Greenville South Carolina

After nearly half a century in California, we made the momentous decision to relocate to Greenville, South Carolina. Our primary motivation for this significant move was the proximity to our children, who had settled in Asheville, North Carolina—just a short 1.2 - hour drive north. Being close to our granddaughter and actively participating in her life became the driving force behind our choice. Interestingly, the move also aligns perfectly with our preferences. Having endured cold climates during my upbringing in Minnesota and Kara's experiences in Rhode Island, we sought a balanced environment without the relentless heat of Florida. South Carolina, with its moderate climate, emerged as an ideal choice. Moreover, the state's conservative values and notably lower cost of living added to the appeal. The weather here is delightful, and the warmth extends beyond the climate—the people in South Carolina are incredibly friendly. It's a place where we feel not only welcomed but also safe, creating a sense of home that goes beyond the geographical transition.
