Clemson, South Carolina
Located only two hours from Atlanta, Clemson is a growing college town that makes for an affordable place to retire in. The median house price here is $180,000, but it still depends on the neighborhood. The west side is close to the college, which is home to the Clemson Tigers football team, so it is both louder and livelier when the school year is in session. Clemson is considered to be a friendly place for new faces and offers many continued learning avenues. It’s a good tax base for retirees as well!
