Beech Island is one of the oldest settlements in South Carolina. Once a buzzing trading post in the 17th century, the town is now a picturesque community just minutes from the town of Aiken and South Carolina’s border with Georgia. Largely residential, Beech Island is full of affordable homes near the city center and new, modern apartment complexes near the river. Residents enjoy a quiet atmosphere with an overall lush environment. Being near the Savannah River means there are lush wooded areas that surround the neighborhoods.
Crossing the river into Georgia is a breeze thanks to State Route 28 and Interstate 520, putting the amenities of Augusta just a few minutes away.
