Woodside saunters across 2,800 acres of virgin hardwoods forest and sits next door to a nature preserve. Wide landscaped streets weave their way throughout the community. The seven distinct neighborhoods are linked by manicured walking trails and peppered with ponds, foot bridges and homes in a variety of architectural styles. Six of the neighborhoods date from the 1980s, 1990s and early-2000s and have everything from simple ranch ramblers and to elegant estate homes. Many homes have a golf course view. The newest neighborhood, The Village, was built during the last few years and has rowhouses, cottages and single family homes in the neo-classical tradition.

South Carolina:

Francisco de Gordillo explored the present-day South Carolina coast during 1521 but was unable to establish a town. The French also failed to colonize in 1562. The English settled here in 1670, but they moved on to Charleston when the conditions worsened. The two Carolinas split officially in 1729. The state was the first to leave the Union during the Civil War.

South Carolina was once primarily agricultural and still grows peanuts, watermelons, peaches and tobacco. Today, though, it is mostly known for its textile mills. Wood products, asbestos, steel, pulp and chemicals are particularly important. A commercial tea plantation, and the only one in America, lies on an island 20 miles South of Charleston.

Top attractions include Fort Sumter, which is a national monument, the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, the Cypress Gardens (located in Charleston), Hilton Head resorts, the Cowpens National Battlefield, the Botanical Gardens and the Riverbanks Zoo.

55+ Communities and Single People

It often seems as though 55+ communities are full of happily married people. This is not always the case, though, as the demographic fact is that women often outlive their spouses. It is true that newer developments draw couples because newer developments tend to draw younger retirees. This is simply because older communities have residents who moved in longer ago. Older developments have more singles, particularly women, because the residents are often older. As to where to find single men, that is out of our area of expertise.
