any advice on a good area??... 
we are planning to do our own research (and maybe a few trips) but would love any insight anyone can offer!! |
You should at least drive through the Crystal Coast area. One of the few spots still seeing significant construction is Jacksonville. You might want to check the
Jacksonville paper to see if there are jobs that fit.
You could easily live along the Crystal Coast and your husband work in the Jacksonville area. The schools are very good in Carteret County. There are plenty of rentals. There are always waitress opportunities in the area.
Check
my blog for more info on the area.
Good luck.
