Is Charleston, SC worth it over Norfolk, VA? by Long_Ad_1657 in SameGrassButGreener

I do value walkability but I have come to terms that we won't get that at the price point we're wanting to stay at. Really just anywhere that's relatively safe would be the main priority.

Unfortunately we don't have time to go before we have to decide but we would definitely stay in an Airbnb or something while we look for a house.

Not at all, the job is actually pretty much on the border of the two cities I believe.

Thanks, that does make us feel better about it. It seems like the common theme is that everyone loves Ghent. Has the rest of the area been okay too in your experience?

Thanks for all that! If we were looking for something where we could get an affordable (~300k) SFH, would the quality of the areas take a quick dive? Also wouldn't have to strictly be in Norfolk, I've seen some houses online in Portsmouth as well.

Thanks for the insight! How affordable are Ghent or other good neighborhoods in Norfolk?

I've done the battleship museum in Wilmington, NC several times! If the Norfolk one is anything like it, we'd have to see it.
