Boiling Springs one of the best places in the coun - 2/24/2011

Boiling Springs is one of the safest places in the USA, it has no crime like a big city has, and Boiling Springs has the best schools in the upstate. Also there are plenty of jobs here in South Carolina you have the BMW plant only 15 miles from Boiling Springs that pay well, and the people are wonderful true southern hospitality.

Great area 4 years ago but not for long and about - 4/9/2010

Hello My name is lamont from the north and I have lived in Boiling Springs for four years now and it has been quite when I first moved here. I liked the area for a while and it has been growing, the traffic here is getting heavier and the people are changing fast. Boiling Springs used to be so quite until it started to become like a getto, there are a lot of young guys with boom boxes. The people here are okay but not too friendly, the weather is great and the food is great but there is a problem if you love new vehicles you will be warned because there is a tax called property tax on vehicles. You see in most northern states there aren't a tax on cars but in South Carolina there is when you first move here and change your tag be pepared to pay a car tax before you get your tag. If you buy a new vehicle or 2 to 3 years older you will pay $500.00 and up to get your new tag on your vehicle. This area is 72 miles from charlotte North carlonia and 160 miles from Atlanta Ga and 265 miles from Myrtle Beach and 210 miles from Charleston, the people here are phony nice if you like actors and actresses,like one day the people here will speak and the next day you will be like a ghost to them, some of the people will stare at you like they are going to speak but if you say hello your just wasting energy they will not speak back. If you think the north is bad you should rent a place here for a year and see how it is sometimes people say it's the northerners that move to the south not really this part of the south lost it's southern hospitality they have bad attitudes and are very bossy and rude.[read more...]

Great People! - 9/20/2007

My wife and I found Boiling Springs by accident while looking for a second home. Everyone that we have met has been extremely pleasant and they make us feel right at home. The area is very affordable and convenient to everything. It takes less than an hour to get to Ashville, NC and is only three hours to Charleston. You will find that many of the people living in Boiling Springs are former Big City dwellers from the northeast and the south but they are just as friendly as the locals, and moved to get away from big city problems. Spartanburg is our neighbor and is not a bad place at all (in spite of what others have posted). I suppose if you have never been to a true large and crime ridden city, straying from the surrounding utopian areas into the dinky little city of Spartanburg might scare the uncultured innocent, but for anyone who actually travels and has seen or lived in true big cities, Spartanburg seems pretty quaint.
