This is a great informative video! Thank you!

[@livingingvl]

You are very welcome

[@zline-sp2fs]

Where are you from up north? I'm in NJ, visited Greenville the past couple of years, fell in love with the area, especially Greer and Taylors.

[@livingingvl]

I’m from Maryland. :)

[@zline-sp2fs]

@@livingingvl What made you want to move to the Greenville area? And how has the transition been? I'm 40 in less than a year and I would love to be down there by that time.

[@subie38x]

The wife and I are heading to SC to be closer to family and to live in a free state. We will be working in the Greenville area. Looking at the surrounding towns to live in. Like Liberty, TR and such.

[@livingingvl]

@@subie38x We would love to help you find the best area for you and your family. Send me a text 864-412-6225 and we can set up a strategy session to help you hit your goals :)

[@rocker8692]

Its overcrowded, stop telling people to move there.

[@livingingvl]

I know to some people it feels that way but to many many people it has so much more growth coming. The goal of my videos is to share what our area is and has to offer to help make people who love it the way we do move here.

[@midlife_minimalist]

How coincidental, grew up in NOVA, currently live in Jax area (PVB) and have been looking at Greenville for possible move for early retirement - tired of hurricanes, no change of seasons, no topography, drastic increase in cost of living. Just struggle with that 6% income tax and I don’t have same thoughts on personal property tax and cars. There are other things that give me pause.

Informative , good delivery , but you need to add some video or pictures.

[@Ddevore489]

What part of Jacksonville?

[@livingingvl]

I lived in Orange Park and in Harbor Island so more in Clay county than Duuuuuuval. I worked in Duval. My niece still lives there and we go back often :)

[@Ariana0999]

Team Dukes!!! 💯😄

[@glennakendall6155]

We don’t need anymore people moving here! It’s too crowded. 😬

[@irenefranz4175]

No it’s not.

[@Mich-tr4bt]

Moved to Greer last year from Ohio. I somehow grew to love Dukes while living here. I still hate sweet tea though 🤣

[@livingingvl]

Hahaha at hating sweet tea !!! Welcome to the upstate !

[@willis5605]

It ain’t mayonnaise if it ain’t Duke’s

[@livingingvl]

@@willis5605 lol

[@scolter4273]

.....Or Hellmanns. I am from New Jersey and DETEST the taste of Miracle Whip. Yuck!!!

[@livingingvl]

@@scolter4273 we love Hellman’s in our family too.

Education is poor here. Lots of original people from the area don’t like anyone not from here. Roads are horrible despite regular tax increases to fix the roads. There is generally a lot of random trash along the road that people toss out their car windows. Lots of low quality construction going on in residential. There are three words many people here do not know how to say. “I don’t know “. They will just ramble on and take up your time saying nothing. Just say hey I don’t know and let me find someone who does 😊. Terry

[@livingingvl]

Everyone has their right to their opinion. I ll say I’m sorry you feel that way. The school system has been great for both of our children. One is gifted and one is not. They both thrived. The roads definitely do need to be fixed and they are working on that. Infrastructure takes time and it’s costly so that is why the taxes go up to fix them. I will agree some people do not love people moving here but that will happen where ever you move. Living here 20 plus years I can say over all most people are kind. Different price points in residential do reflect what you said and then others are phenomenal. All in all we can agree to disagree.

[@ForestToFarm]

@@livingingvl I have been here over 40 years. Its not opinion its fact ha ha. I worked in the residential construction as a State Electrical Contractor for most of my adult life. High end homes mostly. There are some excellent contractors but its not the norm its few and far between. I am pretty picky but I hold myself to the same standards. They have been raising taxes and "going" to fix the roads for decades yet it never happens. I did watch a City paid project go on for months and months where they moved the same pile of dirt from one end of that area to the other every day for months. It was a multi million dollar project. My son went to one of the better schools here. He thrived. It was easy for him. It does not change the fact that the education system here is below most of the country. Its easy to thrive in an environment with low standards if you apply yourself. I am not trying to be ugly but I see so many times where people try to attract other people to move here but don't give all the facts. My son and I do work for the county Sheriffs Department from time to time. Crime is bad here. Some of the worst in the nation but I never see anyone tell that when they are trying to get people to move here. :)

[@50brownc]

Where is the crime mostly?

[@NewsMediaOutletsSuck]

@@50browncAll over. I reside in Greer and caught on camera 4 thieves trying to break into my car and my neighbor’s cars in the middle of the night. The cops don’t do anything about it. I called them and offered the video I had of the criminals and no one ever contacted me back. The criminals hit at least 11 other neighborhoods. I’m from S. Florida and felt safer there because we had gated communities. Wish I never moved here.

[@lawrencefeldman462]

It's a lot of trash all over the place. They just throw it out the window and if makes the truck bed great take to the dump, if not the prisoners will pick it up on the chain gangs. South Carolina 😮

[@sharymyny6454]

I don't like it make me sick your words 😊
