Why you'd want to live in Summerville
You've heard of Charleston, I'm her younger sister. Located just 24 miles from Charleston, Summerville is at the HEART of it all. A place where the flowers bloom by the acre, and history lives on every corner. Where world-class cuisine is served with a side of Southern charm, sweet tea is measured by the gallon, and it's a short ride to Rainbow Row, the Edge of America, and gardens galore. Steeped in natural beauty of lush pines and blooming azaleas, Summerville, a Tree City USA community, has many outdoor parks and gardens to explore. We may be a small town, but we've got charm. Take a stroll through our historic downtown or simply take a seat and enjoy the small-town charm as you allow your taste buds to tingle with every sip of our homegrown southern sweet tea. You’ll soon find yourself feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and thinking that this is exactly how life should be. So, come on in and hang out in the town where not only the tea is sweet, but the people are too. via visitsummerville.com
