Land Hungry, But where or WHERE to buy??

Hi there - I've done the NY to SC thing - and although at first it's a bit of a bit of a change, you're really going from NY to super rural in some of the areas that you had mentioned, if considering the Charleston area, Johns Island has land for sale - you would be spending about $200k for an acre or so - but the biggest consideration, at first, is to understand your lifestyle and base your choice of property around that. Would it be important for you to be within 30 minutes of a beach or any nightlife? Do you like neighborhoods where you will be close to other neighbors and socializing? To live in a subdivision or not? School systems? I would definitely say that Bklyn/LI/Miami route that you are pretty used to having prople around - and although it is your point to "de-congest" (new word?) - you also don't want to alienate yourselves tooooo much! Budget per acres would also narrow things down....there's a lot of great 3-5 acre spots, but like I said - your lifestyle should very much be taken into consideration as well. Then, book at trip down with a realtor who can assist you in different options to consider!

It is beautiful here and I've never regretted the decision to move for a minute, I live in MtP, close to the beach and I personally like being close to "everything", but I can certainly appreciate having a lot of land and privacy!

Hi, we moved a couple years ago to SC from Punta Gorda after Hurricane Charlie said hello, actually we got so we couldn't handle the heat. We have looked all over the state of SC so maybe i can be of some help. We would up on lake Greenwood and are connected with Grand Harbor. They have a website you can look at, Grand Harbor Group :: Lake Greenwood :: Greenwood South Carolina :: Grand Harbor Group otherwise contact me directly, be glad to help. Greeenville is nice newer area but has ice storms on occasion in the winter.

I guess I set myself up for that one, but thats the beauty of being anonymous, I can feel slighted invisibly.......And you're right, I need to educate myself on the area so when someone such as yourself reads my posts I will be more qualified to know what is and isnt available..

Your welcome! I just know how expensive college is.... Have fun in your search.
