I'm hoping many of you can help me. Hubby and I are looking to move towards the Burke county area. We're currently in Charlotte, but really hate it here and things have not worked out as we had hoped, so we are looking to move closer to family & hopefully to cheaper rent/cost of living.
Somewhere on that side of that state around Marion, Morganton, Hickory, etc. What is rent like for a 3 bed/2 bath house? Are there many private rentals or just ones listed with companies, etc?
Cost of living (average) and cost of gas (average)? How's the job market over there (in general?)
If you have any contacts with real estate that could send me lists of rentals in the area I would appreciate it. We are looking to try to move by the end of summer, possibly sooner.
Anything else we should know or consider? Schools are not an issue as we plan to home-school (and she's only 2 mo right now). Oh, doctors/chiropractors/dentist/pediatricians--recommendations?
