Pros + Cons of Aiken, South Carolina

Every area has it’s pros and cons of living there… right? We thought we would share our pros and cons of Aiken, South Carolina.

My CON is the lack of shopping with the bigger type stores since mall has been gone.

That’s funny my PRO is the charming boutiques downtown, I do love shopping locally.

Yes, she does and so do I.  We have a wonderful variety of exceptional stores and shopping opportunites downtown.

Also, don’t forget  the old Aiken mall is starting to take shape and in about a year we should have a destination place to shop, dine, play and live, they say.

Do you think they will call it the “Old Aiken Mall”?

For fun comment below and give us your thoughts on a name. The one with the most likes will get a prize!

Here’s my PRO. It’s central location, ideal for day trips or overnights.

Within 2.5 hours you can be in the coastal areas, mountains or big city life. There’s Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia.

Just 30 minutes away is Augusta, Georgia across the Savannah River. An hour away… Columbia our state Capital. Want to mention the Riverbank Zoo there is really awesome, plus both cities have airports. 

Another point within an hour is 2 large freshwater lakes.

My CON may not be popular to say but we are getting too many of the same type of new developments with smaller lots with similar style built homes.

Are you wanting to see neighborhoods created with larger or maybe acreage sized lots where you have a variety of builders  who can build  there which will provide a more  diversity in style and looks? Yes exactly.  It’s not as profitable but there is a demand for that type of development in my opinion.

So what’s your last  PRO? The friendly people here in the community. There are so many giving, big hearted people here in Aiken.

 

Don’t forget to share your names for “ old Aiken mall” let’s have some fun and laughs with this. We’re just glad to see some progress there!
