Clinton, located in the heart of the upstate, has long been the place people came to meet. Today they still come to Clinton to get together with friends and family but there is so much more to experience.

That's why our motto is visit for the experience - stay for the lifestyle. Everyone in the community has a different story about what led them here, but the small town way of life is why they stay. Ask around, you will soon find out why so many choose to call Clinton home.
