I stayed at EconoLodge and found the house I've been looking at was just a mile down the road in Sangaree. But since I can't buy until next summer, it probably won't still be for sale.
Anyway, I liked the Sangaree subdivision.
What elementary/MS/HS do children there attend?
I also teach (elementary) and visited Summerville Elem, Flowertown and Newington. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I did not stop at the District Offices as there parking lot was filled up and I had no appointment and thought I might just be in the way. I was also not prepared should an "on the spot" interview come my way.
I drove a circle from Summerville to Goose Creek to Ladson, pretty easy. Every store imaginable between the 3 towns, plus a county fair coming up! Much more to do than where I live now in Upstate Ny.
I did not see a mall though; is there one closer to Charleston or in Charleston?
The closest mall up there is Northwoods Mall which is on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston...it is quite large and has any store you would/could need. There are lots of other shopping centers, restaurants, car dealerships, etc. on Rivers Ave. as well...including my favorite mega-size crafts store - Michaels.
The elem. school in Sangaree is Sangaree Elementary, then there is Sangaree Intermediate, then Sangaree Middle, then I think the high school would be Berkley High School. (I may be wrong about the h.s.)
Sangaree is a fast-growing community which has a lot of heavy traffic at times...but I have a nephew who is a police officer and lives up there with his wife and 2 sons and they seem happy there. The kids are very involved in Scouts and baseball and the whole family is very involved in their church...seems like a family-oriented community.
SCB, that is too funny because as I was driving around Sangaree- with absolutely no clue how those roads work- I went past a house with a police car in front and I said, "Well, if a cop likes living here, that's a good sign." Maybe that was your nephew.
I also liked your gas prices; I'm paying $3.25 up here.
I think Sangaree goes to the new high school now. I can not think of the name right now, but I have a friend who live in Cobblestone Ridge in Sangaree and she said her daughter would go to the new high school.
Also there is the Tanger Outlet Mall that is only about 20 min away that is great and Citidel Mall off of 526. It is about 30 minutes though. We live on the other side of Summerville and my children go to Spann and it is a great school!!
beckie1229, you're right about our gas prices..they are about the lowest in the country! I go down to FL about once a month to visit my grandson and I fill up before I leave here and then get just what I'll need to get back when I'm down there. We are definitely spoiled when it comes to gas prices.
Could have been my nephew.....as I said, they do a lot of things as a neighborhood and their boys have a lot of friends there too.
KCBmake3 is right about the new Tangier Outlet - it is great and has just about every brand store you can think of!
Sangaree is a nice area and you might look closely at Summerville too - good schools and nice neighborhoods to fit all income levels.
Yes, my problem is I've just fallen in love with a house on Beauregard St. in Sangaree.
At the edge of Sagaree off Royle Road (I used live.local.com or something like that-it's like google earth where I can see down from bird's eye view) It looks like there are two large complexes. One is obviously a school on Schoolhouse Lane...but south of it is a green roofed building- is that the new high school?
I was reading these posts you guys had up about Sangaree-
AND,
I am selling my house in Sangaree. It is located in Raintree at Sangaree. The development is only 2 years old, my house was built in 2005. The entire subdivision is only 25 homes and it is built on a cul-de-sac- so traffic going in and out is minimal.
We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1250 sq foot one story house. We put granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and we are the only home in the neighborhood w them.
Need to sell asap b/c we have to move due to my husband's job. Listing it on the market next week at $166,000
