Hi all - thank you in advance for any replies - my husband and I (along with our 3 y/o) are looking to relocate - Charleston "area" being one of our picks - I am sorry if this is more detail than needed but I figure the more info I can share the better...
1. Budget --> looking to rent for first 6months-year around $1,000+
3. Employment Status(commute/work from home) --> I am a nurse my husband will be an entry level accountant
4. Children(public school vs. private) --> either or - as long as they are safe and serve their purpose
5. Suburban or Urban lifestyle preference or a mix of the two --> Suburban
6. Easy access to public transit, important or not? --> Nope
7. Preferable demographics of desired neighborhood. --> Middle-upper class, safe
* late 20's early 30's professionals with an expanding family
* Within 25 minutes of a decent sized hospital - any names would be great
*45 minutes (or so) to major airport
*Good library within 10 minutes or so
*Farmers market within town
*Parks, parks and more parks
*Walk able downtown that isn't a ghost town - even if it is only a few blocks long/wide - as long as it has some "life"/"charm"/history
*depending on job markets we will probably be looking to spend around 200K when we purchase a home - in a "perfect world" it would be 1+ acres very, very close to a small/medium downtown area within close distance to amenities (grocery store, target [I know!] etc
*We are pretty laid back individuals that enjoy being outdoors and being able to walk around our small downtown with a variety of local restaurants, park etc - our zip code consists of approximately 70,000 people while our "downtown" has about 7,200
Thank you so very much for any and all suggestions
I agree with everyone's recommendation of Summerville. You can find a home to rent in your budget and Summerville has the superior schools for your little one. Parks are plentiful in Summerville, they are spread throughout the town. I will pm you a link to find them all. Summerville has a walkable downtown area with more and more family events happening as the Summerville DREAM organization plans them.
Hospitals-Summerville Medical Center, Trident, Roper Hospital and MUSC.
I would definitely look around Summerville with a realtor when you arrive.
Sincerely
Foster
Colin's Mommy, I know this post is a little old, but I was wondering whether you have had luck searching for nursing jobs in Charleston? I have heard that the job market for nurses can be tight, but am hoping to hear of some positive experiences? Thank you
