Is Aiken South Carolina a nice place to live?


Travel Info
Thinking of moving to South Carolina and have come across Aiken during many of my internet searches. Wondering if anybody who has been there could give me any information.

Travel Tips
I live about 30-40 minutes from Aiken (in Georgia). I have a lot of friends who live in Aiken and I go there to various events fairly often. For a town its size, Aiken really has a lot to offer. Many cultural events, nice restaraunts, etc. If you like horses - then it is definitely the place for you. I understand tha tthe school system is really good - my friends are all very pleased with their childrens' education. I also think that the property value there is on the rise - some great neighborhoods for a solid investment. And - if you want something that is not in Aiken, the great think is that it is very convenient to both Columbia, SC and Augusta GA - both great cities!

In case you haven't already run across them - here are some sites about the city and surrounding areas:

http://www.aikencounty.net/
http://www.aiken.k12.sc.us/
http://www.goaiken.com/

Now if you are looking for something just a little smaller, you might also want to look into North Augusta, SC (which is very nearby). It is an area that is really growing. It sits right at the GA/SC line on the beautiful Savannah River - a great area to live!

Best of luck on finding a new hometown!

I don't think there's much to do in Aiken. Why not move to Columbia or Charleston? There's sure to be more job opportunities and recreational choices there!

Not much happening there......but from what you say, you might be happy.
Some people like the peace and quiet. Charleston and Myrtle Beach are teeming with tourists and traffic. Aiken is probably a good option if you don't want to deal with all that. I knew someone who lived in Fort Mill, SC and commuted to work in Charlotte.
