10 Best South Carolina Cities to Call Home.

10 Best South Carolina Cities to Call Home.
In this video, we will be looking at the 10 statistically best cities in South Carolina to live in. South Carolina has some great cities like Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Greenville. But statistically speaking the cities on this list would be the best. If you are surprised about one of these cities are on the list or one that isn't we would love to hear about it in the comment section.
South Carolina is an amazing state that I think is often overlooked as a good option for relocation.
This series is about the Best Cities to live, in the United States. We will be uploading 1 a week until we run out of states. I hope you enjoy the series.

I’ve been diligently working and saving and contributing towards financial freedom and early retirement, but the economy so far since the pandemic has eaten away most of my portfolio, what I want to know is this: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets or do I look into alternative sectors.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

Just try diversifying your portfolio to other market sectors, that way your investment is balanced and you don’t get to make so much losses.

[@FinnBraylon]

I think stocks will plummet further before actually experiencing steady growth and there are still quite a few stocks that makes for a good buy this season, you just have to do your research, but to be on the safer side and not second guess your market decisions, I’d suggest you reach out to a proper investment manager for guidance, they’re better equipped at understanding market patterns/movements and adjusting portfolio to match up with these market trends.

[@HildaBennet]

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular manager?

I think Summerville has some good sites and stores by Knightsville, Lincolnville, and downtown. Just by the Newton area by Lowe’s gets a little crowded but it’s still a nice place to live. I would rate it a 8/10 just because of the Nexton area being crowded and stinky.

The only thing that bothers me about Columbia everything is slow meaning slow to change or adapt to get new things (entertainment, different stores, etc) and ideas. You can tell McMasters does not want to change anything. Very old way of thinking and it can get boring. Yuk if you are young and want something exciting I would not recommend Columbia. If you are coasting like in your retirement years, I would recommend. I love Charleston BTW!

Taxes are pretty high in some areas. Some of the areas on this list are good places but they are becoming very congested with the new neighborhoods popping up on every corner. So do your research ask locals before you decide coming here. Also if your looking for entertainment some of the areas don’t have much so if you like the mid paced lifestyle it’s right for you.

Crime is horrible in Aiken.

[@sunwhipped]

I seriously thought about retiring in Aiken until I found the Savannah River Site.

[@noone.1509]

@@Atricks861 it is not. I literally live in Aiken and crime isn't bad. Aiken is the best town SC has to offer. Sure it has its ups and downs but overall great place.

Do a part 2 of this and do Akien and Graniteville.

My mother lives in Graniteville. She wants me to move down there. I'm not sure yet. 🤔

[@tatyanapopescu7909]

moved from PDX to Greenville SC, love it

[@jdhjimbo]

PDX used to be a great city until Antifa, Weenie Wheeler and Dopey Brown trashed it. I lived in Seattle 5 years, and one in Lake Oswego, right on the Willamette. I enjoyed it then, but likely NOT now. You will like the sun and milder weather, other than the heart of summer, where the Rose City was more pleasant than Southern heat & humidity.

Mt. Pleasant population is more like 90,000 and growth is nuts (as is traffic) Great parks, schools, close to the beach

[@eloisecoppler8228]

You are right, rich people now think they own the beach, parking meters, rules on renting 3 days for a beach wedding. It was beautiful once … no open beaches unless you are rich…

[@rustbucket1728]

Retired to "West" Anderson from "Park Circle" North Charleston. Nice house with some land and great neighbors. I do not miss the traffic. I REALLY REALLY miss the restaurants.

I lived in Mauldin for years and never was I like this is a good place to live. Five forks however I have lived there as well for about 2 years and wow it’s perfect great food really close by and the people are so nice.

[@ThePawsitiveMind-onFacebook]

I live in Bluffton. I can see Hilton Head Island when I take my dogs for a walk. Can't get closer to the island than actually living on the island where I am. Right before the bridge on the back road that the tourists found out.

For any rich folks watching this please don’t move here this massive influx of people moving here is causing tremendous traffic and now they are forced to update the infrastructure causing more delays and traffic

I live in a town called Moncks Corner outside of Charleston Sc. I try to avoid as many places involving the Charleston area as much as possible.

[@mariebrandon91]

Ok, Savannah, ga here, go to SC and NC a lot! Never heard of maudlin, will check it out.😀

[@justamemphisgirl]

It’s a suburb of Greenville but we live in Simpsonville which borders it and to me Simpsonville is just as nice if not better. It’s where Five Forks is also, the other area mentioned which isn’t a city.

[@corallewis3788]

Mauldin?? What else is out there we don't know about? 🤣 Ty B

[@RosalindGash]

The funny thing about Mauldin is that it's so close to Greenville that there's a Mauldin Road that you can get on in Greenville and be in Mauldin proper within 10 minutes. Mauldin is its own city, but because it's so close to Greenville native residents just treat it like it's Greenville to the chagrin of Mauldin residents, LOL. 😂

Which of the 3 would you recommend for someone who is artistically inspired and like the idea of tranquility?

[@MurderHornet2020]

LOL! I just moved out of Hanahan a few months ago. It's growing too quickly and becoming congested. But yea, everything you mentioned about it is why I moved there initially.

[@1776SOL]

Northerns moving to FL then to SC or NC is totally a thing. They're affectionately known as Halfbacks. The Charlotte metro is awash with them as well as retirees moving directly to Carolinas. So much so there are two Del Webb Sun City communities within unincorporated Fort Mill Twp, one of them is 2.36sqmi over twice the size of the towns I grewup in up in NJ. Lived in Fort Mill, SC from 2007-2020, it's a beautiful, friendly, & largely safe community with most major crime issues being related to spillover from Charlotte. We'd still be living there if a job opportunity hadn't presented itself to allow us to move to the beach. Now we're enjoying the beautiful South Carolina coastal life.

[@ericcarter4126]

Wish these northern go back home! We don't like their political view in our state! They screw up their state! But don't want to fix the problems they created! So if you are a Liberal Northern go home!

[@Armoless]

Pretty much the same thing for my family, we just moved to Pawleys from the Furman area of Greenville, That little spot between Berea and Travelers Rest. Beach life is so much nicer once you find a quiet section away from MB proper.

[@thisizdub]

I'll admit as a person living in NYC lots of us have had enough so we'd obviously look for a place the opposite quiet and peaceful
