Well for the first time in my life, I have been seriously considering leaving NJ.
Hey just because my parents chose this state doesnt mean I have to live here the rest of my life.
Anyway - we have friends of ours that have been talking about going down there for years, and they just got back and put a deposit on a place in Indian Trail (outside Charlotte, I think?)
Part of me is considering Charlottle for a few reason - and please feel free to correct me since Im a noob -
Is it true that the CHarlotte area is in between the coast and the mountains?
Are the properties in the area generally 'flat'? Are they at all floodprone?
I am scared to death of going anywhere near the coast - hurricanes and all - although I do know that any 'cane that comes in the state will get a ton of rain.
I am just tired of the cost of living, my commute, and how expensive it is here in NJ. Looking to lower my mortgage, and possibly make enough so my wife doesnt have to work, or work full time, so she can watch over my two young girls (ages 3 and 1). Plus I love gardering and fishing, and moving south would allow me to do both for a longer period of time (even if it involves cutting my grass more often, as long as my land is flat, lol)
My dream is something on a 1/2 acre or maybe more, would loove a lakefront or lake community, providing the house is on a level lot. Does anyone know such type communities near the Charlotte area?
When I do a search on the properties available for what Im looking at undering 275k, Im getting all giddy. But just thinking about it I get scared to death.
Are we better off doing this sort of move while the girls are still young, before they start school? Well duh I guess it is.
Anyway sorry for rambling on - been reading up on some posts and they have been very informative - thank you!

Sounds like you need a trip to "The Bass Pro Shop"! I hear Indian Trail is really nice, yes outside of Charlotte. Check out Tega Cay and Lake Wylie. May be on the SC/NC boarders. SC is also lower taxes.
