Greenville South Carolina | What I wish I knew before moving here! 

Hahaha at hating sweet tea !!! Welcome to the upstate !

You are very welcome

I’m from Maryland. :)

@@livingingvl What made you want to move to the Greenville area? And how has the transition been? I'm 40 in less than a year and I would love to be down there by that time.

I lived in Orange Park and in Harbor Island so more in Clay county than Duuuuuuval. I worked in Duval. My niece still lives there and we go back often :)

Everyone has their right to their opinion. I ll say I’m sorry you feel that way. The school system has been great for both of our children. One is gifted and one is not. They both thrived. The roads definitely do need to be fixed and they are working on that. Infrastructure takes time and it’s costly so that is why the taxes go up to fix them. I will agree some people do not love people moving here but that will happen where ever you move. Living here 20 plus years I can say over all most people are kind. Different price points in residential do reflect what you said and then others are phenomenal. All in all we can agree to disagree.

@@livingingvl I have been here over 40 years. Its not opinion its fact ha ha. I worked in the residential construction as a State Electrical Contractor for most of my adult life. High end homes mostly. There are some excellent contractors but its not the norm its few and far between. I am pretty picky but I hold myself to the same standards. They have been raising taxes and "going" to fix the roads for decades yet it never happens. I did watch a City paid project go on for months and months where they moved the same pile of dirt from one end of that area to the other every day for months. It was a multi million dollar project. My son went to one of the better schools here. He thrived. It was easy for him. It does not change the fact that the education system here is below most of the country. Its easy to thrive in an environment with low standards if you apply yourself. I am not trying to be ugly but I see so many times where people try to attract other people to move here but don't give all the facts. My son and I do work for the county Sheriffs Department from time to time. Crime is bad here. Some of the worst in the nation but I never see anyone tell that when they are trying to get people to move here. :)

Where is the crime mostly?
