All,
Recently retired fairly early and still based in Northeast Broward County for the foreseeable future, but these Summers after 50 plus years in Fort Lauderdale and now Pompano Beach are not the least bit enjoyable any longer. We have spent some time in the westernmost portion of North Carolina and we also spent a little time in Charlotte and the Triangle area. That all said, we’re planning a scouting trip in the not too distant future to look at possible landing spots in North Carolina.
We want to avoid the coastline because we have had our fill of tropical storm and hurricane threats, particularly over the past 15-20 years.
I would love a property that we could simply lock and leave, so that would likely be a loft/condo or townhouse. I would really like to be near civilization with walking opportunities to restaurants, breweries, and the like. We also would like to explore some golfing, hiking and periodically hit the casinos at either Cherokee or Murphy. Asheville checks a lot of boxes, but downtown properties look very inflated. Are there any smaller towns or cities in central or western NC that check those aforementioned boxes and warrant a visit? Thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions.
Sincerely,
Sweating in South Florida
