Beaufort doesn't really sound "cheapest".

[@jarvisstradford7211]

It is cheaper than Hilton Head

I’m a native of Charleston, South Carolina and I can tell you it is not cheap to live here. Also Rental rates are astronomical! It’s very difficult to drive in Charleston because if you do, you will be sitting in a traffic jam. So many people have relocated here maybe they were at one time living here back in the 60s 70s or 80s and they were stationed in the military here and they liked it so they decided to come back and stay. Southern hospitality is here we love visitors, but if you’re considering moving to Charleston, South Carolina, make sure that you know these things. Another downside is it’s extremely hot in the summer very high humidity. I’m not saying don’t move to Charleston. There are a lot of nice places, but it’s not inexpensive to live in South Carolina. Local taxes, state taxes, all add up on top of whatever your property is that you purchase. Insurance rates are extremely high here. Best wishes to anyone who decides to locate the South Carolina, but just be aware visiting here on a vacation is not the same as actually moving here. Thanks for the video.

Might be best to avoid coastal towns, to keep insurance costs lower.

[@RetirementLifeSouthCarolina]

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Charleston native! You're absolutely right that the cost of living in Charleston has skyrocketed, especially with rental rates and taxes. However, it’s worth noting that South Carolina as a whole can be more affordable than other parts of the country. While Charleston has become expensive, there are still many areas in the state where the cost of living is lower, offering a better balance between affordability and quality of life.
As for the weather, that’s definitely a factor anywhere you choose to live! Charleston summers can be brutal with the humidity, but people looking to move here should keep in mind that weather varies across the state. Some may find the coastal climate appealing, while others might prefer the more temperate Upstate areas.
Traffic, like you mentioned, is a big issue in Charleston, particularly with so many people moving to the area. For anyone considering relocation, it’s important to weigh all these factors carefully-Charleston has a lot of charm, but it comes with its challenges.
Thanks again for sharing your insight, and for anyone deciding to move to the Palmetto State just drop me a note. my team and I would be happy to help.

Will you please talk about
Property Taxes
Home insurance
Car insurance
State taxes
Sales taxes
And utilities
These usually are the big chunk of the retirees income
