Statesville offers a tranquil environment with predominantly single detached homes and a range of small apartment buildings and duplexes.

Education options include both public and private elementary and high schools, all conveniently located close to residential areas. Pharmacies providing staple foods and several dining options are accessible nearby, enhancing daily convenience. Although the cycling infrastructure is limited due to slopes, many destinations are within easy reach by car thanks to close access to highways such as I-40. Green spaces are available for relaxation and outdoor activities.

The character of Statesville is exemplified by its relaxed atmosphere. Most areas in Statesville are very quiet, as the streets are very peaceful around the airport (Statesville Rgnl), one of the railway lines, I-40 or I-77. Access to public green spaces, including Statesville Park & Soccer Complex, is very hard from most locations within the city since they are sparse. Despite that, there are a few parks nearby for residents to explore.
