Beaufort, South Carolina
Beaufort, South Carolina
Beaufort is the second oldest town in South Carolina, and the accolades haven't stopped pouring in since its inception.
Some recent honors include being named, “The East Coast's Most Romantic City,” by Life Magazine. Fortune named Beaufort one of its, “Top 50 Affordable Places to Retire”.
With a population of 12,950 people, Beaufort is the namesake of Beaufort County South Carolina, which has a total population of 132,889 people, and is the fastest growing county in South Carolina.
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.
Beaufort is one of Peachtree Publishers', “Top 50 Small Southern Towns,” as well as being named, “A Distinctive Destination,” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and being one of three National Historic Landmark Districts in South Carolina. In spite of the fan fare, Beaufort has maintained a cool head and remains a place full of charm and a lack of pretension.
Although you may never want to leave, Beaufort SC is near a couple of larger cities. Savannah, Georgia is only an hour away; Charleston, SC is about two hours to the north; and Hilton Head Island is only about a half hour away. All locations are accessible by the water as well.

Hi Barbara,
Please read about Beaufort by clicking Best Places NC/Beaufort,
on our site.
please send me info regarding Beaufort and the local jobs
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 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.
Bob

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. Our contact info is on our website. Just click on the name above
Thanks, Russ & Deb
