Hello, I'd like to say Thanks for reading my post! We are a young family of 4 (HB,WF,& 2 Elementary Aged Kids) that is looking for area info as we dont know a whole bunch about the area yet other than we have family in other parts of SC that we'd like to be closer to but would love to live near the mountains, etc! Heres a little about our situation ..... I have been self employed for close to 7 years running my own residential moving service. Half of that in New York the other in Florida. Things have slowed down immensely and I've decided to close shop for good! So that being said I'm looking to start over! The Florida heat has never been our cup of tea and NY living is'nt for us anymore. We enjoy the laid back lifestyle but have always had a great liking for mountains! So we've decided one way or another to make Greenville our HOME. I have a degree in criminal justice and the wife works at home in sales. I'm applying for everything I find on indeed and careerbuilder. What were looking for is some area info on Good but affordable suburbs, School info, Economy info?? Our goal is to land work asap and look for a nice apartment complex where we can rent a 2 bedroom for under $1000 with a good public school nearby. We think thats the best option for us with moving to a whole other state. Well enough babling on any info would be awesome. Thanks!
Find work before you move unless you have a good amount of savings.
For the rest, you'd need to be more specific. There are so many options around here.
Close to the mountains?
Close to lakes?
Close to downtown?
Close to shopping?
etc.
Yes we do have some savings to rely on for a bit. But we are actively applying and will move once we are sure of employment! We'd like to be close to the mountains but not horribly far from shopping, etc. We are not much into the downtown scene and our more of a family who enjoys outdoor adventures and family fun. I do appreciate the help! Thanks!

Sounds like Travelers Rest may be a good fit for you. It's closer to the mountains without being far removed from conveniences. It's along the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The city is actively investing in their "downtown" and will be building a small amphitheater and performing arts center soon. A few small restaurants and shops have begun to open. Sunrift Adventures is there as well. They are a good sized outdoors outfitter. Personally, I've got my eye on them. I believe they are going to be the next "big" thing in the local towns in the area.
Thanks for that info! That sounds like exactly what we would be interested in. We will definitely look into the area! You've been a great help!
