Combining decorous Southern charm with a vibrant arts scene, Rock Hill is one of South Carolina's largest cities, as well as a thriving suburb of Charlotte, which lies 25 miles away across the state border.

The [Gettys Art Center,](https://www.oldeenglishdistrict.com/points-of-interest/gettys-art-center) a longtime downtown jewel, houses a pottery center and a community art studio as well as the offices of the [Hill City Church](https://www.facebook.com/hillcitysc/). A former courtroom on the second floor alternately hosts musical performances and church services.

Residents look forward to the [Come-See-Me Festival](https://www.comeseeme.org/), a 10-day community celebration held every spring, featuring such diverse events like “Everything Trucks!” and “Moonlight Jazz & Blues.”

Among the places on Money’s list, Rock Hill counts a relatively modest median family income of under $57,000 and a typical home price of $175,000 — suggesting that it's a place where residents can live well on less. — *Max Zahn*
