whats raeigh like? the tv network has been showing some of the city cause of the cup finals. it looks pretty nice.
it would be nice to go see game 7 tonight

 

Nice place, but not as cool as Charlotte or with as much to do.

 

City...ditto
Life...ditto
Taxes...7% income and sales tax!!
Beach...best in on the East Coast
Weather...ditto...minus hurricanes
Schools...dunno
real estate...getting expensive, but not for relos
Cuisine...can't get a pizza or curry to save your life
JOBS...better be in medicine!

 

$180/sq ft !!!

Holy Crap!!!

You must have that thing blinged out to the max to be paying that much!!!

 

I think he's including the cost of the acre lot.

 

So am I... I live in NC, and am quite familiar with building costs (although, not lot costs, so if he's on the water, that may be a different story).

 

Raleigh is a cool town too, it caught more of the real estate boom than Charlotte IMO, good locations are expensive... Raleigh and Charlotte are completely different places... Charlotte is built around the center city, which is a huge financial services hub (although you hardly hear anything about that) and Raleigh is east of Research Triangle, which is where most of the jobs are. If you think about the entire Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary and smaller Holly Springs, Apex etc...) you really have one giant city surrounding RTP.

Chapel Hill is really nice place too... some of the best real estate in NC is there...

Oh and if you like College basketball... you can't beat living in the Triangle, it's the college basketball capital of the world. Go Canes... big game 7 tonight

 

I have a place outside Lake Lure in the Mountains.....Counting down the when, not IF i make it my permanent residence...

Rutherford County is very cheap and the perfect getaway to the traffic and heat of Florida.

 

A alternative would be to move here to Santa Barbara and be Oprah's neighbor. The median price of a home in Santa Barbara is now....................drumroll......................$1.25 million. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!! But true.
