The 10 Best Places In North Carolina You Should Move To

I guess we need a list of the 10 best places in North Carolina outside of the triangle 🤣

2922 update on Raleigh: lived here for 37 years. Finally retired and cannot get out fast enough. Huge amount of traffic congestion. Every forested area being developed as fast as the developers can build. Property taxes and utility rates have gone up considerably every year were have been here. Housing market now unaffordable. Houses are being grabbed up at absurd prices by people from New York and California who have the money.

I recently moved from Delaware to Clayton, NC. First thing I noticed was that the people here are so friendly!! I can go into a grocery store and strike up a conversation with a total stranger! And everyone smiles and has manners, unlike the northern states I lived in where you feel like no one acknowledges your existence. I’m so happy to live NC, and will be the place I will take my last breaths!

I just moved back from North Carolina where I worked with the sweetest, kindest most beautiful people I ever had the honor of knowing. Ashe county looked like God hired Bob Ross to create it. Absolutely breathtaking. Now I'm back in the land of Massholes because my wife missed her family too much. I want to climb under a rock and die.

Gotta love how you put all the triangle spots in the list but when you need quality scenery for the B roll you use Wilmington. New Bern, Morehead City, Nags Head, and Asheville absolutely deserves a shout out. Sure the wages might be a little lower than the triangle or Charlotte but the history, natural scenery, culture, etc more than makes up for it when factoring for quality of life

Western NC is the BEST place. There is nothing more beautiful than the Carolina blue sky's over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the sunsets over the mountains are breathtaking! All the people in the small towns and counties in Western NC treat you like they have known you forever and from the first time they meet you they won't forget your name. Low crime and good people can't beat Western NC

I live in NC (Charlotte Area) and I know the Research Triangle area is a very popular place right now, but I feel like you really missed the mark. There are plenty of places outside of the Triangle area other than the three you named that deserve to be of the Top 10 places to live in NC list. Plus I’ve found a lot of the people in the triangle area tend to be less hospitable than the rest of the state minus some in Charlotte.

My friends daughter moved from an upscale Northern NJ town to Cary , our friends loved it so much that they moved to Cary as well. We visited them last summer , and now my husband wants to move to Carey. It is a beautiful and friendly town .

I left my home in the NC mountains after graduating high school. I joined the Marines, served for 30 years, and traveled the world. Even though I saw some beautiful places during my career, none compared (at least to me) to the Great Smoky Mountains. Several years ago my bride and I bought a place in our hometown and are updating the old house. It is not a fast-paced life, and even though the Marine Corps instilled a strong sense of urgency/a lack of patience in me, I am enjoying the slower pace of life and have learned how to relax. Escape the rat race and come join us!

This one is just phenomenal! From the musicians, back singer, and to Kem's interaction with the audience! Magical

This video was both informative & hilarious!

My sister moved to Apex back in 2014; she's so happy she did. Unfortunately, Illinois is a doomed state.

I used to live in Raleigh for 3 months back in 2009. I liked it a lot. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to move away. I wish I still lived there.

Nick, you posted your jingles for download! I am so happy! Thank you!

Lived in Morrisville for 20 years and moved to Cary almost 3 years ago. Love both places. With Morrisville and Cary sometimes it is tough to tell where one begins and the other ends they are so similar.

My town didn't make the list but kind of did...some would say it's practically #6... this was a great vid!

We're retired and just bought a home outside of Selma/Smithfield, which is 30 miles outside of Raleigh. It's rural, people are friendly and the housing market is hot at the moment. Time will tell if we remain happy but coming from Minnesota, a cold, unfriendly state that seems determined to drive away good, sane, sober, moral, and prudent people, I think we will.

There are lots of great towns and cities in North Carolina he didn’t mention

NC is a wonderful place.
