Think twice before you do it and don't.
I've been here 25 years. I can't wait to leave. What was a beautiful, charming, quiet town has turned into a nightmare of hundreds of people moving here every day. Infrastructure hasn't kept up. Nothing but sprawl and more sprawl. Builders knock down anything that looks like a tree and flatten the land into a pancake every time they walk onto a square inch of property. Absolutely no concern for the environment or the creatures that used to live there. New houses are thrown up in five minutes. School teachers are just done and are quitting at an alarming pace. School jobs are available because people are quitting because they are miserable. New people with kids immediately start screaming about the quality of the schools. The State is slam-packed overwhelmed. Mercy! Just mercy. Whatever you are looking for, it's not here. Don't contribute to the further ruination of the natural resources and environment that is being decimated as quickly as possible. Also, if you are a foodie or like eating past 8p, forget it around here. They roll up the sidewalks very early around here. If you get suckered into buying a place in Sanford or Middlesex or similar and your RE agent tells you it's a hop, skip and jump to Raleigh THEY ARE LYING. Traffic is going to be a nightmare once more people return to work. I promise. Yes, I have lived where traffic is a nightmare. I know what that looks like.
