What is the best place to live in North Carolina?|131545

I_m from New England (Boston) and am sick of the high cost of living and the cold weather. I was thinking North Carolina might be a good place to move to. Ideally I_m looking for a place with reasonable costs of living, warm weather, nice/quiet neighborhoods, and employment opportunities.
Any suggestions in North Carolina?

The Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) is very nice, with tons of jobs. Also the coastal areas near New Bern or Wilmington. If you don_t like the cold, stay away from anything west of Winston-Salem, the winters get nippy in the hills!

I moved here from up north for the same reason.
Franklin Co. is beautiful. Great land available.Not far from anything. Great schools too.
