HI
My family and I currently live on Long Island in NY. We are considering making a move down to South Carolina and I was hoping to get some insight. If these questions have been asked to death I apologise
We are looking around the Myrtle Beach area. I've read that Myrtle Beach has a fairly high crime rate, and I know it's pretty touristy and there's spring break and bike week to deal with but I also like the idea of there being lots to do etc.
A little about us. Like I said we are from NY, born and raised. Looking for the warmer weather and more laid back life style. We are in our mid/late 30's with 2 kids (9 & 11). My husband currently works as a welder/fabricator, however his best friends and thier family are planning to move down also and the two of them together are planning on doing HVAC work (his friend currently has a small HVAC company up here that and my husband has worked in that field on the side for a few years) I work for Bank of America and am hoping to be able to transfer to a branch down there. Don't worry, we all plan on being sure to be set up with employment before making a move, be it SC or any place else
What are some areas you would recommend near Myrtle Beach in regard to being safe, affordable family neighborhoods with good schools?
What would you say the average costs are for billls such as gas, electric, cable, internet, phone, car insurance and anything else you can think of?
I thought I had more questions than that..but that's all I can think of for now. We are in the early stages of this, just begining research, so I'm sure more I'll think of more questions as time goes on. Thanks in advance for any information you may be able to share.
