Lake Murray, Columbia, SC. It's not New Canaan but it is a nice place to visit
I spent the weekend visiting family in Chapin, South Carolina. They live on Lake Murray which is a large and picturesque lake which is actively used for recreational activities. If you are thinking of visiting, the temperature was 49 degrees at night and 75 during the daytime with dry sunny conditions. Delightful. Chapin is a small town of about 12,000 residents located 20 minutes from downtown Columbia. It is accessed by a small easily accessable airport.. While the average adjusted gross income is less than New Canaan at $78,442, the cost of living is 88% below the national average so it is quite affordable and the median price home is $297,772. The home next door just sold in September 2009 for $680,000. It sold for above the median price because these homes are waterfront. It has a glorious view of the lake and is a large 4300 sq ft brick Colonial home with 5 bedrooms 4 1/2 baths and private dock. This home is under renovation by its new owners and is just being finished.
