We're in the area right now for medical and dental appointments and have been told we'll have to leave before the Masters'.
On another note, one of the reasons we left Aiken County was the taxes. Housing and other costs are reasonable, but property and vehicle taxes will eat your lunch. Check out Kiplinger's tax map and info for retirees.
