Thank you for your comment! You’re absolutely right-Clemson University plays a significant role in the broader Upstate region, and its connection to Greenville is notable. While the campus is about 30 miles away, many of Clemson's events, partnerships, and activities do take place in Greenville, benefiting both the university and the city. The dynamic between Greenville and Clemson is a great example of how nearby communities can mutually support and enhance each other. I appreciate you bringing this up and adding to the discussion!

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you sharing your perspective. It's always a good idea for individuals to research and visit areas personally to determine if they feel comfortable there. Thank you for watching the video!

Thank you so much for watching the video and for sharing your insights! You’re absolutely right-average and median home prices can sometimes feel like they don’t tell the whole story, especially when factors like home size and proximity to downtown vary so widely. Comparing similar homes in similar locations, like downtown versus suburban areas, definitely gives a clearer picture of real costs. Your input is valuable, and I appreciate you bringing it up!

Thank you for your comment Jarvis! Yes, we’re definitely seeing a growing number of people from Florida moving to both North and South Carolina. Many are drawn by the lower cost of living and different lifestyle. It’s always interesting to see these migration trends unfold. Let me know if you need any information or assistance with anything related to moving to the Carolinas!

Thank you for your input Jarvis! It’s great to hear you feel that way about South Carolina. Both states have their unique advantages, but many people do appreciate South Carolina for its lower cost of living, beautiful landscapes, and welcoming communities. If you ever need more information about specific areas in South Carolina, feel free to reach out!

Thank you for your comment Jarvis! Many people choose to work in North Carolina, especially around Charlotte, while living in South Carolina because of the lower cost of living. South Carolina offers more affordable housing options, and since Charlotte is close to the state line, commuting from places like Fort Mill or Rock Hill is quite common. It can be a great way to balance enjoying the perks of working in a large city while benefiting from the lower expenses of living in South Carolina. Are you currently living in South Carolina and working in North Carolina? Let me know if you need more information!

Thank you for your comment! You bring up valid points. Many people move from North Carolina to South Carolina due to the lower cost of living, including more affordable housing and overall expenses. According to recent data, South Carolina's cost of living is generally about 7% lower than North Carolina's, making it an attractive option for those looking to save money. On the other hand, some South Carolina residents work in North Carolina because of the state's larger job market and higher average wages in certain industries. For example, the Research Triangle area and Charlotte are known for their robust job opportunities, particularly in technology, finance, and healthcare. This cross-state dynamic offers a unique balance for those looking for affordable living in South Carolina while still accessing North Carolina's job market. It's a complex interplay of economic factors, and both states have their own strengths and opportunities. Thanks for adding to the discussion!

I believe this is Harbison State Forest. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video.

Yes it's the Riverwalk entrance downtown, literally across the street from Riverbanks zoo. Greystone exit.. The best place to relax in all of Columbia.

Thank you for your comment! It's true that different people have different tastes and preferences. While some may not find Columbia appealing, others might love it for the very same reasons. It's always important to do thorough research and consider personal priorities when deciding on a place to live. Your perspective adds to the diverse range of opinions that help people make informed decisions. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. It's important to hear a range of viewpoints about living in Lexington. Every community has its challenges and not every place is the right fit for everyone. Your feedback is valuable for those considering a move to the area.

Thank you for your comment and for sharing your concerns. I appreciate your feedback. This video is one year old, and at the time of recording, the issues you mentioned were not present in that particular community. Builders often use different contractors for each project, so while some recent issues have surfaced, it doesn't necessarily mean that all homes by a particular builder are problematic. Your input is valuable, and I encourage everyone to do their research and stay informed. Thanks again for watching and for your insights!

Thank you for your comment and for the update! It's great to hear about the new developments in Chapin. I'll be happy to update the video once the roads are completed and the new changes are fully in place. Your feedback is much appreciated, and it helps keep the information current and relevant. Thanks again for watching!

Hi! Thank you for watching the video and for your interest in South Carolina. That's exciting news about your upcoming move!

As a resident true

Thank you for sharing your perspective, Ras. You're absolutely right that Florida continues to attract many new residents each year, contributing to its status as one of the fastest-growing states. However, it's also important to acknowledge that while Florida experiences significant inward migration, it also sees substantial outward migration. As discussed in the video, thousands of individuals and families are indeed choosing to leave Florida for various reasons. Both inward and outward migration play a role in shaping the demographic landscape of the state. Your input adds valuable context to the ongoing discussion about migration trends in Florida. Thank you for contributing to the conversation!

Absolutely, the presence of coastline does indeed contribute to higher housing costs in Florida. Coastal properties often command premium prices due to factors such as proximity to beaches, water views, and recreational opportunities. Additionally, Florida's popularity as a tourist destination and desirable place to live also influences housing demand and prices. These factors, combined with others such as population growth and local market conditions, contribute to the overall higher housing costs in Florida compared to South Carolina. However, South Carolina does offer more affordable housing options compared to Florida, and this affordability can be attributed to various factors such as lower property taxes, less demand for coastal properties, and different market dynamics. These factors contribute to a more favorable housing affordability index in South Carolina, making it an attractive option for those seeking a more affordable cost of living. Thank you for highlighting this important aspect of the comparison and thank you for watching the video.

Thank you for watching the video and for letting me know about the closure of the Blended Bakery. I'm aware that the restaurant has since closed its doors, although it was operational when the video was recorded. Your feedback is very valuable to me, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your observations. Enjoy the remaining of your weekend.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's understandable that opinions on relocation can vary widely, and I appreciate hearing different viewpoints. If you have any specific concerns or questions about the factors driving people to move from Florida to South Carolina, I'd be happy to address them. Constructive dialogue is always welcome! Thank you for engaging with the video!

Yhank you for sharing your perspective! It's great to hear that you enjoy the sound of the train. Interestingly, I also live in an area where I can hear the train, and like you, I've grown accustomed to it over time. It's amazing how certain sounds become a comforting part of our daily surroundings. I appreciate you sharing your experience!.

Thank you for reaching out! Whether you need a job lined up in South Carolina before being approved for a loan can depend on various factors, including the type of loan you're applying for and the lender's specific requirements. While having stable employment can positively impact your loan approval process, it's not always a strict requirement. I recommend consulting with a knowledgeable mortgage lender who can assess your individual situation and provide personalized guidance tailored to your needs. They can offer insight into the specific loan options available to you and discuss any requirements or considerations related to employment. I'll be happy to put in contact with an excellent loan officer that can help you navigate your particular situation. Please text me at 803-220-1678.

I live in Florida but am from Greenville. I visit my family there often. How do you like it? Summers and fall are nice there but it rains a lot. Like drizzly rain for weeks, especially in fall and winter. Otherwise, beautiful city and nice friendly people. Which area of Greenville did you move to?

@@Posi777 Thank you for your comment! It's great to hear about your connection to Greenville. I actually moved to the Columbia area initially and now reside in Newberry County. The weather in South Carolina can indeed be quite varied. Summers are typically hot and humid, while fall brings milder temperatures and beautiful foliage. You're right about the rain - we do get our fair share, especially during the fall and winter months. Despite the rain, the area remains beautiful with friendly communities and plenty to enjoy year-round. Are you planning to come back to SC? Thanks again for sharing your experience and thoughts!

Hey Michael! Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's true that different individuals have varying preferences and priorities when it comes to choosing a place to live. While some may find South Carolina's tax structure or job market to be less favorable for their needs, others may appreciate the state's rich culture, natural beauty, and overall quality of life. Ultimately, the decision to live in a particular area depends on personal circumstances, preferences, and lifestyle goals. I always encourage thorough research and consideration to ensure a well-informed decision that aligns with individual needs and preferences. Thanks for contributing to the discussion!

Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's wonderful to hear that you have a strong affinity for the country of Georgia. While this video focused on comparing the differences between the states of Georgia and South Carolina in the United States, it's always fascinating to learn about different places around the world. Every region has its own unique charm and appeal. Thank you for watching!

By the way, Rachel, are you considering a move to either Greenville or Columbia, or perhaps just curious about the differences between the two cities?

Thank you, Rachel, for your kind words and support! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Your feedback means a lot to me, and I'm grateful for your appreciation. If there are any other topics you'd like to see covered in future videos, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again for watching!

Thanks for sharing your perspective Scott! It's true that Greenville has its own unique charm with its beautiful scenery and vibrant downtown. However, Columbia offers its own array of attractions and opportunities that make it a wonderful place to live and visit. From its rich history and cultural diversity to its thriving arts scene and outdoor recreation options, Columbia has much to offer residents and visitors alike. Each city has its own distinct character, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
