3 Best Kid-Friendly and Dog-Friendly Neighborhoods in Beaufort

At The Greco Group, we know that choosing a neighborhood is about more than just square footage or a price point. It’s about finding a place where your kids can play safely, your dog can tag along on daily adventures, and your family feels right at home.

With our deep roots in Beaufort and years of helping families settle here, we’ve seen which neighborhoods check all the boxes for both children and pets. Here are three of our top picks.

Habersham

Why families love it:

Habersham is a thoughtfully planned community filled with tree-lined streets, parks, and playgrounds. Kids can ride bikes, play outside, and grow up in a neighborhood that feels like a true village. Shops, cafés, and schools are just a short walk away, making it easy for busy parents to stay connected.

Why dogs love it:

With miles of sidewalks, trails, and plenty of green space, Habersham makes daily walks a joy. It’s a community where pets are part of the lifestyle — you’ll often see neighbors walking with dogs in tow or stopping at outdoor cafés where four-legged friends are welcome.

Battery Point

Why families love it:

Battery Point combines charm and convenience. It has a playground, community dock, walking trails, and social events that bring neighbors together. Families here appreciate the safe streets and the balance of being close to downtown while still having that neighborhood feel.

Why dogs love it:

Wide trails, quiet streets, and marsh-front views make this neighborhood perfect for evening walks. Battery Point also offers easy access to Beaufort’s waterfront parks and pet-friendly spaces downtown, so your dog can be part of the adventure.

The Point (Historic Beaufort)

Why families love it:

If you’ve ever strolled through The Point, you know how magical it feels. With historic homes, shady oaks, and walkable streets, this neighborhood is one of Beaufort’s gems. Families love the proximity to schools, cultural attractions, and the waterfront — all within a few blocks.

Why dogs love it:

The Point is truly both kid-friendly and dog-friendly. Quiet, shady streets make for safe walks, and you’re just steps from parks and downtown restaurants that welcome pets. It’s a neighborhood where you’ll always see families out with strollers, bikes, and leashes in hand.

Life Beyond Your Backyard

One of the best things about living in Beaufort is that our neighborhoods connect you to even more family- and pet-friendly spaces:

• The Spanish Moss Trail offers miles of paved, pet-friendly walking and biking paths.

• Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park is a favorite for family outings (with dogs welcome on leash).

• And if you love the beach, Hunting Island State Park is just a short drive away — dogs included.
