Retirement, Rest and Relaxation: 5 Reasons to Retire In South Carolina
In a place as beautifully diverse as South Carolina, you’re bound to feel at home at any age. This is especially true for those in their golden years. Retirement life in the Palmetto State is positively unbeatable for just about every reason you could imagine, and while we know that is a strong statement, our McCord’s Ferry at Lake Marion team is prepared to back it up with proof. Keep reading for standout reasons why retiring in South Carolina is as sweet as our tea.
Year-Round Access to the Great Outdoors
Opportunities to explore the great outdoors are never in short supply for South Carolina residents. Whether you’re an avid fisherman or frequent golfer, our warmer falls and mild winters combined with our diverse terrain ensure you can enjoy all your favorite activities no matter the season. When summer begins to heat up, you can cool off with a trip to one of our many famous beaches.
With a private dock to the state’s largest lake and access to neighboring Santee State Park, McCord’s Ferry residents have no issue enjoying the beautiful Lowcountry nature.
Amazing Tax Benefits for Retirees
We work hard in our youth so that we can play (or relax) hard in retirement. In South Caroline, retirees are able to make the most of their money with absolutely no state tax deductions taken on social security payments. Additionally, residents under 65 can claim a $3,000 deduction, while those over can claim $15,000.
Limitless Adventures
South Carolina is home to an impressively diverse terrain, ranging from mountainscapes and farmland to our famous coast and cities. Retiring in South Carolina means that you'll be presented with new and exciting adventures to explore each day. Because of our community’s ideal location, McCord’s Ferry residents are surrounded by the best day trips in our state. These include our capital of Columbia ( 1 hr.), the beautiful and booming Greenville (2.5 hr.) and the historic cobblestone streets and shores of Charleston (1 hr.).
World-Class Healthcare
Growing older means becoming more attentive to our health. That’s just the way of life. Luckily for South Carolina’s Lowcountry residents, we are surrounded by highly-respected medical institutions, including the Spartanburg Medical Center and the nationally ranked Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC.) With amazing professionals around, South Carolina retirees can rest easy and enjoy the best of Southern living.
A Perfect Family Destination
The Palmetto State is an ideal vacation destination. As a full-time resident, you’ll be living vacation-style year-round. So what does that mean for you? With so much to see and do, your new home will likely become your family’s favorite place to visit! This means more bonding with your children, more adventures with the grandkids and more meaningful memories in your new home than you could ever have imagined.
