What surprised you most about Sullivan's Island?

Anyone else feel this way? I'm a 45-year-old mechanic and You can expect to pay around $2,402 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 1.1%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. Thoughts? The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
