There are a LOT of librarians in the Triangle so there may be fierce competition for that job. If it's been offered to you you should really consider it. UNC has an excellent school of library science and I know a bunch of people with MLS degrees.
Thank you. Definitely noticed the amenities. That made me pretty happy. COL, to me at least, should at least include some amenities...this area claims the beach is one, but locals can't get to it because of the tourists, etc. :/
When I went to Hilton Head 20 years ago, I remember the ocean water being brown, murky, and full of sticks and tree branches.
I don't know if it's always that way, but I think the ocean water in NC is clearer, and bluer almost turquoise in the summer with polarized sunglasses on.
-I'm already not a fan of Bluffton/HHI because of the *massive* amounts of transplants here- who keep moving here- and the *massive* amounts of tourists on top of that. We basically have a city population in a small town infrastructure, and the whole area is broken because of that. Also way overpriced, and crime has gotten pretty bad. So, looking for lower COL, safer areas, and way more amenities than the small amount my family has now.
...I've been reading that the Triangle is also seeing rapid growth, which doesn't bother me unless there's a crazy amount of tourism/snowbirding on top of that.
If transplants and snowbirds are an issue for you, scratch the Triangle off your list.
If you don't want to live in a place chock full of Northern transplants, then don't move to the Triangle. I swear, it's like somebody punched a hole in the time/space continuum and let all the yankees flow in. My still-under-construction neighborhood has 3 (yes, 3) families from the South. All the rest are from NJ (including the lady 2 doors down with Jrz Grl as her custom NC plate), NY, New England, or Ohio. I think there's a Wisconsite in there as well. Literally no one local and only 3 of us Southerners. My neighborhood is pretty typical of new development.
Would you recommend anywhere else to possibly live in the Triangle? Or would you say to avoid it and go to Greensboro/Winston-Salem?
I really like the vibe of Greensboro. If I was moving to the area today that's probably where I would go.
