Sit up and take note, folks! Beaufort has just been named one of the top 12 best small towns to live in across the U.S. Now, isn’t that something?
Last month, Travel + Leisure magazine rounded up a dozen of the coziest, most charming U.S. towns with less than 25,000 residents. And yep, among those jewels, Beaufort, South Carolina, shone bright.
Big cities may have that alluring hustle and bustle, but lately, more folks are falling in love with the tranquillity of small-town life. According to a Gallup Poll last year, almost half of Americans themselves admitted they’d prefer to settle in a small or rural town. That’s much higher than in 2018!
And it’s not surprising when you think about it. Small towns offer many of the same conveniences as larger urban areas – hospitals, schools, sports activities, entertainment options – but on a way smaller scale. Plus, there’s a stronger sense of community, less stress, and often a more scenic setting that encourages an active lifestyle.
From the glittery incline village in Nevada to the lively streets of Whitefish, Montana, this list is full of beautiful spots primed for an idyllic lifestyle:
So, what makes Beaufort, SC so special? Well first off, it’s the second oldest city in South Carolina rooted deep in history and Southern culture! And, to top it all, Beaufort is located on Port Royal Island, which means residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to beachfront locations and watersport options all year round. Who wouldn’t want that?
To add to that, the extensive range of waterfront and golf communities here provides resort-style living almost everywhere you look! And, best of all, homes in the area are cheaper than the national median.
Of course, if you’ve ever visited Beautifort, this wouldn’t really come as a surprise. The town has been seeing a fair bit of praise lately. Just this year, Southern Living named Beaufort the #1 Best Small Town in all of South Carolina. Meanwhile, CNN described Beaufort as one of the Best Small Towns in America!
So, if you’re thinking about making a move from the bustle of the city to a peaceful small town, you might want to consider Beaufort, SC. It just might be the forever-home you’ve been looking for!
