Aiken

A small, well known golfing and equestrian town in suburban South Carolina where wealthy New Englanders tend to retire or spend the winter. The town is growing rapidly due to the influx of old money coming from the North. The neighborhoods, including Woodside Plantation and Cedar Creek, are exclusive semi-retirement communities with stringent bylaws. For example, one may not display a sports flag from his or her home or mailbox except on game days, and holiday lights must kept to the minimum. First class golf courses, regal estates and beautiful horse farms line the roads into and out of the quaint downtown.
