Do not forget to consider the costs of having, maintaining, and driving a car - since this is not something you are currently doing when naming a price range for rent
A little background info about me. As the titled stated I am a single mid twenties female with interests in relocating. I presently live in bustling NYC, but have lived in the small (but cold!) city of Boston, and I grew up in the boondocks of Maine. So I have had experiences from both ends of the spectrum. However, now I want to find something in the middle, but with plenty of energy and liveliness.
I have a stable career in health insurance that I can take with me when I move, because I work from home. North Carolina was suggested to me as a place to live as a close friend lives near Raleigh. I am wondering which city and neighborhood would be best to live in? I've been leaning more so towards Raleigh.
I do not own a car, but assume I will need to have one when I move. I also plan to rent when I relocate, with a budget of around 1000 +/-. As you can imagine, after living in NYC for a year I would like to live somewhere affordable and save my money for something bigger.
I hope some of you can help me out. I've been researching on my own, and would like to hear from the locals perspective. I have narrowed is down between moving to CT or NC. However, the affordability, safety, and weather of NC is very alluring.
Also if you have any helpful information or advice that would also be appreciated!
Thank you!
I'm relatively new to Hashing, but I can give you at least a little insight to the local kennels.
The most active kennel is Sir Walter's H3 (http://www.swh3.com/). They hash every weekend, plus on the full moon, and in the warmer months, also on Monday nights. This group has a blend of younger and older hashers.
The next-most active kennel is Carolina Larrikins H3 (http://www.carolinalarrikins.com/). They hash a couple of times a month, plus special events. While I've not been on one of their hashes before, a good number of them join the SWH3 hashes. My impression is that this has a younger, more rambunctious crowd. Not saying that's a bad thing.
There's a third H3 in the area, Triangle H3 (https://www.facebook.com/TriangleH3), but I've only heard of it through word of mouth, and it seems to have infrequent hashes (excepting an Annual Midsummer Night's Hash). With the exception of the AMNH, I get the impression that it's hashes are geared to a less rambunctious crowd - cookouts as an On-After, for example.
