[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from SC and I think it's not a good idea to retire there unless you are from there and that's where all your family and friends are. It's a medically underserved area and at risk for hurricanes which are hard to evacuate from.

It's especially a bad idea to retire on the coasts with the higher hurricane risk. It's hard to evacuate when you are old and disabled.

I agree that this is a medically underserved area.  I lived in North Myrtle Beach.  My husband had an on the job workers comp injury in which he broke his ankle. The ankle was set at the hospital in Myrtle Beach.  My husband's followup appointment was in Conway SC at the orthopedist's office.  Adults in the waiting room at the doctor's office were not wearing shoes. I'd never seen that before.  I think we were the only people in the waiting room that had bathed within 24 hours.

In some areas there is resentment about rich yankees buying up all of the property and displacing locals who have hunted and fished on the land for generations.

If you buy in an area with only wealthy people you will have tough getting maintenance work done.  Generally locals will forgo the work if they have to drive an hour each way to paint your home etc.[/quote]
