Rick Thompson answered:

Hello Peter,
Knightsdale area is west of where we live in New Bern, but the for the most part, many things are the same. We moved from New Jersey to New Bern, NCV14 years ago. It was the best move we ever made. The kids entered & finished high school here with no problems like their old friends in Jersey had. The weather here is substantially nicer. People are friendlier, cost of living is less, taxes are less. College tuition for residents of NC is substantially less too. This area is experiencing continued growth, so business is good. And the best part? Our family is happy and comfortable. Wish we would have moved earlier. Feel free to contact me anytime if you'd like to discuss our relocation experience. rickthompson1@suddenlink.net - Sun Jan 27 2008, 13:47

Terrific question. Consider what it is that you are really looking for. Do you want to completely change your lifestyle? Is the city too crowded? Winters too cold? Do you have children that will enter college in a year or more? We relocated to North Carolina 14 years ago. There were appealing advantages for us, but everyone is different. The kids were in a less stressful enviroment, college tuition is about 1/3 as out of state, home prices are great, the weather great, winters are much milder. Taxes are incredibly low compared to where we lived in NJ. It's proven to be a great place to raise the kids. Feel free to contact me anytime to ask about New Bern, NC. rickthompson1@suddenlink.net - Sun Jan 27 2008, 13:28
