Savannah is also a nice town. It's got a lot of history and and a low cost of living...but then so does Charleston. The cost of living anywhere in the South will be so much lower than you're used to regardless.

Ability to live anywhere? Charleston is nice, but the south sucks IMO. The humidity during the summer is awful. I remember doing a walking ghost tour in Charleston and leaving half way through, because it was like 95* and 110% humidity even at night.
Why not go somewhere awesome, and just take a flight back to Beantown to visit family? Charleston to Boston is not an easy/nice drive. You'll be passing through DC/Philly/NYC traffic on 95.
