I think Pinckney Retreat is a nicer neighborhood. It's quite pretty - a historical old house as the office, beautiful old oak trees, ponds, a small pool, good dock (no boat ramp). I think the HOA fees run around $1800, with a min. sq. foot. of 2000. There is only 1 family living there so far (renting?
), with about 5 houses for sale. It will be gated & is in the City of Port Royal - a pretty good school district I think. Live Oaks has had some problems (in Beaufort city limits) - only 1 house occupied also, about 6 for sale (lacking kitchen appliances), no pool, but does have a boat ramp/dock. it's behind a car dealership which was supposed to be moving - didn't happen. It could be a nice subdivision down the road, but I think I'd prefer Pinckney Retreat at the point in time.
Good luck
