I've been intrigued lately by what I'll call the South Atlantic states.* It seems to be a pocket of population growth, high quality of life and affordable home prices.* I'm thinking primarily of VA, NC, SC and GA.* Some of northern FL could be lumped in this group I suppose.* I've heard people refer to the "Partial U-Turn" some retirees from the Northeast do when they relocate for better climate, etc.* They go to FL, find they miss some seasonal variation and end up in the Carolinas.*
I know there are some CA equity refugees out there who relocated to this region, some who are from there and some who relocated from other areas.* What, in your opinion, are the pluses and minuses of your location?
Here's the small group of cities I've investigated a little:* Charlottesville, VA; Richmond, VA; Raleigh-Durham, NC; Charlotte, NC; Columbia, SC; Charleston, SC; Savannah, GA; Athens, GA; Atlanta, GA.
As pleasant as VA is, it's a bit too far north and chilly in winter for me.* But Charlottesville in particular has gotten some nice press.
How is Athens?* Hilly or flat?* Small town thinking or progressive?
How about Charlotte vs. Raleigh-Durham?
Has success spoiled Atlanta?
Any other thoughts?
