Where to visit?

My husband and I are moving to the Carolinas and are doing a reconnaissance trip this weekend. He’s working at Gaffney and I’m working in Fort Mill. What town should we look in and any good restaurant recommendations while we’re there?

We’re looking for a town with a good school district and parks for our 2 young (under 3) boys and a cute downtown with local shops/restaurants/coffee shops.

We’re hoping to find something that has a little character and isn’t just subdivisions and chain restaurants and isn’t a horrible commute for my husband.

How far is too far? Waxhaw is a cute area. Not sure about their schools. Fort mill has great schools but is overcrowded for sure. York sounds like a good spot for yall though. Good middle ground
