Been thinking of moving to NC. All my wife's family are in Missouri but we fancy being closer to the coast line. Can any advise as good area ( not in the sticks) low crime and offcourse quality education for kids ? ta very much

Check out the Raleigh and Cary areas. They are close to the coast with good employment opportunities. If you need help finding a Realtor anywhere in the state let me know!

I am looking for somewhere to live in Raleigh (undecided on area at the moment) Do you know of a Realtor who offers short term rentals? At this rate I am going to have to move in to the company's 1 bed apartment with 2 preteen girls and a toddler!

Just in case you need them again, you could use Graham crackers, or if my addled brain can remember I saw some American knock offs a while ago, I'll let you know if/when I find them again.
If you go to the Indian grocery stores they'll often have reasonably priced Brit food around here, also Whole Foods, Kroger and of course A Southern Season carries some too.

I've just moved to Raleigh (3 weeks ago) Its about 120 mile from the coast. We headed for a day out to Wilmington near the coast which is a nice area but not sure of the employement and work thats down that way though..

Hello scouserwife and all. We've not yet made the leap yet but it's on the cards for midyear. We'll be living in Greensboro, can anyone tell me what it's really like out there?

lisag8070

why is everyone moving to Greensboro now I've left..it's almost feeling personal..

Anyhow, hello Mancmummy I'm originally from Manchester myself and then moved over to Greensboro but back in the UK now, if there's anything you need answers on, just give me a shout and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction..

(p.s. You'll love the place)..

Hiya Mancmummy! I've lived in this area most of my life. I like it here. My husband is from Liverpool and loves it. I'm also a Real Estate Broker (not as bad as an Estate Agent from what I hear in feedback ) so if I can help you in any way just let me know! What brings you here?

Hi,

I've posted elsewhere but thought it would be friendly to say hello in the North Carolina thread.

I moved to Cary at the end of last year with my wife and four children. We're thoroughly enjoying it so far. The first month has been pretty full on - bad journey over, SSN application, driver's license, car buying, health insurance etc - but I sure have learnt a lot about the system! We're hoping to have a little time to enjoy the area now.
