MCHinson Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I can say that the car hobby is alive and well here in Southeastern North Carolina. House prices have shot up quite a bit here, but we still have plenty of people moving here. Wilmington is a hot real estate market with many people relocating here over the past few years. Traffic is worse than it used to be but nothing to compare to a lot of other places. There are other smaller towns in the area which would probably be great choices if you are seeking a smaller town. I would recommend visting several areas to see how well they match what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Mark, Aiken is about 80 miles from Beaufort, 2 hours from Atlanta, savannah, and Charlottesville, 20 miles from Augusta. So access to larger cities without the hassle is good. Housing cost went up for a while but have still been reasonable. Our place is 2400 sq ft, 3 bed, 2 1/2 bath on a 1/4 acre in a gated golf community for under $300k. As far as the car community check the AACA chapters I believe there is one in Greenville or very near it. Closest to me is about 50-60 miles I believe. As far as getting the cars down here if you have a pickup rent a car trailer from haul. Then what I did was put the car in a storage garage for a month before we closed on the house. We made a few trips doing that but we were a lot closer than you are in MN. Good luck and maybe we will see each other at some event. dave s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avgwarhawk Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Maryland is not a bad state to retire. There has been some moves to stop taxing retires for certain things. If I would recommend what area of MD to retire it would be the eastern shore and or western MD. Plenty of destinations to drive your car and enjoy. Always a handful of cars shows and cruise in every weekend. Car clubs abound. Edited March 18, 2022 by avgwarhawk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
