Question by laughsalot: Moving from Chicago to South Carolina?
My husband and I are interested in moving from Chicago to S. Carolina. We grew up outside of Chicago and are looking for a change of scenery and better weather. I’m wondering what cities in SC are popular for young people to live or if you are just starting a family? Been to Charlestong once and some of the surrounding islands but that was a few years ago. Looking for something affordable (anything is more affordable than Chicago) seems like you can get a lot of house for your money down there but also a place that reminds of Chicago in that it has easy acess to shopping and with good schools. Any suggestions?

Well, I live in North Carolina, but before the current gas crisis we were always going to visit Greenville SC, that is one city with lots to offer, shopping, restaurants and a beautiful down town area. Mountains nearby too!
It does have it’s share of traffic though, but maybe not as bad as you’re used to. We have almost no traffic at all where we live, so it seems bad to me.
Good luck with your choice!

you should try myrtle beach area, prices are cheap now and you close to everything.
If you are looking for something along the coast, Charleston or Hilton Head is probably your best bet. Myrtle Beach is great, but I wouldn’t want to live there. I live close to Greenville in the upstate and I love it. There are plenty of things to do, great schools and compared to Chicago, the traffic is probably not even worth mentioning. And you are equal distance to the beach and the mountains. In 3-4 hours you could be at either. Good luck and welcome to the Palmetto State!
