Safe, inexpensive quiet place for a single to heal?
I'm 58, female, entirely alone with my dogs. I am a former CEO and a massive white collar crime victim. All of my assets were stolen. I am surviving on Social Security Disability. I am living in my NJ condo that I have sold and the closing will be on October 29th. I want to heal in a newer (so as not to take on repairs) 2000+ square foot home with some charm and a minimum of one acre so as to avoid dog-hating neighbors. I envision it smelling of home made soup as I surround myself with fleece and flannel and do some writing. My needs are simple: a good supermarket, competent veterinarian and decent library. I have looked carefully at Pennsylvania but it appears to be too expensive and taxes are very high. North Carolina is appealing but, too, seems to be more costly than practical in my circumstances. Areas surrounding Greenville South Carolina offer me everything I need but I would be giving up my entire support system in the east. It would be just wonderful to purchase in New York State for not more than $200k. I very much wish to avoid HOAs. Can anyone suggest the best places for me to consider? I like winters, am friendly and get along with most folks everywhere. I want to avoid splits, bi-levels, lack of privacy, any area where I risk a neighbor hating my dogs. I need some degree of charm in the house... not the wood paneled, popcorn ceiling type but more the granite kitchen, open layouts are appealing. Thank you much for any and all info that may accurately guide me....
