• More housing options: Often more yards/space per home compared with denser metro areas.

Cons

• Fewer job options locally: Depending on your field, you may need to commute or work remotely.

• Limited entertainment/amenities: Fewer dining choices, events, and shopping options than larger cities.
• Heat and humidity: Summers can be hot and sticky; some people find it challenging.
• Weather and storm risk: Like much of SC, you may deal with hurricanes/tropical storms and heavy rain occasionally.
• Healthcare access may require travel: Specialty care and certain medical services may be farther away.
