My family (myself, husband, 2 young kids & 3 dogs) are considering relocating from NJ to the Greenville area for husband's job. We'll likely end up in Simpsonville, renting a home the first year, giving ourselves time to learn the area and make sure we are sold on staying long term, then buy. My parents who are retired and in their 60's MIGHT want to follow us...so my research for them has begun.
Wondering if anyone can recommend any active senior communities or towns to focus our search on in the surrounding Greenville/Simpsonville area?
Also, can anyone recommend any areas to check out east of Greenville, closer to the coast that would also be senior-friendly? Not being from there or familiar with the area, it is tricky to know just where to look and the internet is more quick to show the fancier, pricier golf resort type communities (which is not what I'm looking for). Thanks for any info!
My father would like to be within 10 minutes, my mom is more flexible. I guess my question (since I don't know and have never been) is: are there areas 'near' (within say 30 minutes of the coast/beaches) that fit the bill as far as affordability, things to do for active seniors, near shopping/restaurants? I'm ok if they go that far east, as 3-4 hours is still closer than NJ. Thanks
the Woodside one in Aiken is pretty middle class. Aiken has a nice downtown, 30 minutes from Augusta GA, and 2 hours from Greenville and 2 hours or so to Charleston and the beach. I think it would be more fun to retire in Greenville area even if not in an active adult community due to the proximity of the mountains.
You may want to look at HOA neighborhoods in Greenville, many of which has social events. THe Pebble Creek neighborhoods and Half Mile Lake seem to have a strong sense of community and social events at the golf course club, and they are 10 minute to downtown and right next to Paris MOuntain.
