Move South! IT’S BEAUTIFUL HERE. SPECIAL TO CH2/ CB2
E
very year, retirees flock to the South in droves for the next (and maybe the best) chapter of their lives. The kids are officially out of the house, first careers are over, and who wants to shovel snow in their sixties? Sellers have more power when it is a seller’s market. Homes sell faster; multiple bids for the same home are common; the final price is often higher than the listed price; and buyers might make more concessions in order to elevate their offer above others. There are many reasons the Lowcountry attracts those looking to start anew. The temperate weather and abundance of outdoor activities call to those who want to spend their retirement on the golf course, playing pickleball or just discovering new vistas by kayak. The South has become a hotspot for culinary delights as well, with over 200 local eateries, from Thai and Mexican to Italian, Mediterranean and more. When you finally hit every restaurant in our area codes, Savannah is just a 30-minute drive for even more options. When it’s too hot or cold to explore outdoors, there is plenty to do inside as well. With art galleries to explore and community theatres aplenty, the Lowcountry has a blossoming art and music scene as well. As part of our Boomers & Beyond special section, we introduce you to local retirement communities as well as assisted-living facilities. If you are reading the digital version of this issue, just click through on the URLs listed to explore each residence or community more thoroughly. We would love to welcome you to the Lowcountry someday!
