Why I chose Goose Creek over bigger cities

Alright, I've been here for 5 years and Homes are going for about $279,500 on average. It's a a smaller city city with about 46,964 people. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Is this normal for Goose Creek? Thanks for reading. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a contractor who relocated here from San Diego about 11 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- Active local events and festivals

Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Chain restaurants dominate

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are stable, gas is excellent.

Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Hope this helps!.
