South Carolina: Visit for a week, stay for a lifetime

When most people talk about South Carolina, they are talking about either travel or relocation. The state is known for its tourism and there are lots of cities built around that idea. When you look on a map, you will see that South Carolina has beach communities to the far east, a lively center of the state with history and lakes, and a growing upstate that is not too far from the mountains. Most of the events and attractions in South Carolina can be found around the large cities of Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Greenville, along with the best hotels and restaurants, too.

One of the things that sets South Carolina apart from much of the country is its relatively low cost of living. People can afford large homes on lots of land in South Carolina for prices less than what a person might pay for a 3-bedroom apartment in a major city. There are many schools, both public and private, to service the needs of kids. Right now, the South Carolina economy is struggling a bit, unemployment rates are up somewhat, especially in many of the rural areas. The major cities aren't struggling as much, but people in outlaying areas are having some trouble.
