Is it a pretty quiet area? My husband does not mind traveling a bit for work.

Are you asking about Maysville or New Bern?

I never want to live in Maysville again. I didnt like it at all.

New Bern is as quiet as any other small to medium sized city.

Just want to jump in and say I am taking avid notes on this thread! My husband and I are also looking to relocate to NC, ideally coastal or near the coast since we are coming from Miami.
