Suburban Up-and-Coming University Affordable Commuter

Graniteville is a largely residential area off of Interstate 20 that’s growing consistently thanks to the nearby University of South Carolina campus at Aiken. This is a largely residential area, but it’s location near the interstate and Savannah River means that the amenities of the more populous areas are just a short drive away.

There are affordable apartment communities and a plethora of single-family home offerings available to renters. The college town that is Aiken provides an easily accessed center of restaurants and watering holes to enjoy as well. Graniteville’s relatively affordable rent and living costs make it perfect for families and students who don’t mind a mild commute.
