About South
Hills
South Hills, located between Downtown Charleston and the Kanawha State Forest, is a residential and hillside Charleston neighborhood with winding ridge roads and broad valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bridge Road corridor near the South Hills Market area, where coffee counters, local eateries, and small storefronts line the street. Community pillars include South Hills Market, Lola’s Pizza, and the annual FestivALL events that spill into nearby venues downtown. Brick colonials and mid-century ranches sit on wooded lots, with stair-stepped streets that follow the terrain. Trails and overlooks shape daily routines, while the commute patterns flow across the South Side Bridge into the city core. Parks and school campuses add a steady, lived-in rhythm without feeling removed from Charleston’s cultural calendar.
