Thanks this guys voice is kinda annoying

My fiance and I discussed moving to different states. He mentioned South Carolina. I did some research and fell in love. I settled on moving to Greenville. The only thing stopping me was raising the money to move. I'm having second thoughts after reading some of the comments from residents who were born and raised there. You have a beautiful state but it's the people that make it feel like home. Just remember this. You were born and raised in South Carolina but your ancestors came from other countries and settled there. I live in a tourist town but I welcome anyone who wants to move here as a friend I haven't met yet. You should do the same.

Somethings are obviously different, but the great regentrification that occurred after Hugo in 1989, has greatly improved the area. When I first visited in 1976, it was very rundown, though very affordable. The sad thing (for natives) is that it has lost some of its small town charm, though it is still regularly voted the friendliest city in America! The food scene is drastically improved.

We came to SC in 1981 because of my husband's job & settled in Mt Pleasant. It is now Mt. Unpleasant, trees are cut without thought about the effects, green spaces are disappearing, huge houses are built on small lots so new subdivisions are crammed full- wildlife such as deer and wild turkeys & birds in general have lost their habitats - people complain about deer eating their gardens that used to be the woods where the deer lived. And worse are older black neighborhoods are being destroyed by the greed of builders. The traffic is horrible. A beloved 300 year old live oak- the Meeting Tree was just cut down so a turning lane could be added. If you enjoy heavy traffic, highways getting wider, overbuilding, disregard for the environment. If you enjoy rain, there is flooding in Charleston when it rains -especially during high tide- making it difficult to get to work, this is the place for you. If you like the exciting, keep you on the edge of your seat you will experience during hurricane season & if you like the excitement of a hurricaine that also brings tornadoes, hitting you, - and leaves you without electricity or drinkable water for days along then this is the place for you. You will get a glimpse of beauty and the next day it will be gone. You are more likely to have neighbors from Ohio and to hear a New York accent than to hear the soft, distinct Charleston accent.

We go to Myrtle Beach for Summer Vacation every year since 2015. I must say in just 5 years, I have noticed the amount of housing down there growing tremendously. It is a very long area. North Myrtle Beach all the way down to Murrels Inlet is like 50 miles long. Conway is a popular town which is like 17 miles inland from there. I love all the palm trees every where. I believe it is the most northern city where you can see lots of palm trees. I did notice last year because of the pandemic lots of restaurants were already closed down. Being an area that survives on tourism and summer vacationers, I don't think it would be a good choice for people looking to make a career in the area. However, for retirement, or people who are able to earn a living remotely this would be a great choice. The beaches here are so clean and top notch compared to what I am use to more north.

Landrum is a great place to spend the day but they are close knit and not open to newcomers. Also you have to drive a good ways for shopping and restaurants. Real estate prices are outrageous there.

Clemson is in Pickens county not Greenville although they do have car research facility

Yeah I think the Natives said that about the British in Charleston when they “moved there” too. I have no problem with anyone moving anywhere, just don’t try and claim something that isn’t yours. The country didn’t belong to the British, neither does SC belong to any certain person in this country whether they’re born there or not. I was told that back when I moved to SC. I had to point out that I have a great grandmother buried outside Spartanburg so whether I was “born there” or not, I had roots.

I used to be able to get to the beach in 15 minutes and now it takes me 40 to 45 minutes to get there on 501 so now I have to take 544 and Jump on 31. We need a highway that goes straight to Myrtle Beach with no lights coming from Conway and it can be called Myrtle Beach Express. That's the only problem I have with all of the people moving here. 😁

I moved near Charleston after living in Arizona for years, it was like heaven moving here with the ocean and beautiful scenery. I feel safer on my walks and more likely to explore nature. The people have been chill with me and don't bother me. I sympathize with people saying stop moving here tho, just wanna say cause I saw a comment that said 'tired of people saying it was better where they came from " well I love it here. I love the history here too. I want to go on a sail boat soon. I think maybe there's something healing about living near the ocean and seeing it in person.
