Comments on Wilmington, North Carolina
Hi Bob! My husband and I, age 36, are considering relocating to the NC area. We have two young children (ages 3 and 2) so safety and schools are important to us. Ultimately we would like to be within an hour from the beach or have close access to walking/hiking trails. It is also our desire to be in close proximity to shopping and employment opportunities. I realize that this sounds like alot of requests but are there any places in NC that may have what we're looking for. Thanks in advance for any insight you are able to provide. Warmest regards!
I would look at areas such as New Bern, NC and Beaufort, SC.
These areas are near enough to the beach areas without being right on the water.
You can also look at the small towns like Mooresville and Salisbury outside Charlotte,
because Lake Norman is in the area which is so beautiful it might satisfy your beach need!
Get a copy of my "Ultimate Guide" and read more about them, and other places I've
picked that could fit what you're looking for.
