    Medical facilities are never mentioned in any of these towns. Good ones are VERY important to retirees. Also, most of these places are losing population. Why are folks moving away? There must be a reason.

      Agreed! SC has a long way to go in upgrading their Medical. It's Decades behind for the amount of Seniors they have. I know people who had issues while living in MB and they had to take them all the way to Charleston for a hospital to help them. Not good.

    All of these cities with the exception of Union, South Carolina have a higher than the US average crime rate😮
    It doesn’t matter how cheap a place is to live if you are likely to be a victim of crime.
    Just no!

    I'm 57, retired navy but still working. I have MS and am preparing for when I can no longer work. How is S.C. when it comes to taxes for retirees (military pensions) and available VA hospitals? My son lives in Cottageville and when we visit we stay in Summerville. We visited last July and the summer heat and humidity was brutal on my MS. Are any of these towns mentioned any better regarding heat and humidity? thank you for an informative video.

    • @RetirementLifeSouthCarolina
      @RetirementLifeSouthCarolina  4 місяці тому +1

      @deanlewis8083 First, Thank You for your service! I am sorry to hear about your situation. Regarding the taxes, S.C. does not tax military retirement income (pensions). Once you reach 65 yrs you can get even more tax relief from the state like a homestead exemption and over 65yo you can get an additional $15,000 deduction from your taxable income. Summerville is a great area, but typically the further you go inland (west) it tends to not get as hot and humid. Of the towns I mentioned in this video Laurens and Union are the furthest west. Hope this helps and thank you for watching my videos!

    Bennetsville sounds good, but you didn't include anything about crime statistics. When you are younger you can handle the ghetto but I don't want to spend my golden years in one.

    • @RetirementLifeSouthCarolina

      Yes it is. But as a real estate agent because of the Fair Housing Act, I can not speak to the crime rate as it can be interpreted as a statement or racist.

    When I see Down towns with very little driving and people on the sidewalks, with very low rents I think no, not for me. Must be crime central. And towns don't determine the price of rents or cost of housing, it's demand or in these cases no demand.

    • @RetirementLifeSouthCarolina
      @RetirementLifeSouthCarolina  2 місяці тому +2

      I understand your perspectives but not always the case. Supply and demand "the market" does drive the costs, so do jobs, location and where in life you are. You should check out my long form videos where I disclose cost of living and crime rates, you may be surprised.
