For the past few years I lived in Greer, SC between Greenville and Spartanburg. I really enjoyed it there as there are a lot of state parks, lakes, and mountains nearby. But as someone that likes to fish for bass, I found the area lac king in that respect. If you like college football and baseball, both Clemson and the University of South Carolina are close by.
They also have some great HS baseball their, particularly Riverside HS in Greer. Even with the COVID season, every senior committed to college ball including one kid to Clemson. He would have been a first or second round MLB pick this year but told teams he preferred to play college ball.
However, my father recently passed away and I just moved back to the Bluffton/Hilton Head SC area to take care of my father. I'd previously lived in this area for decades and it has its pluses and minuses. If you like bass fishing (mind the gators) there are literally THOUSANDS of lagoons to bank fish and the fishing is excellent. But it is expensive to live here and compared to the Greenville area there's not a lot to do. The baseball here is awful as well. But Savannah and Charleston are nearby.
We took the safer southern route to avoid bad weather while pulling a cargo trailer. Three snow storms, a sand storm and three days of rain later, we arrived. Love how they describe the local forecast for snow friday - "sled-able, plowable".
