I know there are more than 6 reasons that make South Carolina a special place to live, but I thought I’d start here. If you ever want more reasons on why you should choose South Carolina to call home then please reach out to The Linda Hall Team. Anyone of us would be thrilled to give you all the information you need to make the jump to living here.
1. The natural outdoor beauty. South Carolina is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. From the lakes to the forests to the pastures which all provide outdoor opportunities from hiking, canoeing, fishing, and even horseback riding. In our area you must check out Anne Springs Close Greenway which has approximately 2,300 acres for you to explore. Also, don’t miss nearby Lake Wylie which is a 12,455-acre man-made lake. If water is your thing, then Lake Wylie is the place for you!
2. Your money goes further here. In South Carolina your social security benefits are not taxed and your property taxes are about the lowest in the country. Also, gas taxes are low which means the costs of your transportation is more affordable. If you’re retired, then all of this will help stretch your income.
3. Climate. The climate in South Carolina is very pleasing for many. The northerners who relocate here especially appreciate it. If it gets too hot for you in the Summer, then head for the mountains or the beaches. If you prefer mild winters then this is definitely the place for you.
4. Arts and Culture. Don’t think if you currently live in a big city that you will lose your connection to arts and culture. South Carolina is rich in that department with many film festivals, world-class restaurants, art galleries, concerts and the list goes on and on.
5. Health Care. South Carolina has some of the best health care facilities you will find. The Carolinas Medical Center part of Atrium Health, which is located in Charlotte was named the best facility in the region on a U.S. News & World Report list.
6. Seafood. We have GREAT seafood in this State! Calling all seafood lovers. I’m not kidding either. Come for a visit and just ask for the best seafood in the area you stay. The locals will tell you!! Just off the top of my head I’d recommend Saltwater Markets which is actually a grocery store over a restaurant, but it is hands down the best in our area! Tell them Linda Hall sent you!
