We have been here in southeastern NC for the last 15 or 16 years and it is great. Still have season changes, but really nice weather year round. Now it is snowing today which is VERY unusual for here but normal winters you need a jacket or coat in the morning but you peel it off around noon. Even have a great buy on a retirement home for you too. Take a look at this for only 90K.
Annual property taxes less than $600 (yep, thats not a misprint).
