Review of Greenville, South Carolina

Greenville, SC

- 1/6/2008
To Elizabeth in NY, My husband and I recently retired and will be relocating from Michigan. Can't wait to leave! After vacationing in Florida for many years and being so disappointed by the present situation down there, we have been considering other southern places. After many visits to Athens, Charleston, Raleigh, Charlotte, Ashville & a few others, Greenville keeps coming back to mind. The lack of real traffic and wonderful downtown area feels like a good fit. Being close to the mountains & ocean is great. On the down side, I hear the air quality isn't the best, don't know about health care since there isn't a major university and may lack in music & art not to mention the drive to a major airport. Charleston is great if you can stand the humidity and Raleigh definitely superior but cooler winters and more expensive. I have family ties in NC otherwise I'd probably go to San Antonio since I can't afford the west. Any and all suggestions are welcomed! Also, I have to believe Greenville is good for us gardeners.
