Port Royal, South Carolina: Something for Everyone 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) As a homeowner in Port Royal, South Carolina, I can vouch that this place is wonderful. If you are a member of the military and need a home close to the base here, then consider this community. The homes overall are affordable and there is so much to do here.

Living in Port Ro
...Read More yal, South Carolina provides a wealth of opportunities for recreation. Locally there is a great little beach for you and your family to enjoy. A little drive will take you to even more beaches where you can spending a day enjoying the sand and finding seashells

The neighborhood here are safe. The neighbors know each other and we often have community barbeques in which everyone just sits around and laughs and catches up. I guess the closeness of the community members is what keeps the crime rate down in this area.

My town is beautiful and relaxing. You will find everything that you need here to call it home. It doesn’t matter if you are single or are raising a family, this place is for everyone. Read Less
