There are many schools in the area to choose from and Newberry is very family-friendly. I also love how friendly the neighbors are and the southern hospitality. I feel a lot more relaxed when I moved here. We have several parks in the area including Lynch's Wood Park which is one of my favorite ones in the summertime. The best thing about living in Newberry is the weather because the winters are mild and the summer is perfect as we have several family-friendly activities throughout the town. Read Less
