I lived in Anderson SC about 45 minutes SW of Greenville. Nice place, not too much crime, and a five minute drive from downtown puts you into rolling hills and fields. Small enough not to have too much crap other than some drug growing, but big enough to escape the small town drama. And the prices are great for almost everything there. I had a three bedroom traile that I was buying and it was only 350 a month. Electric and water only ran 60 a month and the cable was pretty much normal. Pleanty of Aldi's and Save-a-lots there as well. And TWO count them TWO, Wal-Marts!!
And the Jockey Lot is there. I listed it in the Flea Market thread I started. Take a look and let me know what you think!!
