We are thinking of pulling up the stakes and moving to South Carolina! We live on the coast of North Carolina and are just tired of the rising cost of coastal insurances we are required to have as well as other expenses. Also, our town is projected to double in population in the next ten years - with traffic and already having delays in healthcare and waiting in line for everything, this is unbearable already.
I have lived in The South all my life and am currently looking into the different cities such as Greenville, the surrounding cities and Lake Keeowee. If anyone has any suggestions on a good, safe and Southern (not a lot of transplants - no offense but I love my South) part of town or other South Carolina cities to look into, I would appreciate it. I have a lot of friends in the Rock Hill area but have lived in Charlotte and would like a different community that is Christian and Conservative with an active Republican HQ and is a safe, cohesive community.
Not sure if this is the place to post this but am anxious to take a road trip to seek out my next adventure!
Ignore the neurotic, old gasbags here on FR telling you that SC is no different than New York. Take a tour and look for yourselves.
I had no idea. Very cool!
Indian land is also cheap. Only county taxes and there’s little hope of incorporation as the seniors in sun city vote it down every time it’s brought forward.
Indian Land might be cheap compared to beach front property, but thanks to Bidenomics inflation, the price of real estate is up significantly in the past 5 years.
Indian Land is just south of Charlotte. Traffic is a bear. New construction everywhere: single family homes, aparments. Costco and Target are in the works. No plans for new roads. We just built a new high school 2 years ago which is maxed out, wo we need a new one, as well as elementary schools.
Charlotte Hwy, aka Hwy 521 (north/south) is VERY busy most of the day and no plans for widening it in the next 10 years. Also, we are bordered to the west by the Catawba River and only 2 crossing points about 8-9 miles apart.
And lots of blue state refugees. And NO incorporation, and that's a good thing.
Love it here. Just don't recommend it.
Just heard today that there are about 55 homes for sale in Sun City. These are resales. Sun City has about 3,260 homes total. And, NO, I don't live in Sun City, aka "God's waiting room," nor do I recommend moving there.
