This South Carolina Town Has Charm Of A Small Town Charm But Feels Like A City
Living in a big city is the right choice for many many people, myself included. There’s always something to do, new restaurants, events, shopping, and more. I personally couldn’t imagine life any other way. I love the vibe of a small town main street, and it seems alluring sometimes when I’m driving through. But I know wholeheartedly I’d be bored in a week. Living in a city gives you a lot, but it also brings with it a constant hustle and bustle that’s not for everyone. But what if you could have the best of both worlds? The charm and close-knit culture of a small town and the amenities of a city.
Small towns are the backbone of our country so TheTravel.com compiled a list of the small towns that have a city feel. These cities make excellent vacation destinations or even places to call home. And one South Carolina small town was described by The Travel as feeling much like a city. It’s Beaufort.
This coastal South Carolina town has roots all the way back to 1512. Everything you love about the Lowcountry you’ll find in Beaufort including historic streets and Spanish moss-draped live oaks. There’s also plenty do to for visitors and locals alike. It’s always great to see South Carolina represented on national lists like this one!
South Carolina Town Looks "Straight Out Of Europe"
You don’t have to fly to Europe to experience its beauty. It seems like everyone I know has been in Europe these past few months. However, that trip is not in my budget these days! But the good news is you can still get the look and feel of several European cities and regions right here in the United States. And no, I’m not telling you to visit Paris, TX, or Rome, GA. Though I’m sure they are wonderful places to visit. We can do more than just a name! In fact, you don’t have to travel far at all. One South Carolina town is featured on House Beautiful‘s list of towns Straight Out Of Europe.
Even as someone who hasn’t visited Europe it’s obvious even through photos how much more beauty and culture is in the architecture and towns. This is obviously due to the rich history of the cities and countries. The charm is quaint and iconic and even when relocating many immigrants chose to bring the style of their homeland with them. We are very lucky to have towns all across the county with influences from places like England, Spain, Italy, Poland, The Netherlands, France, Greece, Germany, and more.
Even if you’re idea of a vacation leaves you stuck in the country you can still revel in the European style. (And get that perfect Instagram photo). You can even make the quick drive to South Carolina to feel like you’re in Europe. Keep reading to see the 35 towns and cities featured on House Beautiful‘s list.
