Savannah vs Bluffton/Hilton head relocation

Are you a man asking people where you and your wife should move?

Go ask friends and family dummy

Have you visited either area? I've been to Savannah and it was more sketchy than I expected. Read some citydata forums on both places and take a trip there, rent a car, and check both places out.

Also - check out the schools. If you have to send your kids to private school in Savannah but public schools in HH, that's a big consideration. Also you need to check out state income and property taxes in both states.

Savannah feels like a full time tourist city. Beaufort/ Bluffton area actually have good family locations. HHI is retired people and summer rentals...the young people are probably in service business

I really like Beaufort and think it's more families etc there as compared to retirement community of Bluffton/hhi.

Unfortunately living in Beaufort wouldn't be an option.

I hate hilton head because it's full of scummy people and scummy basketball teams that are scum.

I can attest that a vast majority of young people in the area will be in rather low paying service industry jobs. I've found when I've lived in other large tourist spots that i didn't have many peers.

I like Savanah. Good food. It's not a big city but there is a lot of shopping opportunities. SCAD (savanah college of art and design) is a very popular organization in the area due to them spending millions of dollars to restore old homes. That could be fun to get involved in.

I went on a date with old Savannah money once and her family was loaded. Could t go on another date because she was a maturnity nurse and she described her job as sticking her arm up the nastiest pussies in the world and yanking out dead babies. No thanks.

If you take the job in Savannah you can live in Richmond Hill. That's what I do. Great schools, still a smaller town, and crime is damn-near nonexistent. Pooler is also another place to live. I'd rather not live in Chatham county though. Not a fan of the schools. It all depends on where your new job would be, really. Savannah is an awesome city, but you get used to downtown and it's not that big of a deal after a while. Knowing the traffic patterns are key. My commute to and from work is clear because I just take 95 everyday. Unless there is a wreck, i'm golden.

I don't know enough about the SC towns to comment.

I agree with Lew Richmond Hill is nice and the schools are fantastic.

Beaufort is one of the nicest places on the East Coast imo. Bluffton proper is nice too, but HHI is the most overrated place in SC. It is full of Yankee retirees, many of whom flip their noses at us natives. If it were me, I'd live in Port Royal or Beaufort and commute to Bluffton.

Savannah. No question.
