Western South Carolina

Looking to live and work in a hidden gem of an area that’s nestled perfectly in the middle of it all? Consider Western South Carolina.

“We’re under three hours to the beach, a few hours from the mountains, and it’s easy to get to big cities like Atlanta, Savannah and Charleston,” says Mike Uhle, a resident of the region. “A lot of people take advantage of our location to take three-day weekends.”

Western South Carolina is situated along the South Carolina-Georgia line and includes the bustling counties of Aiken, Edgefield, McCormick and Saluda. It’s also located just across the Savannah River from Augusta, GA. This section of the Palmetto State includes scenic forests, pristine golf courses, beautiful lakes and miles of trails, making it a perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts.

The region is also the perfect place to start or grow a career. Western South Carolina is home to several thriving industries, including advanced manufacturing, chemicals, plastics, energy research, food processing, and research and development.
