Wiggins is a small community and has a lot of small town perks. I moved here from the coast in 1999 and I love it! It has a slow pace and is close enough to big cities  More

I've lived in Atlanta and Washington, DC and enjoyed them, but the thing I love most about Wiggins in the location. I'm close to bigger places so I can enjoy the arts,  More
