Primarily residential, South Beloit features a mix of bungalows and New Traditional homes, often with spacious lots ranging from a quarter to half an acre. The city is experiencing growth, with a casino being built just across the border in Beloit, expected to open in the summer of 2026, which will likely spur further commercial development. South Beloit is home to several parks, including South Beloit Municipal Park, which surrounds Lake Victoria, a former quarry with vibrant blue waters ideal for non-motorized watercraft and disc golf.
