Living a rich life! Well, if you are living somewhat of a rich life then you are probably living in some quite wealthy towns. But, some of those wealthy people do enjoy smaller towns more than booming cities. Within the Carolinas, we have a few rich small towns that you can only imagine. So, what are the two richest small towns in the Carolinas you ask? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered and the answer is right here!

Go Banking Rates is naming the richest small town in every single state in the United States. So, we’re going to take a bit of a deep dive into the two richest small towns in North and South Carolina to see. Starting in South Carolina, the richest small town is the island of Kiawah Island. Right on the outskirts of Charleston, Kiawah Island has a median income of about $216,750. The area is home to many large homes and often where many famous individuals have their vacation, beach homes. The barrier island is primarily private beach home neighborhoods and resorts. Very exclusive when it comes to those with the money to be able to live in the area.

Now, let’s head to North Carolina! In North Carolina, the richest small town is Marvin, North Carolina. Marvin has a median income of roughly $221,350. Marvin is a more rural suburb part of Charlotte, typically for those not wanting to live in the hustle of the city. The area is known as one of the best areas to live in North Carolina and has tons of beautiful real estate. Wondering what other small towns are on the wealthy list in some other states?
