So where in South Carolina is there a Best Place for you?!
So what setting, geography, and lifestyle have to be present to make a place in North Carolina a Best Place for you to live?!
I'm a mountain man myself. I grew up near the ocean and I'm tired of the hot sun and flat scrubby coastal land of the northeast and southeast. So for me, the mountains of western North Carolina are a refreshing magnificent change.
But I'll still tell you about some incredible coastal areas, for those of you who still want to be on the water, and don't forget those pure, crystal clear, cold as ice mountain lakes.
So off to the Mountains…I love the areas of Asheville, Waynesville, Cashiers, and Chimney Rock.More on Best Places To Live In North Carolina

When looking for your best place to live or retire in Charlotte, you need to take into consideration what best fits your budget, lifestyle, and aspirations.
The housing market in the Charlotte area is definitely affected by the economic slowdown, but hasn’t been as hard hit as many other regions of the country and the cost of living remains below the national average (Charlotte 86.1 to US average 100).
The median sales price in popular places to move to like the “street car” suburbs on the south side of the city, Myers Park, Dilworth, Elizabeth, etc., run anywhere from $220,000 to almost $600,000 or more.

So many people pick Wilmington, North Carolina as their best place to live in the Carolinas…WHY?!
Located in the southeastern part of the state, Wilmington is home to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, the U.S.S. North Carolina Battleship Memorial, the Cape Fear Museum, Airlie Gardens, and a large historic district. It is convenient to nearby beaches, and is a relatively short drive from the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill), Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, SC, and the I-95 corridor.
Most of all, people who have found the area’s gentle ways and temperate climate the perfect place to enjoy all the Coastal South has to offer. Brunswick Forest is a residential community of unparalleled beauty, located on US Hwy 17 South. Many say the rapid success of the Brunswick Forest community is due in part to its proximity to the charming historic town of Wilmington, NC.
