Charleston Retirement Property

Charleston, South Carolina continues to receive national recognition as one of the best places to retire.  Most recently,  the book Retirement Places Rates (2008), written by David Savageau, ranked Charleston as the second best place to retire.  In 2006 and 2007, Money Magazine ranked the Charleston area as one of the top retirement areas in the country.  Not to mention Tennis Magazine also included Charleston in its list of the most desirable places to retire in the U.S.A.

So why is the Charleston area getting this kind of recognition? What is so special about the Holy City?  The aforementioned rankings were judged on factors such as ambience, housing, services, personal safety, the economy, climate, cost of living and repeated visits to these areas.

Charleston has a tremendous amount to offer from its endless list of cultural and recreational activities to the numerous restaurants, parks, shopping centers, colleges and churches.  Whether you enjoy fishing, boating, bicycling, golfing, gardening, playing tennis…the year round average temperature of 70 degrees is sure to please you. The lush vegetation, beaches, lakes, and wildlife make Charleston a beautiful place to live.

The low cost of living and thriving economy are pluses as well.  As the Charleston area continues to grow and flourish it still maintains its historic charm.  This Southern city continues to be ranked the best mannered city” and has held that title for several years in the running!
