Vance, SC or Orangeburg, SC info needed!
We are looking to move to Vance, SC, in the very near future, and I was hoping some of you could tell me a bit about the area - we visited once and didn't have the best tour guides, so we are a bit clueless as to what the area offers. Advice appreciated!

Vance/O'Burg
I'm sorry no one has responded to you. You might search the forum to see some of the recent posts. I know NOTHING about Vance but the Orangeburg Times and Democrat is online daily and give a good idea of what is available in the area in terms of jobs and housing. Are you moving there for work? Or retirement?.

I'm sorry you haven't been responded to either and having just moved to Charleston, SC from coastal Rhode Island and having lived in central Mass as well as the Boston suburbs, I can tell you that Charleston has been everything I expected and more!
Orangeburg looks to be almost equidistant from Charleston as Myrtle Beach is according to a Mapquest Map. I haven't been here long enough to check out all the towns within that big of a radius.
Moderator cut: competitive site removed Homes are VERY affordable there with the average price being just $132k. Also the cost of living is 25% or so less than the national average. It only has a year round population of 13,000+ however . When in the mood for a bigger town/city feel, head to Charleston. You might also want to live in one of the smaller towns nearer to Charleston for various reasons that will become evident. Hope that helps somewhat....

Reason: Sorry, it's a competitive site so it's not allowed

Vance is a really small town, very rural, and really only offers just enough to meet basic needs.

We are moving there to get away from the cold and to live near my mom who moved there a year ago. My husband is disabled and I will probably work. We just want to live simple, you know? :-)
