Check out Brunswick county, NC. Close to beaches, shopping, airports, and hospitals. A 3 Br would probably go for $200,000, depending on the location. Prices here are affordable, and will only continue to gain in value, because of it's proximity to the ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and Cape Fear River.
They have built some great new communities, and builders are anxious to sell. Then there are rustic little cottages, townhomes that others find appealing. All in all it is a wonderful place to live, work and play. I relocated there from DC, and have never looked back.
Moderator cut: solicitation . Towns to research are Southport, Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Holden Beach, Sunset Beach and Calabash. Good luck and Happy hunting.
