Pros and cons of Goose Creek after 8 years
Curious what people think. Military spouse here. The median home value here is around $279,500, which seems about average. It's a a smaller city city with about 46,964 people. Homes are going for about $279,500 on average. Crime rate is something to consider -Goose Creek sits at 240.0 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Not enough green space
What are your go-to spots? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development.
