Climate
There’s a reason why the Northerners keep picking North Carolina to move or retire to. Those harsh winters are something that NC sees very little of and it doesn’t get quite as hot as Florida. Autumn is known for the colorful leaves and Spring offers so many blooms. Many choose to drive on the rolling Blue Ridge Parkway, which is less than an hour away from the Triad.
Locality
One of the greatest things about the Triad is you may seem far from everything, but you’re actually centrally located between two rapidly growing cities, Charlotte and Greensboro. If you are wanting more of that country feel, rather than living in the city, you can always choose to live a little further out for the lower home prices!
More Bang for your Buck
Depending on which website you pull your information from, the median home cost is somewhere between $134,000 and $143,000. If you’ve ever lived anywhere else, this is a phenomenal bang for your buck! Not to mention that this particular area continues to grow, leading one to believe that your biggest investment (your home) could continue to go up!
