Thanks

Hi folks. This is 3 mo. since you two posted but I'd like to follow up on Washington Park. I'd love to hear from someone who lives there. Looking to retire. Would love a boat and slip. Not too far from the water. Is it expensive.....a retiree trap?

I live in washington
Washington park is very nice............ BUT,....anytime there is a hurricane which seems to be ever year or two now, it floods, so if you dont mind that it would be nice, AND it is expensive.

I would recommend if your going to come to washington, to specifically ask if the home your looking for is in a flood plane.

Washington would be great place to retire.

if your interested in local real estate prices, go to google and type in therichcompany.com.

Hope that helps!

I was interested in Washington because there is a charter Montessori school there. Is there any area there that wouldn't be flooded (a la Floyd)?

Thanks,
Alice

Thanks astandupguy and alice 61. Wash Park like every town has its good and bad. Others have suggested Morehead, Swansboro, Newport, Bath, Elizabeth City, Rocky Point, Wilmington, Castle Hayne and Hampstead. Any opinions on these?

Spent every vacation last year visiting different sections of inland NC. Will go for the coast next year.

Happy New Years to you both. gary
