Answer 3
I've lived in both places. Transplanting from NJ to NC is a current, popular move as Charlotte and the surrounding areas are growing and filling with what would be considered affordable, gated communities. For me, community, people and entertainment were all a matter of heading back towards civilization which you can find if you don't mind driving 10 to 20 mins. Malls, movies, outside events, etc. were all great and growing larger to support the influx of the outside world. Should be a good move. There are far worse situations/places to have to move in my opinion. I think you won't be disappointed. Most people that I know are making this move as a reaction to cost/quality of living and job opportunities.

Answer 4
STOP!!! Don't move to NC. Wake county or any other county especially Perquimans and Chowan counties. ( I still own property in NC and I don't think I will ever be able to sell it) This state is awful I moved there 6 years ago and regret it. The people are back woods. yea they seem sweet and friendly at first but then wooffffff out comes the greed.Not to say the school systems is very bad. My son was reading on a 2nd grade level in Kinder-garden in VA when I left to move to NC. The teachers in the system were not teaching him to progress. They didn't promote his advanced knowledge. When we moved he began to excel again and now is doing excellent! I left there and moved to Vero Beach FL. I Love it here! People are normal and they have a great school system!!!! Lots of shopping and things for the kids to do. Florida is great I have been here for two years now and you can get allot of home for a little money right now. I love Vero Beach its the place to be!
