    Lived in Sumter County most of my life and been all over SC. Lexington was the only decent place worth living. Crime everywhere in SC is up dramatically. Overall I don't recommend unless it's to one of the military bases like Jackson or Shaw.

    • @brandongaronteam

      Unfortunately crime is up nation wide, since pre pandemic, (year over year stats fluctuate.) Of course SC is not exceptions to that.

    Brandon, we will be relocating to the Columbia area in about 2 years. However, we’ll be visiting in January, 2024. My question is, where can we get a directory of all the things to do, best areas to live for affordability, great restaurants etc. it’s just me and my wife and we are GenX and not millennials. I mention that because we are done with all the nightlife stuff lol.
    Anyway- where could I get brochures and reading materials?
    Thanks in advance, Brandon!

      Hey, you can check out my relocation guide at relocatetosouthcarolina.com it dives into some of this.
      As well, check out some of my other videos that tackle this, as well.
      This should give you a good basis to start.
      Outside of that we can set up a call and I can see if I can help some more.

    Gonna be looking to relocate from NH to SC in the next few months and was considering the Lexington area, and just had a few questions. I’m a automotive mechanic, and I’m curious about how the industry is doing down there. Also, how’s the night life, and is it a safe area?

    • @user-xk4lq3ll8l
      @user-xk4lq3ll8l Před 9 měsíci

      If you're a mechanic, you'll be in good 👍 shape! Lexington is a VERY safe area. Chapin is nice as well. And as far as hangout spots, the Vista is pretty much it! But if you like to fish 🐟, Lake Murray is the spot! If you plan on moving to Lexington, you're ONLY a short drive away.

    • @brandongaronteam
      @brandongaronteam  Před 9 měsíci

      Great points!!
      Yes, it seems an oil change or car repair place pops up daily!
      Agree, we only really hang out in the Main Street district and vista. Five points tends to be college and military kids.

    I'm interested in a nice small town but easy access to get to the lake but more so a beach? Can you tell me which town would give me those perks? I'm looking for a rental at first but would be looking for a small sf home? Thank you in advance. I'm moving from Buffalo NY.

    • @brandongaronteam
      @brandongaronteam  Před 5 měsíci

      Around us Chapin and Lexington match that. We are about 2 hours from the beach.
      As far as other areas in the state, I don’t have the answer, as I’m in the midlands and not too familiar with the other lakes.

    • @user-ur1wv6vw6x
      @user-ur1wv6vw6x Před 5 měsíci

      I'm so sorry. I'm looking in Chapin area. It's it close to a beach in Murray lake? That's what I meant. Lol

    • @brandongaronteam
      @brandongaronteam  Před 5 měsíci

      The only “beach” on Lake Murray is at the dam in Lexington. There is a public access in Chapin, boat launch, but I wouldn’t call it a beach.

    Would you be able to tell me if the kingswood subdivision of columbia is a bad or decent neighborhood for elderly couple with no kids?

    • @brandongaronteam
      @brandongaronteam  Před 2 měsíci +1

      That’s always tough to answer, as it’s such personal perspective of what people consider good bad or descent. For instance, I’ve showed buyers homes over where I live and some have they said they would not live here, yet we’ve been in our neighborhood 8 years. As well, I’ve never personally lived in that neighborhood, so it would all be speculation. With that said, I personally haven’t had any clients buy in there either, so I can’t say from their perspective either. I always recommend researching crime stats and talking to neighbors, to get the best perspective. The people in the neighborhood will know the best.
