What it’s like to live in Shandon
Academic energy buzzes near the University of South Carolina's historic Horseshoe. Renters score antebellum mansions converted to apartments but face gameday parking chaos during SEC football weekends. The hidden gem? Free summer concerts at the never-crowded Maxcy Gregg Park.
