Hi Don,
Get a copy of our South Carolina Guide, go to my Video Library and watch the videos on Charleston and the surrounding areas, then call me to pinpoint specific areas which would be good for you.
See You in the Carolinas,

We don't sell any real estate, so I can be totally unbiased in recommending places that I feel would best fit what people are looking for!
If you look to The Carolina Report, you'll find a lengthy posts all about Durham.

We are thinking about relocating to the Charlotte, NC area. Do you have any thoughts on Rock Hill, SC ? Or, should we stick in North Carolina?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
The answer to your question is it really depends on what's important to you. Each area has different qualities, services, and lifestyle.
Overall, I love the Charlotte area, especially all the wonderful small towns outside Charlotte. However if you go south of Charlotte to Rock Hill, Fort Mill, and Indian Land, you're in SC where the cost of living is a bit cheaper.

Any ideas or thoughts you could share on the location we are looking at.
