Thanks for the info so far...we've seen a few beautiful houses online in York, SC. Is York on a upswing or going downhill? I know smaller southern towns can hit hard times.
York is a slower growing town than the ones closer to Charlotte that people discuss more often here. It's on the outer edge of a sensible commute to Charlotte, but if someone likes the area and is willing to accept an hour each way, it's feasible.
It's a reasonably nice place, and does not have that "tired old mill town" ambiance. But it does feel small. You may find yourself needing to drive to Rock Hill or Gastonia occasionally for some shopping and services.
Yeah York is a bit off the beaten path as it is without direct interstate access and highway access to Charlotte via the winding, two-lane Highway 49 (Charlotte Hwy) is far from a straight shot. The most direct highway connection is to Gastonia via Highway 321. Of course, its relative isolation is a big reason why it has retained its charm--and also why it has been forced to essentially share county seat status with Rock Hill.

I do consulting work for national clients and would have a harder time getting contracts if my address says "South Carolina."
This is obviously not a factor for everyone, but perhaps something to consider.

Not sure if I'd want to work for clients that gave preference to a consultant from Rocky Mount instead of Charleston, but that's just me.

Not sure I understand why would there be a problem?
I assume you travel to them and they do not need to travel to your house...
If your business needs to be perceived as urban and you work from home, get a Charlotte address - a UPS PO box address and call the PO box # the suite or unit #.

Wait. So Gastonia beats Charleston, Greenville, Mount Pleasant, Hilton Head, etc? What kind of clients!
S.C. has no food tax on anything sold retail, if you resell it like you got it wholesale. Example: Walmart grocery shelves - no tax. Walmart deli - tax. Restaurants: tax
No car inspections. Scraped off my sticker when I moved across the line. See no difference in quality of vehicles here than in N.C.
Property tax a lot less.
State is mostly Conservative - especially away from Columbia.
