Known as the Flower town in the Pines, the town of Summerville has a long history of being one of the best places to live in the entire country. A gorgeous town situated in Dorchester County, this South Carolina town is renowned for its charming surroundings.

Although Summerville is rapidly developing due to its proximity to some of South Carolina's major urban centers, this residential community is taking great steps to protect its gorgeous landscape from rapid growth. Situated on a pine-forested ridge, Summerville has historically been a haven for people that wanted to get away to a beautiful place. In the late 1700s, plantation families would move to this tiny forest colony to escape from the muggy heat and mosquitoes of South Carolina.

Once dubbed by the International Congress of Physicians as one of the two best places in the world for the treatment and recovery of lung disorders due to the healing aspects of the town's tree's turpentine scent, Summerville continues to be a major tourist attraction. During the early spring, people are marvelled by the blooming of azaleas in the town's many beautiful gardens.

With a doubling of its population since the 1970s, Summerville continues to grow as a great place to live due to its high quality of life. With its great schools and beautiful scenery, Summerville will continue to be one of the country's best kept secrets.
