A Note as You Go…
We hope this helps in exploring!
The cheesiest thing I share with all of our clients is ‘There’s a Version of this Town for everyone, it’s just a matter of finding yours’.
Don’t like our historic downtown and delicious food scene? Cool. Let me take you to a sleepy pocket of the world like Wadmalaw where you can fish off a dock and see neighbors only if you want to. That sound too slow? There’s neighborhoods focused on golf, boating, family life and so much more…
So if you’re exploring beyond don’t hesitate to check out any of our other area/neighborhood guides!
