South Carolina has been home for AnneMarie since 2001. Her favorite part of the state is Lake Jocassee. An App State alumna, it's always the mountains; the lake bonus makes it heavenly. When not writing about the state, she may be spending time with family, relaxing by the pool, or out somewhere enjoying nature.
In 2022, South Carolina was determined to be the 4th top state people are choosing to move to when relocating. Those who move south do so generally for the weather, cheaper cost of living, and the laid-back atmosphere. Certainly, there are other factors considered when determining the exact place to land, and for those looking for the most peaceful places to live in South Carolina, one area to zero in on is the town of Fort Mill. This town is actually considered a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina, although just across the South Carolina border.
Fort Mill has been deemed the safest city in South Carolina for 2023 in a report by SafeWise based on crime rates. It's a laid-back, historic community in York County with a population of 24,521 and a crime rate that is 71% lower than the national average. And where there is low crime, there is a generally peaceful atmosphere overall.
Nims Village is one of the charming neighborhoods in this small historic city that makes a peaceful place to live in South Carolina and to come home to every day.
The Nims Village neighborhood was designed by Pace Development, featuring modern farmhouse residences in a variety of styles and with amenities like walking trails, large wooded lots that overlook a nature preserve, and a wonderful location.
The location of this peaceful Fort Mill community allows you to walk to neighborhood schools, explore nearby downtown Fort Mill, and enjoy plenty of outdoor recreation.
Just don't forget to take a great water bottle along to stay well-hydrated!
The Anne Springs Close Greenway is just five minutes away and offers 2,100 acres with 40 miles of trails perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
And there is much to explore in the greater Fort Mill area, including delicious dining spots such as the Pump House nearby, museums, shopping, and other attractions. Try apple picking in the fall, for example, at Windy Hill Orchard!
Of course, Charlotte is a quick drive of less than 30 minutes if you're looking for even more options for fun things to do.
