Place to live

I want to move to a place close to the water. Somewhere between Cape May and Jacksonville, FL.

Any suggestions?

 

Bermuda

 

Well ... that narrows it down SLIGHTLY ...

Brunswick County, NC - Between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach. Like Wilmington until I recall how often hurricanes touch down either directly or close enough to still sustain damage and flooding.

Georgetown, SC - About halfway between Myrtle Beach and Charleston. Big enough not to feel isolated, yet small enough not to feel too urban.

Charleston, SC - A nice place if you can afford it. Not at all crazy about the Lowcountry as a whole, but Charleston is an oasis in the region. Fair warning: Similar to Wilmington, can be subject to plenty of hurricane/tropical storm touchdowns.

My stepfather's sister relocated to Delaware to get away from winters where she's from in Western New York and later Syracuse. Haven't been there, but sounds like a nice place and there might be places that won't be too terribly pricey.

Liked my trips to the Outer Banks, but hurricane touchdowns would be a concern. Not to mention that anywhere near Cape Hatteras, evacuations would be a way of life late in the summer, and N.C. 12 usually ends submerged with any storm of note. Put it this way ... they usually keep heavy equipment to rescue 12 from the waves of sand, silt and other natural issues. Interpretation: Nice vacation spot, but let someone else deal with year-round headaches.

Lived a little south of Jax/Duval County for eight months. Would not recommend.

Surely someone can help with the Hampton Roads area.

Anyway ... dunno how serious you were. Hope something here helps.

 

Jacksonville is a f****** pit of a city. Jackdonvillr beach is very nice, but I wouldn't live in Jacksonville if you gave me $10 million. And I seriously mean that.

 

If you want to live near the water someplace beautiful, tropical and affordable, I'd send you over closer to Pensacola.

That whole stretch around Gulf Islands National Seashore from Perdido Key to Walton Beach is pretty great.

 

Yeah, and remember that if you want to be closer to the water, don’t worry — the water’s going to get a lot closer to you this century.

 

I've got some animal who keeps pooing right next to my nerd cave window every night.

Monges down on the remaining apples and pears in the yard and marks its territory in short order.

 

I've heard Savannah is paradise.

 

Expensive.

 

Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms or Sullivan's Island, S.C. Have visited/stayed a week there twice and it was beautiful. Probably somewhat spendy.

 

Go Left Coast.

San Diego.

 

I'd kill for that. Honestly, that's the only way I could afford San Diego (or anywhere in California) would be to kill for that.
