Please, educate me so I don't write off an area from lack of knowledge. Your pros and cons are appreciated![/QUOTE]

We bought a couple years ago and are up in mulberry Grove. We love riding in our carts with a nice breeze. 20 minutes to SS, 30 minutes to Sumter and 45 to brownwood. We even head down to fenney grill on occasion for a nice lunch. When we go to first responders to play putt putt I often notice nobody is using the pickleball courts, which is not what I hear from posters in the south. In the north I feel young (58/55) and in the south I feel old. We are only part timers, and when/if I ever get to retire full time I probably will change to a bigger house but don't see moving below Sumter. Lots of shopping and dining up in the north, and a lot less traffic.
