is aiken for families with small children? how are the schools?

I drove to the east from California looking for our dream home. I'm here, right now in Greenville. Based on the California-like traffic, I believe that everyone is moving to Greenville. But not us. I'm trying to get away from the traffic. We visited Falls Park this morning. Nice move locking the public restrooms. I visited Greer yesterday, since my last name is Greer. Try finding a parking spot.

Avoid the black neighborhoods tho 😂

Nothing. I have done pretty much everything possibly known in Anderson, boring city but great quiet place to start a family. Get yourself a boat and go on the lake.

because of me

Been in CLT since ‘99, it’s gotten too crazy here. Looking at Greenville SC now.

Had the best catfish at Smoke on the Water, I enjoyed that place. 👍🏻

Hey anyone know how that older woman is doing who got gored at Yellowstone?

Move to Charlotte if you want to pay NYC housing costs with one sixth the salary!

Crowders Mountain State Park is 30 miles west of Charlotte and is absolutely awesome. Stowe Botanical Gardens too, both in Gaston County. Good video.

Please make a similar wonder-full video of North Augusta! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Your attempt at trying to maintain an objective comparison must have been a struggle. Columbia definitely does suck.

Yes they act friendly but they are mean on the low. They put up a facade. From Delaware and they treat each other bad and gossip allot.

This has been wanted the most informative video presentation I have ever heard. You did an awesome job. And believe it or not, I never knew what CSRA ever meant before now. Thank you so very much. 😊

Reminds me of the “15 minute” type of neighborhood the WEF has been promoting. No thanks.

What is the personal property tax rate on vehicles? How is it calculated?

Typical real estate BS….this guy is preaching FOMO

Not a big fan of your click bait "DON'T MOVE TO SPARTANBURG". Been here 50 years and have no plans to leave.

Someone gets shot every day in Anderson, every week in Spartanburg.

We're moving from #1 to #4! Not a bad move at all! ❤

Nowhere. Go somewhere not stuck in 1989

The Pelham Rd backup is due to people not knowing how to merge, and the constant construction in that area of 85.

Add convenience of MB airport. Always adding more flights. Nice video. We will be one of those 19M in first week in July.

It all depends who you ask. For me to visit but not to live.

Very nice video!

Greenville it's not going faster enough like Charlotte and Raleigh. The City of Greenville can't even pass Rock Hill

I am so confused about Woodside Plantation (yes, I know, not the topic of this video). I read it is a 55+ community, but nothing on it’s website suggest that is true

Love to see your videos. After 3 visits t9 Aiken, we have decided it’s the place for us! Hope to become a resident soon!

I love your videos and I love this one of Aiken! Have you done one in similar style for North Augusta?🎉

Good video. My family and I care nothing about "night life" in terms of partying. We do like concerts, movies, restaurants, museums, shopping, strolling in the evenings. The small towns we love in the Carolinas are New Bern NC and Aiken SC.

What is the job market like for new people coming there to live?

Aiken's awesome

Nice to see someone who really enjoys where they live. Good info all around. Thanks much!

Yeah, this guy is a realtor. He will sell you anything. Beware of Greenville. Local government is dishonest, taxes are rising, and crime is out the top. The infrastructure and services have not been improved to deal with the overpopulation.

I moved to Greenville from Chicago in late 2022. I looked for 5 years for the area I wanted to retire to and Greenville checked all of the boxes for me. Cost of living, weather, restaurants, the downtown is incredibly beautiful, so many outdoor activities, great healthcare in Greenville. For those still looking take a real close look at this great city and you will fall in love with it. My only regret is I did not find it sooner.

How about Duncan SC?

Some of the first things you mentioned are very exaggerated and lacks reasonable context. As a Statistical Analyst and Relocation Specialist since 1985, as far as car "dependency", rail transit is the extremely economically inefficient into terms of tax dollars spent on initial/continual costs and riders per taxpayer ratio. For the money spent, very few people use. It's a horrible money pit. The reason that's the case is cars exponentially offer the most freedom of any mode of transportation. It's not even close. One can go anywhere they want, want time they want, no matter the location or distance. Transit, no matter how good, can never come close to offering that. That is why the overwhelming majority of citizens will not give up their cars, and it makes perfect sense. The reality of its true freedom compared to transit is undeniable. Too, at the end, at various parts of the video, you keep using metro area and city interchangeably. They're very different. You couldn't pay me to live in the CITY of Charlotte. I would never live in any large city. BUT, the Charlotte METRO AREA of about a 40 miles radius is an incredible area in which to live. There's a big difference. Not trying to be unkind, but I don't think the video is a very objective example of what the city or metro area of Charlotte is truly like.

Would've liked to have seen places to eat and fewer bars in the video.

Augusta, GA versus Aiken, S.C. I live on the outskirts of Augusta and have spent much time in Aiken, SC with my friends. Augusta was a great city at one time. However, Augusta is run by dems and has crime, high prices and other problems. Aiken is a super nice city, neat eating places, horse country but does not have the shopping as Augusta outskirts. Both have their advantages.

I moved from San Diego to Aiken. It’s been a relief, mellow and cool. Also SC. Takes care of its Veterans!!! it’s been 3 years, all good.

I Love Greenville so much. My wife and I are moving to Central SC from Virginia next year after I retire. We visited Greenville for the first time in March and I told my wife that we will be spending a lot of time here when we move. I even told her that Greenville is so beautiful that I couldn't believe it hadn't made some kind of best list and then I saw this and I wasn't surprised. I loved walking around downtown and we especially loved Falls Park.

Anyone know hiway 78 landon sc is

The reason people are moving there is because MrBeast is based there and he keeps hiring people. Also it’s a college town so

Wait a 7 - 8 min drive to a grocery store? Seriously? I'm at least a 1/2 hr away right now. That's a luxury.

Here in kershaw co we just put a zoning bill in place aiming directly at these subdivisions. Now you have to have at least a half of acre lot for a home. So now they cant pile them so near each other. And also no buiding in already dense areas.

Does Greenville have many people from NJ and NY?

Surely you have all those horrible spiders in SC too? 😳

It’s beautiful here. So much to do. I live in Simpsonville and I love it.

That was a wonderful video presentation. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. 😊

Living in Greenville is wonderful. The interstates are very easy to get to. The traffic can be a little rough at times. The taxes are not that bad especially if you have moved here from a much larger city .
