There are some incredible cities in South Carolina, and if you add in the fact that the weather is generally always pretty good, and the cost of living is pretty low, it makes sense.

The good people at StudyFinds.org compiled the top 5 cities to live in the Gamecock State (or is it the Tiger State now?), based on recommendations from experts all over the place.
