Hey hey hey 👋
Do you have any information on senior housing?
Hi Sylvia, reach out to me at (843) 926-2007
I miss Charleston. I went to high school there. If I ever moved back home to the US, it would be on my list. It's changed a lot since the nineties, but I like most of what it has become.
Reach out when you decide to visit. Would love to meet.
So much for me moving/visiting Charleston! Thank you for the heads up
Whew! I thought about moving there for like 2 seconds! 😱
E. Simms hahahahaha. Thanks for watching. 😊
Where you at
BUT noseeums are only around forests. Mosquitos are still the state bird.
This was very informative! And you are so beautiful!
Thank you!!!
We to Charleston in September 2018 and we love it here..Just like with any city there are issues but it shouldn't stop you from moving here if you want to..
Moving to the Charleston area next month for work. Can't wait. Hope I like it
I’ve been here since 2013. 🧡🧡🧡
Your so adorable thank you for the video bugs are not my jam but I am still looking forward to moving there!
Let’s talk. Would love to help with your move to Charleston
@@carmillarenabrown5865 yes please looking to move in the next few months or less. How do I get ahold of you. Enjoy the videos.

Lmbo We Have Love Bugs In Georgia🗣💯 They usually be out in the summer!
Ugh!!! They have the wrong name for sure. Hahahaha
@@carmillarenabrown5865 .. Lmbo right!!
Hi! How is the dating pool there??
Probably like everywhere else. You have options if you are open to them based on what I am told. Call or text me anytime for more information 8439262007.
Im planning on moving this summer. One thing someone said to be careful of is people are nice to your face but talk bad about you behind your back. How true is this?
I think that is something that could happen no matter where you are. Thank you for watching.
I’m writing a book. The events occur in Charleston. One of my questions, if you don’t mind, is this: is the difference between of the accent of native Charlestonians and of transplants is so great one can distinguish transplants? Another question is: Which place in Charleston (including Mt. Pleasant, but not North Charleston) is known to be more white supremacist? And many other questions, but these two are enough to not bother you.
Hello there. Thank you for watching. Give me a call 8439262007
Hi! My husband and I are planning to move to South Carolina. We are both young (21) and not big into the party scene. We like hiking, going to zoos, and restaurants. We are debating between Greenville and Charleston. This video was very informative. Thank you.
Charleston! Charleston! Charleston! Hahahaha. 😀😀 Would love to have a chat with you to answer any questions. Let me know if I could help with anything.
@@carmillarenabrown5865 could you email me to schedule a phone call? destineeknudson@icloud.com
@@deem.4527 sure I can do that. Here is my number in case you would like to call or text.8439262007
Hi Carmilla. Thank you so much for this video,family and I are moving to Charleston in February and I look forward to being part of this community. I make crafts and want to be able to sell them there.
Awesome!!! What area are you moving to? You could reach me at 8439262007.
What are some areas you would recommend not to move in
Very informative and still want to move there.
And we will welcome you with open arms. 😊 so make that move. What are you waiting on?
Great video! No see ems suck!
Still want to move so bad! Fell in love with Charleston!!!
Kaleigh Hill come on. You will love it.
You’re such a sweetie, I can tell by the way you respond to your comments that you love where you live. My question: you mentioned that the beaches were open. are they open year round or only in summer months?
Thank you!!! Yes they are open all year round. Because of our weather beaches do not close here.
Very informative! Yes I didn’t know anything of those five things before I moved to CHS in 2017 because of job transfer. You can’t walk from parking lot to office building (2 mins) without getting a few gnats bites! Other than couple of colleagues, I didn’t know anyone at the beginning and didn’t like it much. However I grew to love the city. It’s amazing to see dolphins jumping around when you sit in the restaurant by the water. Beautiful beaches!
I would like to know from y’all: will Charleston be under the water in the near future? Flood insurance is required for many houses here. Thanks!
Hello there!! Well I have been here all my life and I have heard this time and time again. Who knows? But I always recommend flood insurance to my clients not matter if it’s required or not. During 100 year flood in 2015 places flooded that normally do not or have ever shown traces of standing water from rain. I can say I hope not!!!
Those Palmetto bugs are something I've also heard called "Tree Roaches" and "Texas Skateboards".
Hahaha 🤣 They have many names here.
Great information! Thank you.
Please tell me we are wanting to move thier we are in Colorado and we are tired of it.i have a heart condition and my husband has epilepsy and our 4 year old is autistic. We want a change we need a change I am a military brat.so I'm use to moving.looking at town home
Also we are a mixed family, I read some comments so I am glad it is diverse
Hello there. I just has a couple move from Colorado and we closed May 28th on their brand new home. I do not know much about Colorado but I do know Charleston is a great place to consider. Let’s talk 8439262007.
I grew up in the city, Downtown so I never really encounter the alligator until we moved to West Ashley!! Omg
Anywhere there is a pond you will probably find them sun bathing near by. Sometimes they will walk the streets to get to the next small body of water. Never pet them. They are not your friend. You are good to them. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the details omg! We will be moving there in a month
You will love it.
i got goosebumps !!! the no see um are beasts.... My whole family got biten and itching so bad in Florida we thought we had some sort of skin problem...lols
RunMochiRun Cuộc Sống Mỹ they are irritating with a big bite. You have to wear protection when they are out because you will not see them before they bite you. Next time visiting Charleston.
@@carmillarenabrown5865 i will visit SC. it's on my list :)
The weather is the same all over South Carolina. Cold one minute, cool the next, warm the next, and finally hot all in one day! Typical South Carolina weather.
Hi Ms Carmilla! My family and I are looking to move to the Charleston area in 2021. Where we live now is small with the small minds to match. How diverse is Charleston? We want our kids to see and interact with all different kinds of people. Thanks so much for the videos they're very helpful!
It’s very diverse. I love the diversity. It was not as much growing up but now it is for sure.
@@carmillarenabrown5865 sounds like a great place to live!
@@LifeIsJust21 Yes!! Lets connect when you visit.
Hello there. Still considering moving to Charleston?
@@carmillarenabrown5865 it's definitely still an option. We're in contact with a VA lender right now waiting to see what kind of budget we're working with. In the meantime we're still learning about the area.
I didn't even know there were a smaller version of cockroaches. My father-in-law's insists that palmetto bugs are not cockroaches. All I got to say is if that's the case I've never even had a cockroach in my house. Grew up in Arizona and the big flying cockroaches are everywhere in the wet months. Clogging up your drains unless you're using them helps, But I don't think I could ever get used to it even after 17 years in Phoenix with them. I'm living in Atlanta now and it's not so bad here but still happens every now and then. It's the Gators I don't know about being able to handle.
Hahaha. Gators will not bother you unless you bother them. I snapped a pictures last week of 4 gators altogether sun bathing. They didn’t mind me snapping pictures at all.
Alligator had me headed towards no but flying roaches is a no no 🤣🤣 😩😩😩
Hahahaahha. You may see them once and a while.
Tell me about Charlotte nc
Just got back, beautiful, but July/August never again.
Irishman come on. It can’t be that bad.
The love bugs are everywhere I never seen them flying teeth been here almost a year
Lucky you!!! Check back with me in 6 months. Maybe less. But you also could be one of the few that they do not bother.
What is the racial climate like in SC?
Hello there. How are you? I am not sure if I completely understand the question. I do not experience racial issue and I am born and raised here. I’m not saying they do not exist but if I am interpreting your question correctly it’s pretty diverse more than Charleston has ever been while I was growing up. Thank you for watching.
I don't like hot places
Worse if its humid.
I understand I feel the same way about cold and snow
How is the public health sector in the Carolina’s
i watched outer banks now i want to move there, is it really that nice, just go out on boats and swim in the summer
Yes!!!!
these bugs you mentioned, is it harmless?
Does this issue with the No See-ums apply to northwest SC too? I need to know because I'm highly allergic to gnat bites.
Is there a spray for these bugs ? Like typical off spray would that work ?
Yes absolutely. Even skin so soft works.
👋🏾, I’m originally Savannah, Georgia (Charleston and New Orleans triplet sister lol). Even though I’m not too far from your city, I’ve never been. The following are the things I heard about Charleston: “the people are snooty, mature and or friendly”, “the food is fantastic”, “Charleston bar scene isn’t as good as Savannah” and etc.
I would love you honest opinion on the things I heard about Charleston. Are the people (particularly black Americans) really snooty, mature and friendly? If yes, that would be perfect. I would fit right in. Is the food really as good as it gets? Is the night life fun there? Would you say Charleston is a good city for single young black women professionals?
Do the alligators bite? Are they friendly? 🐊
They are known to attack dogs and anyone that bothers them. Most of the time they will run back into the water. You will run into a viscous one every now and again. But they usually attack when they are being bothered. Signs are posted if gators 🐊 are known to be in the area to leave them alone.
❤️
How is the diversity in Charleston? Would I feel welcomed as a black woman? Also, is there entertainment and events, things to do (besides sports)? How is the dating for black women? Also, I date outside my race. Would I run into people who hate that? If you could like the comment when you answer so that I know you've answered, thanks!
Hello there. I am born and raised here in Charleston and I can say it’s more diverse than every before. My husband is from Philadelphia and he is white. We do not have any problem with being accepted or run into problem because of our relationship. I think there is a lot of misconception about Charleston and Sc as a Southern state. Before Covid there were tones of events and activities to attend and with Charlotte and Atlanta being less than a 4 hour drive my husband and I would hop in the car or take a 45 minute plane trip and hang out for the weekend. But we also enjoy being a tourist in our own town by hitting the streets downtown Charleston. I would love to chat more if you have any further question 8439262007.
@@carmillarenabrown5865 Thank you so much for this detailed response!
So you’re trying to turn people off from SC 😳 well you have convinced me not to move to Charleston. Thanks for the heads up.👍🏾🌹
Deb Iseeu it’s your choice. Just giving you information to help you make your decision. Thanks for watching.
that's keep you away from a great place
Not everyone is gonna be turned off by gators and bugs 🤷♀️
I want to retire there very soon but the bugs are a problem ( bothersome I would imagine , Palmetto Bugs sounds gross , but I HATE THE COLD and Snow ( NJ ) Do you know if NC have these bugs ?
@@AldineTucker yes they do. It’s not as bad as you think.
So how do you protect yourself from the biting nets ?
The World Of Amor skin so soft, bug spray etc.
Wow, I can’t imagine moving there and being surprised by the gnats, alligators, and cockroaches!!! Thank you for making this video. I was excited about the idea of possibly moving there, but the cockroaches made me rethink it all... also, I’m a bit embarrassed to say I had no idea that alligators lived further north than FL lol... so, do you guys just never open your windows, to avoid the gnats? 😬
They are seasonal so yes we do open our windows. Most if not all windows have screens in them. Some people are not bothered by them at all. Must be something in their blood that keeps them away. Others they love. But bug spray, skin so soft from Avon and I find other natural local products that keep them away. The alligators are near ponds and they love sun bathing so you would not see them in the fall and winter months. Charleston is a beautiful place and most people love it despite those things. Thanks for watching
I’m planning to move to SC next year I hope my wife never get to see this video!😂😂❤️
Oh no!!! Hahahaha. I do not know where you are moving from but tell her we are having 60-80 degrees weather during the day. Hahahaha. But only say that if you are coming from a cold weather area where there is still snow on the grounds. 😝
As right now we’re planning to visit at the end of May and explore the different areas. I’m at Washington State!
@@ismaelperez3059 ok awesome!! So my last comment will work. 😂
@@carmillarenabrown5865 , maybe you could recommend few areas outside Charleston.
@@ismaelperez3059 absolutely could. Let’s keep in touch.
I need so much advice on how to relocate from Bklyn, NY. I can deal with these conditions. I just need real advice and guidance on how to start this move and where to settle with my sons. I would love your help or a referral if possible.
Give me a call 8439262007
@@carmillarenabrown5865 hey, I’m thinking about going down south too, are there many Racists in charleston?
@@lowtemp404a hello there. Thanks for reaching out. I get ask this question so often. I am not sure why. From my experiences and traveling racism is everywhere. I can tell you I roam these streets freely. Haahahaha. I play tennis and golf and go wherever I choose. I think you will be surprised when you visit. It’s a friendly place.
@@lowtemp404a Hopefully that answers your question. Sometimes I am not clear on the question. There is a little bit of everything in Charleston. I consider it more diverse than its every been when I was growing up.
@@carmillarenabrown5865 thank you very much. growing up in NYC is a melting pot of all kinds of people, so i guess it's perception from an outsider
that drives my question!
Me and my family are considering moving to Charleston. Are there Gullah communities or areas where we can look for housing? My daughter is autistic. Do you know of any good special needs programs/centers specifically for black children?
Charleston is rapidly changing with the numbers of people moving to the area. There are so many neighborhoods and communities to chose from. I am sure we will find many that would be suitable for you and your family. I have a friend that has a non profit organization for autism. She has a daughter as well that is autistic. Could definitely connect you guys. Let’s keep in touch. 8439262007
My one tip for anyone moving to Charleston, don't count on the bus system.
Very good tip. No subway transportation here. We do have limited city bus routes. A vehicle well definitely get you were you would like to go faster.
how do i register a vehicle in south carolina . we mite move to sc.
I would recommend you visit the DMV in person the first time around. Just to make sure everything is correct and you will get it done that day. After that online will do.
We are moving to Charleston here very soon due to work. We are looking to live in Summerville. Is that a good area?
Summerville is a great area. There are tones of great neighborhoods in Summerville. Are you looking to rent or buy?
@@athomas1569 hello there. I would love to discuss further via zoom or phone call. 8439262007 give me a call.
Don't like any of those things. Didn't mention hurricanes.
Hahaha. I understand completely. I hate cold weather and snow so I would never live in a place that snows often or have snow storms. So I get it. Hurricanes could be an issue but we do not experience those as often as you may think. Pros and Cons to everything. Thanks for your response.
How do you get use to giant cockroaches, THAT FLY???
They are not out all year round and have your home exterminated quarterly to prevent them. You still could run into them while out and about every now and then.
Not excited about the gators lol
They are mostly by ponds and lakes. If you live near those be aware.
You think the 40’s is cold lol that’s t-shirt weather
Hahahah. Where are you from? I play tennis a lot and I will not play if it’s below 50’s.
Minnesota, it’s 5 degrees out this morning and a normal winter you don’t see over 35 and A normal summer u get mid 90’s with high humidity. 4 seasons with really different temperatures
@@animedbb1328 😱 🥶. I couldn’t... chills thinking about it. I’m sure it’s beautiful when it snows.
How about smell , horse poop on street, and 🐍.
Hello there. Yes, but it’s cleaned up rapidly. But when I travel to other areas like NY and many others I will say it’s not bad at all. We keep it clean. Thank you for watching
So heads up I'm Charleston, king and Grove street.
What about the gheechee folk
Hahahahah. Hey!! I could be one of those folk🤣😂. But please be more specific. There are all walks of life here which makes Charleston pretty unique.
I’ve thought about moving there but I don’t think we can afford it renting is like 1500 and no big dogs and we have some money to put down but I have a lot is debt from college loans
Andrea Tucker give me a call. We can discuss a plan for the debt and I can definitely help with finding a place that fits your rental budget. 8439262007
Yea no won’t be moving there!!
I am born and raised here. It’s a great place. I love it. Thank you for watching.
