What would be a good place to live in south carolina?

Even with tourism, is Charleston, South Carolina a good place to live for a young couple?

• Answer:

  Sounds like you've already done a lot of homework. I would go for any place East of the Cooper. Of course Daniel Island is still what I would call new. There was nothing there when I moved to Charleston years ago. Heck it was all wilderness and you couldn't even get there without a 40 mile drive until the new highway was built. So East of the Cooper is where the better schools are. Check out the Windjammer on the front beach on the Isle of Palms (IOP). When I came to Charleston it was Art's Sea Side and it was the hottest club in Charleston (some would argue the Folly Pier). Oh well. :) I understand that for those in their 20s it still is. And most entertainment still takes place on the peninsula. Hockey up in N. Charleston, baseball out at 'the Joe' on the Ashley River, and all the clubs and restaurants downtown. For kids East of the Cooper - get them into dance groups, tennis, swimming clubs and there's still scouting. Take them to the beach on Sullivan's or the IOP. There's plenty to do with a young family. Look at all the outdoor stuff you can do with or without kids in the winter. Hey, we ain't talkin' Charleston West Virginia after all. So come on down. Charleston will be a great place to call home.
