I'll be glad to answer any questions about Summerville. There are several newer retirement communities here. You seem to have Charleston pretty much summed up. Good place to visit.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those areas for retirement. Raising kids, commuting to work is a different answer. Beaufort is a great town. If you initially thought Charleston would be a good spot to retire I'd check out Savannah. Easy access to the beach, awesome downtown and the traffic isn't bad.

Excellent info - that is kind of what we were thinking. ** -- vt90 03/16/2021 1:32PM

Between being dead and draftkings referrals, should be no problem for 90! ** -- s.mill hokie 03/16/2021 1:31PM

I thought this might be a Bluffton reference but looks to be 3 hours away ** -- s.mill hokie 03/16/2021 12:39PM

Bluffton's not nearly as toney as Pawley's ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/16/2021 12:52PM
