Our kids also didnt want to think about moving again ; we moved within long island two years ago.
Two days after we got back from NC, my youngest begged taht we go there to live. They just loved it. My oldest is fine as long as he has espn ; and he was the one who didnt want to move at all. They are 6&7
We go back in two weeks

Thanks for the incouragment. Big change in culture not only the southern thing but the East Coast thing. Like Terri said, we want to move for a better quality of life and Washington State as beautiful as it is just ain't cuttin it.Look forward to hearing your stories as you transition!!
We have a son that will be 11 this week and our daughter will be 13 next month. Have your kids been there? Mine were not all that excited about it until they went to visit then they didn't want to return with the exception of them missing our dogs. They really like it. They are excited since we told them that we'd most likely buy a little family boat for the lake. Since we don't have that many bodies of water in the desert, they thought that was extra cool. With you being in Washington State, it may look somewhat similar, but with us, it's a world of difference.
We would like nothing more than a lakefront place, but it's a little too rich for our blood, however, we plan to be close (i.e. accross the street or a lake access neighborhood) The area is beautiful and has some of the best schools around. I was very impressed with that and it's a major factor for our decision. From what I have found, kids at first resist change, but they really do better then adults and they are very resilient, however, each family and person is different.
Take care and write if you'd like to know more.

Lake Norman is like the ocean for us, right Terri. If you end up across the street from the lake or lake access you better turn me on to that neighborhood. I don't want to go over 300,000 though.

Just like CharlotteAgent indicated, you CAN get in under 300K in a lake access neighborhood, but you can't get a new build from what we are finding. At this point, we don't care, we'll take an older home even if it needs a little updating. It's a difficult trade as the new ones are SO nice, but the location just can't be beat if you plan to spend time on the lake. :-) I'm sure CharlotteAgent can tell you the secret or PM me...just don't buy the one I have my eye on...OK?
Yep, lots at about .4 acres in Cornelius on the lake are listed for around
$650K and thats just the lot.
Too rich for my blood........
