My husband, toddler and I recently moved from California to the seacoast of New Hampshire. My husband is having a really hard time because he's been an ocean man his whole life and the surf here isnt as good as we thought it may be. Fortunately, he works remotely so we can live anywhere as long as he has a phone and computer.

My question is how is the surf in NC? What areas of NC are good for surfing?
Also, would you consider NC a good place to raise children? How are the schools, cost of living, crime rate...? Which neighborhoods are considered really good and which should we stay away from?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

If your only area of interest in North Carolina is being near the beaches, you will find better (more targetted) threads in the NC Coastal Forum.

Questions like "How are the schools, crime rate?" etc are impossible to answer at the statewide level in a state of 9 million people. There are great schools and bad ones; high-crime areas and low-crime areas. Can you narrow it down some? And it would take forever to list "good neighborhoods" for the whole state--again, can you narrow it down to a specific area? What is your reason, other than surf, for looking at NC in the first place?
