The latest weather up north has many of us thinking about warmer climates. And although the interior areas of the Carolinas are about to be whacked by this latest snowstorm, count on the snow melting away there by the middle of next week.
The state of Florida is hot, in the market sense, as baby boomers have picked up a renewed migration fever for the Sunshine State. But if you look at migration figures over the last five years, you will see both Carolina states ranked in the top 5 for popularity.
For the last two years, I have been contributing golf-related articles to CarolinaLiving.com. By virtue of the web site's target and my assignment, most of the articles have a decidedly Carolina theme. What is especially noteworthy about the two Carolina states is that you have your choices of a golf home in the mountains or on the coast, or somewhere in between. Overall, most of the customers we have helped relocate over the last six years have found their homes on the course in one of the two Carolina states.
If you have any thoughts of relocating to either North or South Carolina, check out my articles in Carolina Living's golf lifestyle section. While you are on the site, I encourage you to browse the many features Pat & Leyla Mason, the co-founders, have posted there, including: A directory of day trips in the two states; articles on Carolinas cuisine and recipes that capture the indigenous tastes of coast and mountains; and literally dozens of other articles that appeal to a wide range of interests (birding in the Carolinas, anyone?)
Of course, if you are thinking of moving to the Carolinas or anywhere in the Southeast, please contact me and I will be pleased to offer suggestions about which areas and specific golf communities will best match your requirements. And if you aren’t quite sure yet what your requirements are, I’m happy to help you figure that out in order that you might find that dream home on the course.
As we write this, it is 63 degrees and raining in Okatie, SC, home to the golf community of Callawassie Island. No snow is in the forecast.
