South Carolina's "Golden Corner" will quickly captivate you and you'll be ready to call it home in no time. The cities of Seneca, Pickens, Walhalla, West Union, Salem and Clemson all offer wonderful outdoor recreation experiences, that small town charm and a top ranked university, just to name a few. These are recognized as one of South Carolina's most safest cities and an excellent place to retire.
This is a family-oriented neighborhood and a place where you can feel safe - it’s got one of the lowest crime rates in the country and thanks to the neighborhood watch, you don’t have to be scared of leaving the house after dusk.
Playgrounds, parks, bike lanes are to be found around every corner, and bars are more an exception than a rule here (you’ll find one or two to go when you put your children to bed and leave them with a sitter for a night).
Things you'll love
The variety is what makes each neighborhood unique. It’s impossible to point out a single group of people living next-door - it can be a family raising four kids, an elderly married couple on retirement, or young, career-driven professionals who commute every day.
