Between the more than 500 square miles of islands connected by salt water creeks, marshes and rivers, the streets of the city, lined with sprawling oaks shading antebellum houses, tabby ruins and plantation homes and the sounds of horse drawn carriages echoing through the air, its hard not to fall in love with Beaufort.

My 16 year old son and I need a new beginning after being devistated by a terrible separation and up coming divorce. I am trying to find a safe town with good schools and jobs for us to move. Is the rent here high? Is there a community college?

Beaufort, SC is a beautiful area surrounded by water! Housing is affordable, but this is a smallish kind of town,so jobs aren't plentiful. There is a military base in Beaufort. Savannah is due west and Charleston is due east. It's a really nice area and very well located.

Well I have to tell you that I am a little bias. My wife Deb (Beaufort native) and I restored and developed The Beaufort Inn which you see in the photo above. We love Beaufort and enjoy the people and the community. We sold the Inn in 2000 and now have a real estate company on Ladys Island about a mile from downtown. If you have questions about Beaufort feel free to give a call.
Thanks, Russ & Deb
