You did an outstanding job of presenting the pros/cons of all of these suburbs. I truly appreciate your attention to details. Would it be possible for you to do a video on dog-friendly beaches and activities in the region? I will be relocating to South Carolina and recently had my professional license as a Child/Adolescent Clinical Trauma Therapist approved. Being near dog-friendly beaches and resources are one of my top priorities. Love your videos!

I have been here 10 years. I wish my husband woukd have told me about the traffic. I have never lived in a city of this size and population that only has ONE HIGHWAY! I understand one of the reasons is because it's on a peninsula. And for Charleston to be such a huge tourist destination, shopping and entertainment sucks here. No real mall. No zoo, waterpark, or amusement park. Music artist don't come here for concerts. And when they do, it's a week night. Parking downtown and at the beaches is the worst. But being just a few hours from ATL, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, Jacksonville, Orlando and Savannah means that zoos, shopping, concerts, and such are not too far away.

COULD YOU TELL US IF THERE ARE CDD FEES ON TOP OF THE HOA FESS AND WHICH ONES ARE THOSE ALONG WITH THEIR CURRENT PRICES OR COSTS.....
@LifeinCharlestonSouthCarolina 11 күн бұрын
We don't have CDD fees (or at least, don't call them that). There are usually 2 HOAs in these communities, one for the neighborhood and one for the master-planned community. There is usually a Captal Contribution fee paid one-time at closing that goes into a special fund, as well as transfer fees. There are also tax assessments in some districts vs. others, but it's paid as part of your property taxes.

I’ve lived in Summerville for 30 years. It’s a shadow of its former self. WAY too much traffic and congestion. Every time I turn around there’s another 30 acres of forest clear cut for another ugly monster apartment complex or overpriced housing development. The roads and schools can’t keep up with the unregulated growth. They’ll fine homeowners $5,000 for cutting down a tree… yet developers wipe out 100’s of acres of trees for another car wash, Dollar General, or storage facility.

I’m a native. Yes, please go somewhere else. Because of the influx of migrants from other states, traffic is now hideous, rents and housing prices are freaking offensive, the beaches are now too crowded to actually enjoy, and our historic downtown district has basically become a mall. Oh, and we’re NOT chopping down our centuries-old live oaks to widen the roads so you can get home 5 minutes earlier. So-go back to the northeast or Midwest if you prize convenience over nature and history-WE’RE FULL!

You failed to mention the incredibly high monthly fees at the Horizons. The horses may be affordable but the fees aren't!

The HOA fee is $259/month. That is comparable to all the other 55 communities in our area. It includes lawncare, the guard/gate, lifestyle director, and more.

I like the idea of living in a villa but 1,000 sq ft is too small. Yes, you can add a second floor but seniors don't want to be climbing stairs as they get older. The builder should have made the units larger (1,600 sq ft or so) with a single story.
@LifeinCharlestonSouthCarolina Ай бұрын
I can't say I disagree! This is generally the feedback I'm getting on these homes, but they are a great price and location, so they could still be perfect for the right person.

Property tax is county theft
@tracyforester9825 2 ай бұрын
It’s possible that South Carolina offers a property tax exemption for veterans who are 100% disabled. This exemption is applicable to the full fair market value of the primary residence of the veteran. To qualify, the disability must be service-related, and the veteran must be classified as totally and permanently disabled by the Department of Veterans Affairs. To apply for this exemption, the veteran needs to submit proof of their 100% disability rating from the Veterans Affairs office, along with any other required documents, to their local county tax assessor's office. It's a good idea to contact the local office for any specific requirements or procedures as these can vary by county.
@LifeinCharlestonSouthCarolina Ай бұрын
Thanks Tracy! And in SC, anyone who is over the age of 65, totally and permanently disabled, or legally blind could qualify for the Homestead Exemption (an exemption of taxes on the first $50,000 in Fair Market Value of your Legal Residence).
