Where to live in NC, most affordable, most amenities?

[faabala]

$400-450 a month will get you very little in my area of Cumberland, Hoke, and Harnett counties. They will be small, poor condition, and in not so nice areas. I do property management also and will not take a rental property for less than $800 a month.

Here is a link to the only 10 rentals in the whole Fayetteville MLS in the $400-450 range. That should give you an idea of what to expect.

None are my listings. I'm not soliciting business.

Are rage at this time we can afford would be between the rates of $400 to $540 Per month but not dumps either are place that are full of bugs. Does anyone know of which towns fit this range of prices and that are safe. I know this is a tall order in any state these days but I must try. Thanks. David & Joann

What do you mean by "the northern section of NC"? It's a long, narrow start for the most part; people typcially speak of "eastern" or "western" NC.

What are you moving here for (job, family, etc) and what city/town do you wish to be near? How much do you actually know about NC and its geography, culture, cities, etc? It's really hard to answer such a general question--how would you answer a question like yours asking about "the northern portion of PA?" with no other info?

Of course it is colder by perhaps 5 degrees. The cloudiness may not vary so much. You can get weather details from the main city profile on Caty-data.com .
