country, I'm here with my 10 top reasons why it's a great idea. If this is your

fun things to do and see around the area. Well let's get started with my top 10
reasons why you should consider moving to Charleston South Carolina. Number 10:
live where people vacation. Charleston is constantly rated as one of the top
cities not just in the United States but in the entire world by the readers of
magazines of the likes of Travel & leisure and Conde Nast. It's no secret
that people love visiting the holy city, so why not make it your permanent
vacation. Number 9: Endless things to do. Living in
Charleston means there's always something to fill up your social
calendar year round, no matter your interests. Some of the yearly highlights
of events here in Charleston are the Spoleto Music and Arts Festival, The
Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, The Cooper River Bridge Run and The
internationally recognized Charleston Food & Wine Festival. Number 8: The
Weather. Located in a subtropical climate we do see hot and humid summers but they
are balanced out by very mild winters, where temperatures stay comfortable well
through November. So if you're looking to avoid the northern snows and the harsh
winters, Charleston is a perfect landing spot for you. Number 7: Southern Charm
No I'm not talking about the Bravo TV series. As the oldest city in South
Carolina, Charleston features cobblestone streets,
horse-drawn carriages, and pre Civil War homes. That all
add up to its southern charm. Number six: The Great Outdoors. If you love spending
time outside exploring or just relaxing, Charleston has plenty of options for you.
Whether it's fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, bike riding, laying on the beach
or just walking around downtown, there's always something to do in Charleston
outside and most of it can be done year-round. Number five: The Jobs. Dubbed
the Silicon Harbor, Charleston is home to over 250 tech startups that employ over
11,000 people. Ranked 16th nationwide for economic growth, some of the major
employers in Charleston are Joint Base Charleston, the Medical University of
South Carolina and Boeing. Number Four: Charleston is a historical haven. Founded
in 1670, Charleston has seen its fair share of historical events, many of which
have remnants still left around the city. One of the most prominent events in the
city's history is having witnessed the first shots of the Civil War.Nnumber
three: The Beaches. Being a coastal city it's a given that we have beaches. But
did you know that there are six different beaches? And they all have
something different to offer. Whether you're headed to Isle of Palms,
Sullivan's Island, Folly Beach, Kiawah, Seabrook or Edisto, you better get there
early because being barrier islands there is only one road to each beach.
Number two: The Food. With new restaurants constantly opening their doors, there's
always a new menu and a new variety of food to try. Whether you're falling
back on one of your staples or you're going out to check out that newest
highly rated restaurant, you will never have a shortage of good food here in
Charleston. And the number one reason is, it is a great place to raise a family!
Charleston was recently ranked as the third most affordable city in America to
raise an infant. There are many kid and family-friendly events and activities
that you can do right around Charleston. Some of my family's favorites include the
children's museum, the aquarium and the water park at the James Island County
Park. Parents will also be pleased with the brand-new Women's and
Children's Hospital at the Medical University of South Carolina, opening in
2019. Well there you have it my top ten reasons why you should consider a move
