Mizseeker, Hello! I really did love my property in Pittsboro. About Carnivor Preserve Trust- the doctor who started that program is deceased. Since his death the Trust has struggled financially. They have been cited several times for deficient enclosures. I would not allow my daughter to work there. JMO. I think they want to do a good job, but just do not have the money. The sluggish economy is not helping them at all. Asheboro is about 45 minutes from there (as you know I suspect), and perhaps your daughter could work at the zoo.
If I wanted to buy property in that general area I would go to Saxapahaw. Goldston is much cheaper if you can tolerate the long commute. Chapel Hill is very expensive. Graham is very reasonable.

I love Pittsboro. Not sure what issues you are referring to as "corruption" but, after so many years in Chicago, my standards may be pretty low. Taxes are OK, and I can't speak to schools. But Saxapahaw also has a lot of fabulousness.

Thank you!! I've seen changes in the Pittsboro area - including CPT - just from the time we started volunteering back in the day and now. I still like the overall feel but I don't know anymore. I was looking at Goldston but did have issues with the commute and have also started too look at Saxphahaw and alamance Co.
I'm working so many hours, I don't have time to think much less look at land/houses. Considering how worried I am about making the wrong choice - as this is suppose to be my "retirement" home (HA) - I'm frozen in indecision. AND my first grandchild is due within the next couple of weeks and my son and his wife have said hinted that it would be nice to have me closer to them (Knightdale). And our friends in the city are already saying - you can commute in and visit 'cause no one will find you in the boondocks - SIGH - no easy answers. I'm serious craving fresh tomatoes ....need to start dropping by the farmer's market more .... thank you for the help!!! I guess sooner or later, I'l have to make the plunge!  Martha

want rural area near Catawba
We live in CT and its getting to expensive here for us.
We have family in Charlotte but that is just to congested for us. My father in law just moved to Catawba and we would want to be no further than an hours drive from that. We homeschool so schools are not an issue. Just want a nice community with stores 30 min away. Any suggestions. Thanks I really like Mickey's description of where he lives in Sampson county but that is far from Catawba.
