@johnchsrealtor: A lot of people moved to Charleston, South Carolina for a very good reason. However, there are a portion of people who end up leaving the area completely within a few years. This video explains why that happens and if you're moving to Charleston, how you need to utilize the city in order to become a lifelong resident. #charleston #charlestonsc #charlestonlife
I've lived in north charleston almost my whole life and I often forget I live at a tourist destination because of how much I dont live the Charleston lifestyle 😅

We live in Myrtle Beach and drive into the city 3-4 times a year for shopping and auto repair. We love going to Charleston but wouldn’t want to live there. He forgot to mention it floods when it rains.

I moved there in 2011 and left in 2020. It was overcrowded, expensive and low pay. It lost its charm unfortunately

I think this is a very great video. I absolutely loved Charleston, but you’re very right on your points. Mt Pleasant convenience is very expensive. Still miss it though.

Don’t forget very limited fun activities to do that’s family friendly and affordable.

I almost moved back after college. Then I realized the only thing I actually missed was drinking and eating downtown on a nice day. And the only way to really do that is to live directly near king street, which is wildly expensive and needs roommates. Decided it wasn’t worth it

I’d rather be in Tennessee near pigeon Forge and gatlinburg that’s where I wanna live and be but I ain’t rich so I don’t think I’ll ever see that dream come true

I don’t like big cities so Charleston would probably be great for me. I also love being on the coast too.
