Maybe the prospect of senior life in an idyllic environment guaranteed to uplift mind, body and soul isn’t incentive enough. Perhaps world class healthcare and a tax structure that screams “we love you,” to seniors will motivate you to start packing.
Active adult communities in Charleston, South Carolina beckon. Check out just a few reasons so many of the young-at-heart are enthusiastically answering the call.
Tee it Up
Nothing says health and wellbeing like Charleston’s balmy ocean breezes and sunshine. Throw a pair of golf shoes into the equation and you have year-round nirvana. Charleston is a world-renowned golf hub featuring courses for all playing levels, including the daunting Ocean Course on nearby Kiawah Island. That windswept, seaside monster can take its toll on even the most experienced golfers. But, never fear, recovery is available onsite at the Ryder Cup Bar. Or, pull up an Adirondack chair and watch other golfers struggle as you serenely sip.
Other Stuff to Do on Land

From historic landmarks, like the Charleston Museum, one of America's oldest museums, to a vast array of theatrical venues, to arenas like the North Charleston Coliseum that features sporting events and musical concerts, your options for entertainment on terra firma are virtually unlimited.
Healing Powers of the Sea
Charleston’s magic extends beyond its shores into the shimmering sea. Spend the day with the sea breeze in your hair, sailing, fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, or just hang out at any one of the many nearby beaches. The ocean is very central to life in Charleston and it is at your fingertips.
