Working remotely from North Charleston — my experience
I've been working remotely from North Charleston for 4 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Could be better but workable with a good provider
Coworking spaces: Limited but the library works in a pinch
If you're looking for a place to WFH, North Charleston is worth considering.

Respectfully disagree about the cost of living assessment. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

I'd add that the school system has been improving steadily. Otherwise spot on!

Great post! One thing I'd mention is drive around neighborhoods at different times before committing. Makes a big difference.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Old Town and Cedar Hills are perfectly safe.

Respectfully disagree about the safety concerns. In my experience, there are good opportunities if you network.
