Hi...

I have an opportunity to move with my company to NC. I must reside in Wake/Durham/Orange/ or Johnston County. Which would be the most affordable area with the best schools? We would need a large house and large yard (family of 6). We like woodsy areas with nice parks, reasonable drive to shopping, etc. That's about it!

Thoughts?

What is your budget? Ideal lot size? Desired amenities?

Most affordable would be Johnston County in my opinion. Riverwood school district is very good as well as a few others. It may be a bit too far to commute if you are working in RTP. Least affordable would probably be Orange County.

You could certainly find what you're looking for in northern Durham...especially north of I-85 and along the Eno River close to the Orange County line.

Default CH is not the only town in Orange County

there is also Hillsborough, which might suit your needs.
