I've spent over 30 years finding the best real estate locations for major corporations. These companies have made hundreds of millions of dollars based on the locations I've selected. I'm a professional real estate site locator and location analyst. During the last 5 years, I've been researching the growth of towns in North and South Carolina, for the relocation of my family. I've studied hundreds of towns to find those areas which are still affordable, have a high quality lifestyle, and the potential for future growth. My purpose is to share what I've found with you and help you find your Best Place to Live in the Carolinas.
South Carolina has a great number of beautiful, affordable lake communities for any budget and lifestyle, be it retirement or relocation.
Lake Thurmond is seventy thousand acres, and is one of the largest water bodies in South Carolina. Sandwiched amidst two parts of the lake just beyond McCormick, surrounded by half a million plus acres of Sumter National Forest, encompassing forty hundred acres is Savannah Lakes Village community. The 4,300 real estate owners have access to a twenty three thousand square foot recreation center, bowling alley, eighty clubs of various types, shuffleboard, mini-golf course, bocce ball courts, 2 eighteen golf courses with practice facilities and matches; a grill-deli; a couple of clubhouses with cafeterias, 4 tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools. So welcome are guests that they maintain an eighty room inn at the marina and 2 bedroom townhouses to hire.
One of the best places when searching for a Carolina retirement community! Northeast of Savannah Lakes Village is the city of Greenwood South Carolina. Around 12 miles east of Greenwood you have the 11,000 acre Lake Greenwood. The Plantation at Grand Harbor is sixty miles from Greenville-Spartanburg airport and roughly seventy miles to Columbia. The showpiece of the community is “The Patriot,” a full golf course themed on the American Revolution, planned by Davis Love III. You’ll have a golf and yacht clubhouse with catering, a marina, a 50 acre equestrian center; nature reserve, spas, the beach on Lake Greenwood and pools, plus a gym.
One more community on Lake Greenwood is the forty acre New Urbanism community of Palmetto Crossing. Living at this Carolina retirement community presents you with walkable access to the Towne Center, which boasts a book library, specialty retails shops, galleries and cafeterias. But the most significant facility is The Palmetto Club, with its tavern, rooftop club, fireside, billiards, concierge, and screening theater for movies. There is a gymnasium, swimming pool and a eighty four slip marina. Palmetto Crossing offers reasonably priced condo homes, single family homes and town homes.

Situated on the 50 thousand acres of Lake Murray, Harbor Watch is a little west of Columbia South Carolina.

Residents of this community come here for one reason, the lake.
In the northwestern end of the state, amidst the mountains, you have the 18,000 acre Lake Keowee.
