hanks for joining us online. We’re glad you’re here!
What’s more exhilarating than contemplating a change in venue? The Carolinas offer
you some pretty exciting options for changing careers, lifestyle and the scenery outside
your front door.
This Website has one purpose: to help you make a good decision by showcasing all the
best things we’ve found since picking up roots and
landing here in 1983 (via Minnesota, Berkeley, Westchester, Tallahassee,
Honolulu, Manhattan, D.C., Denver, St. Louis and Chicago).
Since 1986, nearly 11
million people have relied on
both
CarolinaLiving Guide
and this Website as resource links to better life and times.
Some start in the mountains, and end up in the valleys, like Pat and Bob Porter
who rented a home for several weeks at a time to experience the culture before
building a home at a Cliffs Community.

thers, like Bill and Denise Gower, knew
they wanted the coast. They simply drove and stopped and looked, then drove
some more, until they found the perfect place to fulfill their destinies in Georgetown,
SC.
As you explore, we say, have fun, take your time. Stay in B&Bs. Or take the plunge
and pamper yourselves at the Pinehurst Resort, the Grove Park Spa (Asheville)
or Charleston Place
Hotel and Spa (the Holy
City).
Savor the cuisine that builds from our ancient local delicacies, and incorporates
treasured flavors from exotic origins. (Elsewhere on this site, you’ll find
favorite Carolina
recipes.)
Visit the churches and synagogues. Take in a festival (there are hundreds).
Talk with the locals (they’re just naturally friendly, these Carolina folks).
Subscribe to the papers
(NC and SC). Plan several visits. Consider whether you want
to buy land, a small farm, a vacation home, or investment property. Take
your time! Review and reset your priorities. Explore lots of residential communities.
It’s a big decision!

How do we find the information you need to make the best relocation or retirement decision?
Well, although we’ve had a fair share of moving experience and have spent
25 years helping families
like yours find their perfect haven, it takes more than that.
We use writers who know the Carolinas, professionals who lend their talents to us as well as finicky
publishers like Forbes, Time, New York Magazine, USA Today, The Washington Post, Business Week
and The San Francisco Chronicle. Some have Pulitzer Prize nomination credentials.
What’s most important is to make sure you get insightful, time-saving information linking you to
places that match your lifestyle objectives. We call it the Carolina “red carpet” treatment.
A big thanks goes to our governors,
Nikki Haley and Bev
Perdue, for sanctioning this private sector-funded project.
They join us in the root mission: to have the Carolinas be a great place to visit, live, grow, do business,
work and retire ... today and for the next 100 years.
One last tip as you land here: Get ready to relax from the frantic pace of elsewhere. Pull out the
Bermuda shorts. Break in a pair of Topsiders. Get to know your neighbors. Respect the local culture.
That way, they’ll respect yours. Assimilation will go better.
All the best for a smooth Carolina transition.
