South Carolina Retirement Communities

South Carolina Retirement Communities features quotes from Andrew Jackson, 6th President of the U.S. born in Waxhaw, South Carolina:
..As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.

..Never take counsel of your fears.

..To the victors belong the spoils.

..There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.

..We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government.

South Carolina is loved by golfers. In the Spring, golfers come to this state for its warm climate and golf. Myrtle Beach with its 100 golf courses, twenty of which have been ranked in the top 100 by Golf Digest, is a popular golf and retirement destination. The warm, energizing coastal beaches are another huge attraction for retirees who reside there for 6 months or permanently. Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach are the best known areas for a coastal retirement, but we will point out smaller and quieter towns as well.
