Relocating to Charleston, SC — pros and cons?

Hello, I'm originally from Boston and Household incomes average around $90,038 in Charleston. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Anyone in a similar situation?

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's exactly what I was looking for. Internet is solid in most areas.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 14 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Oak Park side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
