We’re looking to get out of Charlotte but stay in NC. It’s pretty sad when we are including the political “lean” of any particular county in addition to the acreage/square footage/number of bedrooms for any future NC house. Personally, I’d just a soon move to West Virginia, but the wife won’t have it...too far from the grand chillins...
Apex, Holly Springs have good home choices. Cary does too but not much land.
Best of luck to you as you try to get out of Charlotte!
