Weare moving from ny to maybe summerville or columbia sc . which is the best place to live ,work, shop . does anyone know . homes forsale in fla were not great.winters are bad here.
This question has been addressed in many of the threads of this forum. You'll find a lot of information if you go back and read some of the earlier posts.
I have lived in Columbia, SC, where I worked in law enforcement, and I must say I do not recommend that living area to anyone. I was there for a couple years and there is really nothing there except for partying and crime. It is a horrible area as far as college partying to the extreme and the homeless. I would recommend Lexington, SC if you want that area. It is about 15-20 minutes from Columbia and away from all that. It is a smaller town. As far as Myrtle Beach, I actually live here now. I am not impressed with it either. It is completely dead to the nightlife and jobs. There are very few major stores in each area and stay packed (i.e Walmart). I guess it just depends on what you want. I live not even 10 miles from the beach and for renting a home, we pay $800. It is not a big home either and our considered to live on the outskirts. It is also a retirement place. If you are under the age of 30, I recommend living somewhere else. Good luck and hope this helps!
Wouldn't recommend Myrtle Beach for shopping. Like scliving said, there isn't much here besides outlets and the typical mall. I found more stuff in Charleston than here.

I'd suggest Fort Mill in York County. You'll get the low S.C. gas prices and taxes but be within 5-10 miles of Charlotte for shopping or working. The Fort Mill area is really growing and anything you want to buy is there. If it is not, you got Charlotte very close. If you need a good real estate agent please send me a message.

You would probably like Summerville better. It has more charm than Columbia and Myrtle Beach. We do not care for Myrtle Beach, we refer to it as the "Redneck Riviera"

luckily in S.C. you have at least one good choice.

Agree with the above opinion. Summerville and the Charleston metro have far, far, far more charm than Columbia. You'll like Summerville, IMO.
