Other than “Affordability” and “Low Real Estate Taxes. This small town has a contagious community spirit to quote a “Southern Living” article and listed as one of the BEST small towns. Here are 7 reasons why Aiken could be the right place for you.

 

Horse Culture

    Equestrian activities attract a lot of people. It makes Aiken charming, diverse, and unique.           Even if you do not ride or own a horse; people love to watch many of the horse events and         activities. It brings a smile to your face seeing all the beautiful horses and farms located here      in Aiken.

 

Golf and Outdoor Sports

                Avid Golfer? We are here at THE Aiken Golf Club established in 1912, it’s an Aiken landmark.                    Golf is widespread here and the weather allows you to play year-round. There are 18 courses                 within a 15-mile radius of Aiken, 8 of which are public courses and 7 are private courses                             according to Aiken Digest and there are more in the making.

 

 Great weather

    Did we mention, the great weather? A mild year-round climate with the beauty of 4 seasons.     This entices a lot of retirees, especially from the colder states to make Aiken, SC their home.

 

 Southern Hospitality

    It’s true… the gift of the community is the friendly people who give you a sociable wave,            relaxed conversations and making new friends is easy.

 

Dog Friendly

We love traveling with our dogs and Aiken is one the most dog friendly places based on my experiences. There are numerous places you are allowed to walk your fur babies. Hitchcock woods, Audubon Sanctuary, state, and local parks. Lots of stores and restaurants allow your pups to either shop or dine with you too.

 

Location

All within a 2–3-hour drive you can explore beaches, mountains, and big city lifestyle. You have the best of both worlds, the quaint laid-back small town feeling and an easy drive to major urban city life. Airports are in Columbia, SC and Augusta Georgia within 45 minutes.

 

Culture & Vibrant Downtown

     Aiken offers so much in terms of history, culture, and natural beauty. It is easy to embrace the      low- key Southern lifestyle and explore the great scenery that will take your breath away.

 

The Aiken community is charitable, giving and always ready to greet you with a smile. Ready to plan a visit or want to learn more? Remember we welcome your call, emails, or just comment below. We are happy to show you the town we are proud to call our home.
