How do I like living here? Actually, it’s pretty good. I was born here and lived here until I went in the military. When I got out, I got a job that eventually sent me to San Diego where we lived for 30 years. When we were convinced that the housing market was going to take a big hit, we sold our home and our rental and moved back here in May of 2005. Our plan was to eventually move back to San Diego when prices bottomed out but the longer we live here, the more we’re leaning towards just staying here permanently. I retired in my mid 50’s so having to live any specific place in order to work is not something I had to worry about. Houses are reasonably priced and we didn’t have a housing bubble like SoCal.
We miss certain things about San Diego and I’m not fond of the three hot months that we have during the summer but we live right at the foot of the Smoky Mountains so we get a cool breeze just about every day of the year.
If prices fell far enough in San Diego, it might persuade us to take a hard look at returning but for now, this is not a bad place to live and the overall cost of living is dirt cheap when you compare it to California.
I had moved here in 98 and went back to Atlanta for a year 2006-2007 and came back. I just couldn’t get use to the big city rat race and the hot weather.
My second wife was from Charlotte and we use to go up there all the time to visit. Her grandparents lived in Marion NC and they had a farm on Little Buck Creek.
I will probably move to your area sooner or later in a few years. Glad that you like it.
