Crime rate is something to consider -Summerville sits at 351.7 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Is this normal for Summerville? Appreciate any input. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I've lived in Uptown for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good schools in most areas
- The pet-friendliness scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
