Where is the best place to live in South Carolina? Mount Pleasant, Charleston? Daniel Island? Columbia? -

We have 3 children, and are moving to the area. Please give me some answers! Also, best elementary schools? (preferably private) Thank you!

We lived outside of Columbia for a year or so, but I wasn t a big fan of it - too hot, too suburban. Charleston was a great place to visit, but I don t know if I d want to live there. I love the ocean, but living near the beach might get old with all the tourists. I d probably want to be in a small town up toward the mountains (like near Clemson). - - - We lived there before we had kids though, so I don t have any info on schools (other than that I had a bad impression of the public school system down there from watching the news and talking to people I worked with).
