I live in the Charleston area and I have noticed a lot of people from the Tri-State area moving to SC. The roads are a lot better than Jersey, however the drivers are terrible. The Beaches are a lot nicer than the shore as well. The water is actually warm, not freezing cold. There is diversity but it is still the south, so the southern culture is evident. My wife is Dominican and I am Puerto Rican and we are comfortable living here.

I hope this helps.
