Located in Aiken County
Tracts of new homes in Burnettown showcase the South Carolina town’s growing appeal. The city’s location between Augusta and Aiken makes it desirable for those who work in either city, while the low cost of living and warm weather attracts retirees. Residents also live among the parks, events and entertainment found in the 15-mile stretch from Augusta to Aiken.
Existing houses typically cost between the mid-$100,000s and the mid-$300,000s. New homes usually sell from the mid-$200,000s to the low $400,000s. There are some single-story townhouses, priced from the mid-$200,000s to the high $200,000s. Prices usually fall below the median U.S. home price of about $410,000, per the National Association of Realtors.
The low cost of living is the top draw to Burnettown, says Eric Crawford, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “There are no city taxes, and the property taxes are very reasonable.” Plus, utility costs tend to be lower than average. Typical electric rates are less than what the average U.S. homeowner pays, and the average monthly water bill is also lower than the national average.
New construction is common, and homebuilders often offer buyers incentives, Crawford says. Opportunities for new homes include:
Children can go to Jefferson Elementary School, as well as Langley-Bath-Clearwater Middle and Midland Valley High. The latter two schools are highly rated. Midland Valley High runs an early college program that enables students to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree from Aiken Technical College. Burnettown is also home to Midland Valley Christian Academy, a top-rated private school for kindergartners through eighth graders.
Many newcomers to Aiken County are retired, Crawford says. “We have a lot of people moving in from out of state, and a lot of them are retirees.” Still, there are also several large employers in the region. Notable examples include:
Langley Pond Park covers 100 acres around a pond of the same name. Anglers and swimmers often head to the 300-acre pond, which also welcomes water skiers, paddlers and, during the annual Augusta Invitational Regatta, rowers. In October, Sassafras Park hosts the Sassafras Festival, a day of live music, car shows and eating contests. There’s more within a 20-minute drive of Burnettown. The annual Aiken’s Makin’ arts and craft show has been held nearby for half a century, and downtown Augusta comes alive with pop-up vendors and street performers on the first Friday of the month. The Augusta GreenJackets, a Minor League Baseball team, play in North Augusta. The team’s name references the green jacket given to the winner of the Masters golf tournament, held every year in Augusta.
U.S. Route 78 passes through Burnettown and leads to downtown Augusta, 8 miles away, and downtown Aiken, 10 miles away. The Best Friend Express shuttle stops at Burnettown’s Langley Plaza shopping center, taking riders to Aiken, Augusta and North Augusta. It’s 15 miles to Augusta Regional Airport, where planes take off for nonstop flights to destinations including Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth and Washington, D.C.
