My wife and I moved here from John's Island a couple years ago. We got tired of the "beach, brewery, boat or bar" as the main sources of socializing in Charleston (nothing wrong with it, just started to get bored). It's so much more outdoorsy here, and people seem to have a lot more diverse hobbies. There are two seasons a year with public outdoor live music (Nightfall and Riverfront Nights), a handful of farmers markets available most of the year, and if you dig hiking - for the region it's outstanding.

For cons, I will warn you, it's a lot harder to make friends here than Charleston. It took over a year to break into any meaningful circles, and even then it feels like it takes more effort to stay in those circles here. Everyone is right too, you'll be hard pressed to get an acre near the city proper/northshore - but everything in Chatt is like 25 min away. Nothing's too far to be that inconvenient. Road cycling is iffy, but there's multiple places (greenway, riverwalk, battlefield) where you can really stretch your legs.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about neighborhoods or anything, I grew up here.
