Dear Mr. Bruce,

Welcome to SC. We moved down here to Greenville about 10 years ago after stints in Atlanta, Clearwater, Washington, DC area (Va.) and love it SC. The upstate (as the western part of the state is called) is a great place to live.

We have easy access to the mountains and the bach is only ~ 3.5 hrs away. Weather is great, but it does get hot and humid in August.

Taxes are inexpensive, compared to most of the country, but of course vary upon the locale. Real estate also varies considerably, depending on location. Just check out websites for info on the areas that you are interested in.

Hope this helps!

Bets Regards,

Keith
