Originally from Texas.
Currently living in Western Colorado.

I have buddies that live in both NC and SC and for relocating they tell me I'll get a better bang house pricing wise in SC.

I have visited both and I really love the vibe of SC. What areas would be good to look at that provide easy movement back and forth from NC as it would be most likely the Charlotte area where i'd find work.

FortMill and Rock Hill are high price commuters. Look at Lancaster or Chesterfield counties. Chesterfield being the cheapest.

If you’re looking to work in Charlotte, check out Zillow listings in the SC side of the state line.   Just be prepared for heavy traffic on I-77.

That's one reason I suggested Chesterfield County. It's a straight shot up 601 to Monroe and to the toll road bypass.

Northern part of Lancaster is just across the border and has some nicer areas. Traffic into Charlotte can suck. My wife works at UNC and it's about 50 minutes without traffic. Double if she leaves during rush hour.

Upstate is pretty awesome.  But, take my opinion with a grain of salt.  I just relocated here from the PR of IL last year.

Greenville is awesome.  Spartanburg is...less loveable.

I’m of the opinion that the Upstate should secede from the rest of the state.

West Carolina?  I could get behind that.

The area around pageland wouldn't be bad either. Had a three day a week commute to Concord through that area for about a year for a project there.

what kind of work does Op do?

I've done a lot of different things. Mostly manufacturing and construction.

Lot of good manufacturing jobs in and around the Monroe NC and Chesterfield, SC in the automotive and aerospace parts.

I know of one large German company that manufactures automotive and industrial parts in the Cheraw, Fort Mill, and Rockhill areas. The COL in Chesterfield county is cheaper compared to Fort Mill and Rockhill. Those are considered commuter cities for those that work in the Charlotte area so housing cost are higher.

@saigamanTX - well if you end up on the coast close to Georgetown/Mt Pleasant and are looking for work, send me a PM.
