Current Resident: Tega Cay is a growing suburb, definitely. It has its ups and downs, being a busy area in terms of traffic as well as a lack of diversity. The area is made up of mostly white, middle-class families. On a positive note, it is full of great public schools and is generally safe and good for families. It is in a good location for work as it is close to the rest of Fort Mill as well as the Charlotte area.Read 18 Reviews
Current Resident: Cowpens is a small town that is very friendly. Cowpens is a great area to raise a family. We have great schools and its a historic town. There is a lot of history to the town, as the town played a huge role in the Revolutionary War.Read 1 Reviews
Current Resident: The Isle of Palms is a beautiful beach front location with a tight knit community of residents. I love the openness and trusting nature of each resident. The beauty of the island is clearly contagious to all of its inhabitants who are the most beautiful people on the inside and out who would do anything to help one another. I have worked the election polls for the past three elections conducted for city hall, the primary, and general elections. Although political opinions differ, the people all enter the polls and have nothing but amazing and inspiring attitudes towards one another. I love diversity and if I could see anything change on my beautiful island it would be to expand the demographic. I think the most successful communities are those of different backgrounds, upbringings, religions, and races. This would make by beautiful home just a little bit more perfect for me.Read 2 Reviews
Current Resident: LIBERTY IS A SMALL TOWN, of approximately 4000 residents. Small town with great character. Hometown where you can interact with people. Walking around town and chatting with the people.Read 5 Reviews
Nearby Resident: Most of the people in Mount Pleasant are very nice! There are plenty of places to shop and eat. You can also visit Boone Hall Plantation, which is a very lovely place. However, there are certain places in Mount Pleasant that need more parking spaces.Read 84 Reviews
Current Resident: Chapin is a small community centered around Lake Murray. The town is very small, with a few restaurants. There are several fast food eateries as well as grocery stores. We have a few local retailers in town, but no large retailers currently. I like the fact that the town is small and everyone is friendly. Schools are top rated, homes here are beautiful...nice environment, especially for families. Centrally located so you are close to interstate and can be in Charlotte within 1hr, Myrtle Beach within 3hrs or Columbia within 30 minutes. The town is currently experiencing a growth which is great! Plans include more housing and retailers. Would love to have larger retailers in the area instead of going to Columbia for everything.Read 10 Reviews

Niche User: I've lived here for practically my whole life. My brothers and I have forged many great memories and relationships in the surrounding neighborhood. It's peaceful and quite. The perfect place for a family.Read 6 Reviews
Current Resident: I've lived in Fountain Inn South Carolina almost my entire life. Growing up there until now I've seen this city grow in so many ways! Fountain Inn has always been one that has been very welcoming, no matter age, race, or religion. The citizens are always willing to help no matter the circumstances. If one has children, there are always activities that they can join such as recreational activities, children's bible study at different churches, and also pageants and parades. Main Street Fountain Inn is growing each and everyday. New boutiques and restaurants are taking their places in the city. So, if one gets the opportunity, make Fountain Inn a stop for the family!Read 20 Reviews
Current Resident: Duncan is a very nice town with lots of diversity from an ethnic point of view to a moral point of view. Everywhere you go, you'll always be treated fairly whether it's a fast-food restaurant or grocery store. The people in Duncan, SC are overall nice people. They treat others (whether or not who they are) with the same respect as they give others. Though there isn't much to do at night, there is always something to do in Duncan throughout the day.Read 9 Reviews
Current Resident: I have moved from Hopkinsville, KY to Clover, SC. At first, it was hard to adjust especially being a new mom and barely anyone I know here except for my darling husband. I have to say, I am a huge Gilmore Girls fan so anyone who is a fan strives to find a town such as Stars Hollow; well, Clover is my Stars Hollow. It has such an amazing feeling all throughout the seasons and a welcoming feel that will embrace you deeply! I love it here and would never want to live anywhere else!Read 36 Reviews
Current Resident: I love how my city is a small but is filled with all great types of people. Most of the people I have intrigued my self with has been very generous and thoughtful. I like how we have a few restaurants and a couple gas stations in my town, but it is not to crowded.Read 3 Reviews
Current Resident: Wellford SC is a pleasant place to raise children. Neighbors are friendly and the School District is very academically challenged. The only thing I would change would be a new library because the one in the city is to small.Read 3 Reviews
Current Resident: I've lived here in Fort Mill for the majority of my life, 17 years. There is always something to do here, whether it be going to the Carowinds theme park, getting out on Lake Wylie, traveling into Charlotte, or more! The school system is very good, one of the best in South Carolina. The only con about living here is that traffic can be a problem at rush hour, both in Fort Mill and on the commute to Charlotte, but that's not something completely uncommon to any other town or city.Read 60 Reviews
Current Resident: Lexington County has some of the best! Schools your child can attend. As well as many job opportunities and openings all around the Lexington area. There is also May after school day-cares for parents that work late. I can pretty much walk anywhere in Lexington and not have a fear in the world because of top notch police officials, and patrols. Very safe and would recommend living here to anyone I can across that isn’t already!Read 73 Reviews
Niche User: Very safe area to live in.Read 2 Reviews
Current Resident: I have lived here my whole life. It’s a great community to raise a family. We are a small town but with lots of fun things to do and see. My favorite, the Greenway. It’s a path that goes all around our city made for walker, runners, biking and more. You’ll walk right next to the beautiful Savannah river!Read 58 Reviews
Current Resident: Folly Beach is a beautiful area with welcoming people. The scenery is gorgeous, the beach is clean and plastic-free, and the dining options are varied to meet most tastes and budgets. Traffic in the summer months is horrendous, no joke. I would advise tourists to try visiting one of the MANY other beaches available throughout the lowcountry during these months when traffic to Folly is at a standstill... it's a great beach but I'm not sure that it's quite THAT good, haha!Read 5 Reviews
Current Resident: One of the fastest growing cities in South Carolina is Bluffton. The location of Bluffton is very convenient since it is between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, Georgia. They are both only 20 minutes away. As far as doing activities outdoors, The May River in Bluffton is a very peaceful place to do water sport activities. There are many things to do and places to see. Such as going to the Farmers Market on Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to about 5:00p.m. Great place to get the freshest organic produce. They also have live music! Bluffton offers a delightful selection on places to eat and drink. It is a wonderful place to visit and live at.Read 47 Reviews
Current Resident: Mauldin is a quaint but active southern city that has many restaurants, parks, and museums. It's a city filled with history but many fast-growing businesses and technologies. It's not too big and not too small and perfect for retirement or for raising a family.Read 73 Reviews
Former Resident: Williamston is a small town where everyone knows what's going on, who is in trouble, who filled the open position at the local diner. The schools actuactually take the time to help the students learn. They want to see you succeed. Williamston has come a long way over the years, but it is still just a small town where the sidewalks roll up at 9:00pm. Their really isn't anything fancy about Williamston other than the Spring Water Festival. If you enjoy a small town setting this is a great place to look.Read 5 Reviews
Current Resident: I love this wonderful town! The people are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home, no matter where you are from. I moved here at the end of 2001 and this is now my home. From the beautiful mountains to the lakes, there are hiking trails and wonderful fishing wholes. I feel like I live in a place where there is always a new adventure.Read 36 Reviews
