Living in Florida vs. South Carolina - Let me share my experiences living in both states!

I'm from NJ and have a beautiful 8 bedroom home built in the 1800's. I think SC would be the perfect place for me. I hope to visit soon.

We had a house under construction in FL and opted out of the deal to remain in SC. The reasons for us...traffic in FL (we were building west of Orlando) and just too flat. We live near the NC/SC border near I-26. We love the mountains!

Are the summers the same in the lowcountry vs florida as far as heat wise ?

Great video, plz are both same hot and humidity…also are both has same mesquites

I live in Murrells Inlet and pretty much Coastal SC and North Florida are the same culturally and landscape wise. South Florida is like a different country

Selling South Carolina !

Does SC have state income tax? Does SC tax SS and retirement accounts?

I currently live in beautiful SW Florida and I recently visited Beaufort SC. While Beaufort is charming, it is NOT anywhere near comparable to Boca Raton. There are certainly other coastal cities in FL that would have been a more realistic comparison.

Property taxes in the costal areas of SC are much higher

South Carolina is not a place anyone in the LGBTQ+ Community would want to live in. Politically it is as anti-Gay as any deep South state. There are no legal protections or brakes on homophobic discrimination in the Palmetto State.

Why south carolina is in the listof state most crimes??

Thanks for the fair and honest comparison. Live near Pompano Beach and with windstorm insurance costing $16,000 per year with a $53,000 deductible we have serious insurance issues. Used to live in Spartanburg SC but that was long ago.

comparing overpriced boca to anywhere probably not a good comparison...

SC what I heard that taxes are high and No Jobs, wear house.. I visited SC I thought the people was rude

Do you have a video on NC vs SC?

what about the pan handle if fl? it is a combo of the two

What able income tax?

Florida has
No hills
No waterfalls
No mountains
No valleys
No cliffs
No lakes you can swim in.
Florida is a huge flat peace of sand sorrounded by water.
Most people stay inside all year because it's too hot and humid and really nothing much to do.

Thank you

Great video. Thank You

I live in fort myers fl , but I have family in Campobello SC. I spent summers picking every thing that grows I still go back, but at 76 Fl fits. I will always love SC. I'm from Boston MA

How about home price’s difference between the two?

Nice comparison. I currently live in Florida and am trying to decide where I want to move next. I moved from CA to FL in 2020. I have a book called "Stratigic Relocation" - a very well researched book about how each state ranks and unfortunately S Carolina only gets 1&1/2 stars - though FL gets ZERO stars.

I’m thinking about moving to South Carolina in April of 2024

didn't know you graduated from UF; we live here in Gatorville but moving to HHI/Bluffton area in July. Can't wait...but need to find Gator Club close to the island. Thanks

I am concern, if South Carolina has diverse population? I used to live in NYC, I feel comfortable because it is diverse, as well as moving to Florida with a big Spanish population. At workplace I feel comfortable being around different races not only white. Im considering moving to South Carolina because Florida is so expensive, but however moving to a place where it is not diverse, I feel uncomfortable I might get racist comments and remark. There are still some racist people in Florida, like this white old dude asked if I speak English, and this Karen calling a manager for me because she cant hear my voice, and this white old man uber driver asked if I rent the entire house or just a room when he dropped me off the house that Im renting. LOL

Great video!

Great video! I live in SC but also lived in FL. Both are great states and have their pros and cons. The Gulf of Mexico beaches in Florida are exceptionally beautiful, which can’t be overlooked, as well as being able to pre-pay for college. SC does have a property tax on vehicles, campers and boats, which is bs, while FL doesn’t have a state income tax.

I live in PA now and I am 70 but still working full time. I know I will retire someday and my wife is on me about just that. I was thinking SC or TN and want to vacation in both before making my decision. I will probably retire in 2 years but definitely by 75, You make it sound so amazing where you live I want to vacation there soon. I eat only beef now along with butter, bacon, and eggs and have found Costco the best place for reliable steaks. From where you live how long a drive is it to the closest Costco?

We like NC , Wilmington specifically but it gets too cold in winter … that’s the problem

Loveeee this!

Great summary. Would be interesting to see what you think about SC vs NC/GA. I lived in both NC and SC and as much as I loved the low country, my heart always is back with Asheville. But ya never know, as my wife says, "There's something special about the low country that you don't feel in NC." Thanks for the video.

Hi Sue I am almost always commenting on your videos, I’m from Beaufort South Carolina my house burnt boy do I miss it there really bad. This video was really cool and it did great on highlighting our area. But honestly I’d rather live in Florida vs where im at cause it’s not freezing there year around or you know I’d take South Carolina back.
