I have just pulled an unexpected job switch due to a nice size pay raise I was offered, but I have to relocate from Portland, Me to the Charleston area.(Been dying to get back since I left) I have lived in Charleston priviously about 4 years ago in Mt. Pleasant.
The problem is my wife & I need to find a place & we will be doing it sight unseen. We could just go back to the complex we lived before, but I'd rather not to do that....so....
We have found what appears to be a very nice condo for rent in the Bohicket Marina on Seabrook Isle. The owner is only asking for a refundable deposit, no lease signing until we get there in 3 weeks. They are that confident we will love the place. They sent us tons of photos & the place looks awesome.
Now I am not to fimiliar w/ Seabrook Isle...any information would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know of these condo's or just this area in general?
How about the commute to St. Francis from there. I will be working in a medical building right next to the hospital.
Any & all information that you guys can give me on anything from the general to the specific, I will be extremely thankful for....
I'm thinking it's going to take about an hour each way to make that 24 miles.
Unless you work the backshift, which means you will go against the traffic...

Ugh. Not what I wanted to hear. I was hoping for 40 mins maximum.
No way will it take an hour...I live out that way and I would say 35-40 minutes at the most! You will not encounter much traffic on Betsy Kerrison/ Bohicket which turns into Main Rd., then you cross Savannah Hwy and turn right on Bees Ferry Rd. to Glenn McConnell Blvd which goes straight to St. Francis Hospital. The traffic on Glenn McConnell gets heavy between 7:30 and 8:00 mostly, but it moves pretty quickly (you won't just be sitting there in traffic). Again, I would say 40 minutes tops.
Not to mention that it is a very pretty, pleasant drive from Seabrook...which is a beautiful gated island with clean beaches, pools, golf, tennis, and horseback riding.
Those condos are fantastic. They are on the 'bay' side of Seabrook & they are outside the gates. Check on whether or not you need to get a social membership to use the facilities. You are about 1/2 mile from a high end grocery store.
The commute is 30 minutes and it's pretty to boot. The median age is there due to retirees & investment properties. There are people your age, but not a ton of them. Personally, I wouldn't care, you're in paradise down by Kiawah.

I think you will be bored to death out there at your young age - I just came from Kiawah with a client in her 40's and although the area is beautiful, and she is an avid golfer, the lack of restaurants and younger people to do stuff with turned her off....she can always drive to golf Kiawah - but living in a more developed area for activities was important to her.
