Joe's Story
Life
It's been 4 years since I've moved to South Carolina.
I live in a town called Bluffton,It's just 10 miles east off of I-95 at exit 8 It's a small town but quickly growing with a lot of people moving into this area.
If you love the sunshine,beaches,golfing,and restaurants there are plenty of places to go.Its now mid January and its still in the upper 60's.I'll be moving into my new home early February in a gated community called" The Haven".
I still say this is the place to move to for those of you who are tired of dealing with cold winters,high taxes,and high
insurance rates for Auto and Homeowners. I am about a half hour from Savannah,GA ,and an hour
from Charleston,SC,four hours from Orlando,Fla.
