I'm relocating to the Charleston, SC area. Any advice on relocating? Any specific areas to look for housing in or areas to avoid?

Monks corner is a little cheaper area to buy a house with a small commute to Charleston.

Thank you for the tip. We haven't looked there yet. We've been mainly looking in Goose Creek, Hanahan, and North Charleston. We would love to find something in the Mt Pleasant area, but I think that's out of the question for right now.

Goose creek is also nice North Charleston is more of a high crime area though

If you're not from the south, get ready to learn about humidity.

Roger sir. I'm from Southern Missouri so humidity is nothing new to me.

SSG Toryn Green You still might be in for something of a shock. Missouri has humidity, but SC is downright wet. When I first moved to the south I thought everyone had leaky radiators - then realized it's just the condensation from the AC.
