Andrews, SC

Tucked into the South Carolina Lowcountry about 17 miles west of Georgetown, Andrews offers a quiet, laid-back setting for around 2,600 residents. The town sits along U.S. 521, mostly in Georgetown County with a small section extending into Williamsburg County. Originally formed when two railway settlements merged around the turn of the twentieth century, Andrews grew up around the local timber and rail industries, leaving behind a compact downtown surrounded by leafy residential neighborhoods.
