You might look at Davidson, which has a small, walkable downtown and looks somewhat like New England. It has a college, is near a lake and is about 25 miles to downtown Charlotte. It has about 11,000 and a website is here: Welcome to Davidson | Explore Davidson, NC

My idea of shopping is the convenience stores such as Walmart, Walgreens, grocery store and these type of stores. I travel 45 mins to an hour for a decent mall where I live now and do so only for my teenaged daughter. I just live closer to a downtown area now and am spoiled to the conveniences of say, running out of a cooking spice and having a small local grocer right at the corner =)
