Living in Burton

Prices in Burton often undercut Beaufort proper by 15-20%, which is what brings in the military buyers, first-time buyers, and anyone weighing cost against location. This unincorporated stretch of Beaufort County has grown a lot over the past decade, and the housing stock shows it: mostly newer single-family homes and townhomes built in the 2010s and 2020s. Positioned between downtown Beaufort and Port Royal, it keeps both within easy reach, plus MCAS Beaufort. Retail along Robert Smalls Parkway has filled in with groceries, restaurants, and services, so there's less reason to drive into town for the basics.

What makes Burton special

  • 8-minute commute to MCAS Beaufort
  • Newer construction with modern floor plans
  • Lower prices than Beaufort or Bluffton
  • Robert Smalls Parkway commercial corridor
  • Beaufort County School District schools
