Review of Pickens, South Carolina


Shhhh, don’t spoil it! What a breath of fresh air!
Star Rating - 7/4/2018
This is from a south Orange County, lifelong Southern California girl who knows what a beautiful environment is like. Well - South Carolina made So Cal seem like such a desert (and Laguna Beach is awesome) and with so many drawbacks in CA nowadays for pretty much everything, I certainly welcomed seeing there’s beauty and life someplace else. I went in late June. It wasn’t too humid (like Florida or NY) so it wasn’t much warmer than CA. Plus the people were another breath of fresh air... so real and nice. The property values are on the rise but still affordable. There’s all kinds of lakes and water and boating and trees - oh the trees! Mother Nature went big! Speaking of big... Pickens has a gigantic, swapmeet, at a place they call the jockey lot, on Wednesday mornings. People come from all over the surrounding states and areas to buy and sell there. It’s really something and made me feel like I pay about 1000 times too much for everything! I’ve only been there once but I’m already planning another trip and who knows? Possibilities are endless when it comes to South Carolina. Can’t say the same for So Cal for sure!
