Relocate to Walhalla from Lowcountry?
Hiya from the Lowcountry!
We are a growing family with a toddler and very much enjoy living in Charleston. However, the continuing increases in crime, traffic and cost of living have forced us to consider relocating upstate.
After several trips to Lake Keowee, we are considering building in a lakefront community, preferably in the Walhalla school district. It has always been our dream to be on deep water, which we will never in a million years be able to afford on the coast!
My husband works from home and can live anywhere in the Southeast, and I am a teacher, so we don't have to worry about employment. We are avid fishermen and love hiking, my husband is a hunting nut and general outdoorsy kind of guy, so the upstate is very appealing to us for recreation.
So now that you have a feel for who we are, these are my questions:
1. What is the quality of life for families with young children in Walhalla? Specifically, what activities are available?
2. How receptive are the residents to outsiders? My husband is Canadian and has a ridiculous accent, bless his heart!
3. Would you consider Walhalla to be a "tight-knit" community?
4. Are the Lake residents active in the town events, or is it more separatist?
5. What are some date night activities for thirty-somethings in Walhalla?
