The roads mainly in these areas are 2 lanes which have caused a lot of wrecks mostly with deaths! The new Farmers Market out there is a great disappointment. The drive is too far to most shopping and other grocery stores with 1 dominating (Piggly Wiggly). Gas guzzlers can't make it out there and travel to where the best shopping went to: Harbison and North East areas and Lexington. As for schools, only Pelion is in a GREAT school district. The rest of the schools are in need of much assistance. Lexington School District #1 should consolidate them to have top educational opportunities for ALL Lexington #2-4 students. Otherwise; this is a very poor area and an over abundance of mobile homes empty or for rent with South Congaree being the worst of all. People before this Great Recession couldn't afford anything else. It is imperative that areas once good shopping places with malls should be revitalized when they left St. Andrews off Bush and Broad River Roads to deteriorate and have to shop in Harbison or Sandhills areas or the rich bedroom community of Lexington, the town. If it involves the lake (Murray), it sells. That is where the schools go and businesses. Then it became the location of Lake Carolina . Realtors send people to those areas while every where else just goes down the drain. Downtown around Elmwood Park and areas use to be run down until cultural activities brought the rich country folk from Harbison near the Lake tired of all the traffic for work. You need to tell it like it is and not all the glamour and glitz that is NOT where you are trying to push for development or how nice it is to be far out in this economy. It's NOT fun and expensive to live from amenities if one can afford these areas away from your thoughts of what makes a good area to live, work, and play!
