Why Live in Beaufort

Beaufort, South Carolina, located on Port Royal Island in the Lowcountry, is celebrated for its walkable downtown, water views, and rich history as the second-oldest city in the state. With a population of just under 14,000, residents often connect through boating, city events, or casual encounters at local stores. The city is known for its historic 18th-century homes, particularly in the Old Point neighborhood, featuring Neoclassical, Federal, and Greek Revival styles. Other neighborhoods like Pigeon Point and Mossy Oaks offer bungalows, Lowcountry cottages, and ranch-style homes. Beaufort's location along the Intracoastal Waterway attracts over two million visitors annually, drawn to its boating culture and nearby beaches. The city's dining scene highlights fresh-caught shrimp, with local favorites like shrimp and grits and Frogmore stew. Downtown's Bay Street is lined with boutiques, restaurants, and art galleries, enhancing its charm. Beaufort hosts several annual festivals, including the 10-day Beaufort Water Festival and the Beaufort Shrimp Festival, both held at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The park is a central attraction, offering scenic views and recreational spaces. Beaufort County Public Schools, including the highly-rated Coosa Elementary School and Beaufort Academy, serve the educational needs of the community. The University of South Carolina Beaufort provides higher education opportunities. While Beaufort enjoys a strong sense of community and numerous attractions, it faces challenges with flooding and severe winds, necessitating special permits for construction and flood insurance for many homes. The city is accessible via Route 21, with connections to Interstate 95, and is served by Palmetto Breeze Transit and nearby airports.
