[QUOTE="donna723, post: 599165, member: 1883"] My daughter, sister in law and grandson live in Summerville, SC, a suburb of Charleston, and I have fallen in love with that area. The city of Charleston has so much character and tradition, so much history everywhere you look, beautiful old architecture, wonderful restaurants and shopping. Right in Charleston, property is pretty expensive and even more so the closer you get to the historic district. But in the suburbs and "bedroom communities" ... not so bad. My daughter and sister in law both work in Charleston, not a bad drive at all from their house. And right in their community they have everything they need, lots of nice shopping areas, pretty parks and good schools. It does get hot there in the summer but not oppressively hot, and it does get cold in the winters but it only rarely goes below freezing at night. I've visited there often and from what I've seen, prices on things like gas and groceries there are just about the same as they are here in middle Tennessee where I live, not nearly as bad as some other areas. My sister in law was born and raised there and from what I've seen, the people are all so nice and very friendly. I absolutely love Charleston and wouldn't mind moving there some day. But I have the old dilema of having one kid here who would never move and one kid there who would never want to move back here! [/QUOTE]
