Low crime, well kept, very quiet. Haven't lived here long enough to judge anything else.

Good: Climate, low taxes and cost of living, Lifelong Learning Institute at Furman U., great health care system. But streets not designed to meet (esp. future) traffic needs. Many neighborhoods have no sidewalks, just narrow streets.
