half an hour.

Home Prices
The average South Carolina home value is
$298,029, up 1.5% over the past year. This
is below the national average of $361,263,
according to the Zillow Home Values Index 2025.
Additionally, an owner-occupied rate of 70% –
also better than the national average – shows
stability in the market.

Apartments & Rentals
People who are renting make up nearly 30% of
the population across Orangeburg, Dorchester,
and Berkeley counties. The median rent is about
$1,200 per month.

Retirement Living
The Tri-County Region’s focus on safe
communities extends to comfortable and
affordable housing for people aged 55 and
older. While most area seniors reside in single-
family homes, there is the option to choose
one- or two-bedroom apartments in a modern,
independent or assisted living community that
provides amenities and activities to encourage
camaraderie and active lifestyles. Facilities may
include clubhouses with kitchens and fitness
centers, computer centers, putting greens,
swimming pools, and gardens.
