I read an article last year where Cary, NC was one of the best places to live in the USA.
They said weather is fairly moderate, it is a good city to live and work in, wages and high and cost of living is low in comparison, lots to do, etc.
For awhile I was thinking that place sounds perfect to raise a family.
Any thoughts on this?
Yeah, this area is called the Triangle. There's an area called RTP (Research Triangle Park). With Raleigh (NC State), Durham (Duke University) and Chapel Hill (University of North Carolina) making up the Triangle. What you read about Cary is correct. There are a lot of NY'ers and some mid-westerners who come down here to escape the harsh winters, and love it. The joke about Cary is that it's actually an acronym (Containment Area of Relocated Yankees). Cary is a nice bedroom community in the middle of the Triangle, so you can work about anywhere. I would agree about the reasonable cost of living. As far as the lots to do, I guess it just depends on what you like. The golf courses are open year round. The area is great for Tech and Medical related jobs.
I also like Wilmington on the coast. It's great, especially if you'd like to live near the ocean. Very laid back; very cool place to live.
Some might like Asheville, NC, which is in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's a progressive place to live. Very green, filled with artisans, people patronize the downtown area a lot; nestled in the mountains, so you still get some snow for your winter if you like that.
I sound like I work for the chamber of commerce, but it is a very nice place to live and raise a family.
