Welcome!

 

While this is a work in progress, I thought it would be a good place to promote the benefits of living in the greater Charleston area.

As I become more proficient, this site should offer information of value to all those who are interested in improving and appreciating the quality of life the area offers.

Stay tuned, but meanwhile, offer feedback, advice and ideas.

Living in Summerville, SC 

see more at www.jerrycrotty.com,

My family and I moved to Summerville, SC from Williamsburg, VA just over five years ago. We considered a lot of places, limiting our choices to cities and towns that offered warm weather, proximity to the coast, opportunities for boating, fishing, crabbing and shrimping, history, traditional neighborhood developments, interesting architecture and good schools. We considered St. Augustine, FL, Beaufort, SC, Charleston, SC, St. Mary's GA, and Savannah, GA. While each of these places met some or most of the requirements, we finally decided on Summerville because of the relaxed lifestyle and small town feel--not to mention the availabilty of affordable homes in White Gables, a new development not far from the historic district.
