You don’t mention where “here” is located.
Road bikes tend to come with road bike gearing.
Meaning a little tougher to get up the hills.
Depending on your location and severity of hills, buy road and potentially change gearing, or look at other options, like gravel.
I own 4 road bikes and have modified the gearing on them to better fit me and the SF Bay Area.
