Relocating to the Good Life
"Best Small Town in the South" – Southern Living
Southern Living readers consistently rate Beaufort as one of
the “Best Small Towns in the South” in the magazine’s annual
survey, and the area also makes a regular appearance on lists of
the “best places to retire.” Proud to be a bit off the beaten path,
Beaufort is often described as a smaller version of its historic
big city sisters, Savannah (40 miles to the south) and Charleston
(70 miles north).
Beaufort’s year-round temperature averages about 65 degrees.
Coastal residents and visitors alike adore the area’s temperate
climate, because it allows outdoor recreation twelve months of the
year.
Lifestyle choices in the Beaufort area are as abundant as the local
wildlife, ranging from spacious mansions in the downtown historic
district, to quaint cottages and beach front condominiums, to
traditional residential neighborhoods. New town homes and renovated
lofts town add a new, revitalized look to our historic downtown,
and frequently feature spectacular water views. Golf resorts and
gated communities offer waterfront living and amenities designed to
showcase Lowcountry life at its finest and fullest. Newer
communities mirror and compliment the town’s historic old south
“feel,” featuring traditional home designs and classic styles. Wide
open rural spaces throughout the myriad islands offer seclusion and
privacy for those seeking a quiet lifestyle, but with easy and
close access to town. Seasonal rentals are also available
throughout the area.

experienced realtors can help you find the perfect home to
