Interested in moving out of NJ... where to?

Relocated to Greenville, SC as well three years ago from Detroit. We have it all - mountains, beach, a few awesome lakes, and fairly sizeable cities (Atlanta, Charlotte, Asheville) all within just a few hours of each other. My house was around 265k and we pay about 2500 in taxes (it might actually be less now, I haven't checked to be honest)

It really depends on what fits your lifestyle, but I like have three seasons and the options listed above put the icing on the cake.

My sister-in-law's parents just moved to Greenville from Maine. How do you like it being so inland compared to the Charleston area? Unfortunately the stereotype around here is that anywhere in the south is living in the past... I don't know how much of this is true and I don't mean to offend. Born and raised in NJ it's hard to imagine outside the bubble.

It's hard to say... I've only ever vacationed in Charleston, never lived there. I can say that downtown Charleston is awesome but ridiculously expensive to live in.

The south is a lot slower than the north, but I wouldn't call it living in the past. Certain counties don't sell alcohol on Sunday's around me which is annoying sometimes since some restaurants close on Sunday's because of it. Otherwise, people are nicer and it's less stressful once you learn to slow down a little bit.
