A year and a half ago, I moved to South Carolina from Northern California. Yeah, the weather out west tends to be more even and less changeable, but the weather is NOT as bad as I thought. The cost of living is MUCH less expensive than California. The people here are nice, friendly and polite, which I appreciate. If you come here, be open minded and have a good heart. You'll to OK.
@@airfiero4772 I hear ya….California needs a wall around it . Funny how Pelosi’s district is one of the worst ones in the entire state of California funny how that works huh?
Great video! I had no idea about the state tax though. 7% after for every dollar after $15,000 is a lot of money every year, but the trade-off is southern hospitality and at least when you’re 65 the state and proper tax ends !
Any rough estimate, or idea, on how much a brand new (2023) $32000 vehicle would be a year in the Greenville area based on annual/yearly property tax? Thanks in advance! 😊
Moved from Pompano Beach, Fla in 2021 where we lived for 38 years. Florida got way too expensive for the working class and way crowded including all the bad things that seem to be common everywhere. We were lucky to find a very nice home in Darlington a lot cheaper and bigger than the one we sold in Florida. Also since most people are locals for generations seem to be a lot nicer than the people in Florida where everybody was from somewhere else, including myself.
ive been looking at fl. since 2019 but gave up . housing market and homeowners ins have just exploded along with population. was looking near hudson gulf side. i would imagine that traffic has exploded too. not as affordable as it was just few years ago. with the new fema laws everything seems to be a flood zone unless your in middle of the state.
I'm a New Yorker considering moving south. South Carolina was one of my choices. I am retired and disabled senior citizen and Veteran looking for horse country. And I am looking for a motorcycle friendly location. Are we talking apartments, houses, mobile homes. Whatever is affordable. What prices can I expect?
First, thank you for your service! And thank you for watching, I love that you’re thinking about a move. Our team would love to help narrow down some locations and ideas for you. South Carolina has so much to offer, the prices and home styles vary depending on location. Send us an email at info@livinginsc.com ☺️ -Lindsey
so the property taxes are much cheaper BUT ! if you own vehicles each car/truck depending on its value would be accessed as property tax . ( there parked on your property driveway) Always a sneaky catch!
As someone from Florida, whose ancestors are from South Carolina.. These states are getting way too over crowded and it's ruining what was ONCE attractive about these states 😓
Very cool to hear your ancestors are from SC! The population growth is bittersweet for sure. The positive outcome is the suburbs of the popular areas are growing, which is great for their small town economy. Of course with growth comes challenges too. Luckily our team helps clients with their real estate goals no matter where they live in the U.S.
Love your videos. We are moving to Greenwood SC from Michigan in May. Any recommendations on where to work? My husband and I are retired but we are raising our grand daughter. Any advice would be helpful.
This is based on an average temperature. The heat index is a whole different story because that is what makes the height of the summer so awful if you plan to spend time outside.
I’m a little nervous, since I’ve always lived in LA and the city side but I might move to South Carolina so I’m a little worried it might be too different and hard to adjust
That’s so exciting!! I (Lindsey) went to college in Conway and love the area. If you have any questions or need help as your prepare for your move, our team would love to help. We even have connections in Hawaii!! 😎
@@livinginsouthcarolina that's really cool Conway looks like a really great historic City to live and the prices are really reasonable compared to here you get way more bang for your buck I'm really looking forward to it I'll be moving with our 9 rescue animals my mom and I are tired of doing the 3-hour commute from work to home and so ready for a better change of scenery more stuff for me to do I appreciate you wanting to help but we're going to use our realtor to sell our house here and really looking forward to start living the South Carolina life and being around more friendly people the Aloha Spirit has been going downhill and evern the restaurants are just terrible overpriced tourist traps especially on Kailua Kona side of the Big Island there's a few that we like and customer service these days are just crusty with no aloha.looking forward to exploring Conway and Myrtle Beach and take nice road trips to explore around the Carolinas
Mark my words - this greed involving developers and realtors is shortsighted and asinine! And the powers that be pulling the strings at town hall should be ashamed of themselves for the harm they are perpetrating on their citizens and the forever destruction of many of these once unique and quaint communities. And when it all comes down like a house of cards (pun intended) it will crash with a thud! And who will pay the price - yes, who will be left holding the bag? Generations of locals - that's who!! Growth is fine but when houses are stacked together like cord-wood how can one not expect overpopulation and insane traffic just to name two of many negatives that will befall many. A minimum of 1-3 acres per house naturally controls growth in the short term and long run and gives people their space. If all those involved in fueling this feeding frenzy had enough brains and common sense to fill a thimble their heads would explode! The locals must be pulling their hair out over all this shortsightedness as the greedmiesters laugh all the way to the bank while the once very special quaint communities are molested for the almighty dollar!! Such a shame that common sense is no longer common at all. I have been researching a retirement move to South Carolina for my wife and I for years now. But the patterns are clear - the writing is on the wall. I will not subject us to the cost and stress of a move to this once very special state to have our life unravel due to the greedy incompetent management of the powers that be in this state. It also appears that Liberalism has landed here. And planting its deep roots in this state is evidenced in part by a huge focus on the arts. I'll be damned if I will put us through the costly motions of a move from one Liberal cesspool only to arrive at our new home to discover that the tentacles of Liberalism is alive and well in our new home state. I am not wasting any more valuable time on relocation research as of this moment. Come Jesus - Come!
Man..FL girl .nothing unusual Environmental Services suck.. Don't move here if you need any help with anything other than a ready-made house and ready mail everything you'll be in for a Chalk I just deleted medical because it actually pretends every single aspect you will be waiting at least 3 months remarkable doctor appointment oh my God don't go insane whatever you do....
We love knowing you love it here!! We do too 😎 We also know SC isn’t for everyone, so topics like this can be helpful for those wanting to dive deeper.
This is about average temperatures. The heat index and humidity levels are what make the worst part of the summer so bad. Just plan accordingly to have a place to cool down if needed!

The BEST State period.
We think so too!! 😎 thanks so much for tuning in!
BS
@@Hebrewson72 I love that abbreviation for “Best State”
,@@livinginsouthcarolina I'm sorry the abbreviation is Backwood State.

Only 90 degree temperatures in the summer????as someone born and raised here that's bs In south Carolina you would be LUCKY of it was ONLY in the 90s

Oh look we have a live one.
My advice: don’t it sucks 😊
If you don't support our constitution or 2A, don't move here!!!!
agree! leave your political bs viewpoints back in NYC or homeless state of Cal.
I'm going to be moving to Conway and I'll be moving from Hawaii
You'll get to experience a change of seasons without the snow.

I moved to South Carolina because it was the only place I could afford a mansion. I love it here.
Will SC tax my federal disability pension?
Yes
thats not true Federal tax is exempt from disability , state however may not be that varies.
