Move here in 1994 from Houston, Born in Baton Rouge!
We lived in Apex for 10 years, and been in Cary for 13 years...Cary is nice, we're very close to the airport, close to everything...
Check out 540 Beltline area and study it a bit
You don't want to live in East Raleigh....
Research Park is wedged between RDU airport, Durham/Chapel Hill...
The next big development is happening West of 540 towards Pittsboro.
Apex and Holly Springs are still booming pretty well, Cary is about built out.
North Raleigh is nice, bigger homes but expensive
Inner Belt-line 440 is super expensive older homes...
Average price per sq.ft around here is 150 range
state taxes about 7.25%
Property taxes aren't too bad
hope this helps

Raleigh/Durham area in NC. I've always loved visiting NC, further West though (Blue Ridge Mountains)
If you have a choice, I wouldn't...I lived there a couple years, people are shitheads...the only thing they have in common with other southerners are that they are slower paced.
So you end up in restaurants with crappy waiters longer...
In line-ups with shitheads longer, etc.
Mississippi sucks balls and are slow at everything, but at least they are genuinely polite.

Yeah, another issue...
And the return on that investment is paying only $25 to park at Wilmington beach

North Carolina is great.

From the portion that you quoted, I can't tell if you lived in Raleigh area or in the North Carolina mountains, which was it?

I went to UNC and moved to Florida a few years after graduation and lived there about 20 years and moved to Holly Springs 6 years ago. I really like it. Thought I’d miss Florida more but I don’t.
It’s clean, with educated people, great beer scene, good restaurants in Durham and Raleigh, and pretty easy to get where you want fairly quickly.
When your biggest complaint is that when you go out on Saturday night and neither of the two TVs at the bar is tuned to the SEC football game, it’s not a bad place.
