if you come south go urban stay near big citties - 8/23/2015
originally from Long Island, NY. Thought southern hospitality was real, found out not for northerners. We went suburban big mistake, we are not religious, no kids. The Home owners Associations are crazy, it is like living with in a dictatorship. A woman I know living here 20 years finally gets to be called a transplant. All you hear is have a blessed day which I have been told is their ways of saying F-U. They think all the northerners coming down are ruining their culture. Churches run every thing, sports, daycare, and we even have to vote in churches. No separation of church and state here. My husband has joined town clubs only to be insulted or ignored. I want to move back north, but because our development allowed the third section to be built 60 grand cheaper we can not go yet. Four years of a nightmare still

would like some advice on NC & SC - 2/19/2015
hello
We live in Maine and are looking to find a place in NC or SC. We plan to spend Jan- March there and possibly retire there later on. We hope to rent the house on the months we are away and will need a good local rental company.We are open to multiple locations, but want to be w/in 10-15 minutes to the beach in a safe area and need AT LEAST .5 acre with a bit of privacy for a pool, dogs and kids, and we would like to avoid outrageous community fees and taxes ( and not on the any water please - as we would like to avoid the aquatic wildlife from coming into the yard:). We do not care about the school systems, as we haven't really found any that are great and so we homeschool. We are starting to look at Wilmington and st. helena island areas right now. We want a place that will have decent rental potential. We know there are negatives to any location, so please do not respond to this with reasons not to move there. We love Maine but it is super expensive and the winters

Mountain Island Day School - 1/21/2015
Someone keeps taking down my reviews???? I wonder who that could be? Tammy and Tom?
This school has teachers removing anything that is not positive about the school. It is unbelievable to me what they will go through to hide the truth. Do your homework before going to this

It really is less expensive here - 12/16/2014
If you're thinking of leaving your "big city" and moving to NC, you couldn't pick a nicer place, honestly. This is the one southern state that is welcoming to "transplants". If you go to Georgia or South Carolina you won't get as good of a reaction, but North Carolina has a good history of accepting people from other places once they get to know you.
I know, we have a high tax rate, but you actually get some services for that tax rate. Many counties have a lower homeowner tax rate, if you live in the county and stay out of the city limits. If you don't mind driving 10 extra minutes to go shopping, you'll find yourself getting a much better deal on taxes. However, those taxes provide you with essential services - so keep that in mind.
If you choose to live in the cities of North Carolina:
You have more expensive housing, but typically better schools (this does not necessarily apply to small towns), they require a higher tax rate, but your 911 response

Fayettenam earned it name. - 7/14/2014
I don't recommend moving to anywhere in NC. If you absolutely have to, Wilmington is probably the best place to do so. I have lived in "Fayettenam" all my life, native, and have been to almost all areas surrounding. I have seen the degradation first hand. Stay away if possible. I work in a public office and can tell you first hand, Fayetteville has the worst crime rate per capita on the east coast and is worsening daily. Yes even worse than NY. NC, especially Fayetteville, has a gang problem but the worse thing is, they don’t want to admit it. I am trying to get out, but made the mistake of staying too long. Fayetteville is a black hole; and if you do your research you’ll see that’s not the only time you’ll hear it.
