My boyfriend and I are talking about someday escaping the high cost of living and cold winters of NY and moving down to South Carolina. We've recently become obsessed with the town of Aiken, SC in horse country. We figure for the price of our 2 bedroom apt in Manhattan we could afford a historic house with lots of land and live with kids, horses, dogs and more cats!
Does anyone live in Aiken or know much about it?
Any thoughts on the school system, particurlarly Aiken Prep?
I've been a New Yorker my whole life so worry I might not fit in down South (compared to my boyfriend who's Southern).
But Aiken appeals to me because of the sophistication the horses bring and it was traditionally a winter retreat for wealthy New Yorkers (Astors, Whitneys and Vanderbilts...)
Plus it looks so beautiful!
A nice fantasy to get us through New York winters.....
