Listen to our podcast on your favorite listening device "Joyfully Married After"
This video is about us celebrating our 9th year of living in North Carolina.
We discuss the Pros and Cons of living in North Carolina, what our thought process was when we considered the question, should you move to North Carolina?
We looked at the best cities to live in North Carolina. We looked at US Best Places to live, Top 10 places to live in the US, Best reasons to live in the Triangle and many other national lists.
There were a number of factors we considered. The key for us was the strong job market and the many technology companies in the area.
North Carolina, good and bad is what we have embraced. Should you move to North Carolina?Are you a fan of the Blue Devils, the Tarheels, ACC Basketball? Duke vs. North Carolina. These could be reasons for you to live here. We settled on one of the best towns you can live in outside of Raleigh to make our home.
Watch our video and if you are moving to North Carolina, you'll have to make the best decision for you and your family. Good Luck!

    I've lived here all my life, 46 years. I'm an NC State alum, originally from the Greensboro area. Currently Living in the Asheville area. You two hit most of the big stuff correctly. Your pros and cons are a helpful guide to those thinking about moving here. The only thing I would like to give my opinion on is yours about it being boring. I can see why one would say it. NC is more about special interests and entertaining yourself through your own hobbies than seeking entertainment for the most part. If you like outdoorsy stuff, you can be quite entertained. As you two mentioned, you get the full spectrum of living in NC: the mountains, piedmont, and coastal areas. Running, hiking, biking, canoeing... you get it, NC could be a great choice for you. Personally, living in the Asheville area, you get all of the privately owned foodie aspects, culture, beer culture, and outdoor recreational culture. The mountains however, are not a great place to live if you don't secure a professional job prior to moving and can be tough to survive financially. Nice place to visit. Difficult to make a living in the mountains. High, white collar jobs exist, but they tend to pay less due to all the people opting for the beautiful area. I suppose the coastal region is quite the same. Fun to visit, difficult to find a good job.

    Great video! I find it strange that you're bored in the Raleigh area. I find so much to do in Raleigh (coming from NYC / NJ). I guess it all depends on what you're into. I take advantage of the natural surroundings, lakes, trails, music venues, bars, restaurants - so many eclectic places to eat: Cowfish in North Hills for example; state fair, peacefulness. I've never been bored in NC. I absolutely love it here. About to purchase a second home in Wendell, that might seem a bit boring, but Raleigh is only 20 mins. away.

Bars and restaurants aren't "entertainment" in our lifestyle. Our home backs up to a path that connects us to a larger trail. Great amenities in the town we live in, which we've come to expect. Just noting that this area is much slower.

It’s roughly a 40min commute for me to Morrisville, NC and couldn’t be happier. I will say the traffic on 54 in Morrisville is horrible. City BBQ is really good as well.

I live in North Raleigh, I will say this Raleigh is "NO" Atlanta,NYC,L.A. or Miami when it comes to tons of stuff to do Lol, but it's come a very Long way Raleigh has a very active nightlife and music scene now with alot of districts Glenwood South, Fayetteville St. the warehouse District and Hillsborough St, North Hills Midtown District it's a growing area and stuff is coming but if your not from this area and again not gonna knock Cary but it's a nice bedroom community of Raleigh, buts you don't move there to have fun, Raleigh and Cary are not the same and Durham is coming along as well alot of growth the American Tobacco complex and other stuff popping up in there Downtown is very nice!

Along with professional football, basketball and baseball games with friends because somebody you know has season tickets. Also, we miss diverse cultural festivals through out the year, Museum art shows that rotate World renown paintings and global artifacts on a quarterly basis. We took our children at least 3 times a year. None of which happens in the triangle. But like you said you don't move here for the nightlife. Just saying the area has a lot of growing to do and definitely a CON, especially if moving from a larger city.

I am from Maine, and Maine to me is like the South of the North. People are the same, life is slow paced, nothing really to do, LOTS of farms and agriculture and big beautiful fields, mountains, etc.. (except for southern Maine. I hate Southern Maine lol.) I have roots in Eastern NC and when I visit it seems just like Maine. But you can tell its different and I love it!

    First of all.. as a 23 y/o this was the most helpful video I watched compared to the other videos yall were very helpful for me, so thank you both! I suggest looking into Fort Collins in Colorado.. lots of restaurant options, outside recreation just about everywhere, sports are a big thing but the college football is heavily mediocre. It is Colorado so weather is unpredictable but its a great community I just wanna suggest to you! Wish all of you the best and thank you again for this helpful video!

    Thank you for the positive review of my native state. You should have lived here in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. It was wonderful back then. Now there are more non-native residents than native and it just is not the same. Now its crowded, the beaches used to be devoid of houses and you could go to the beach wherever you wanted. The lakes had few houses around them. The biggest negative about this is the developers sell to those with the money which leaves out the locals, and the locals lose their heritage to non-natives. So what used to be a wonderful, unique, beautiful place to live is becoming like everywhere else. People tend to destroy the places that they love just by being there.

    Tia, you are right. As a native North Carolinian, we do not like litter. We are not all raised the same way, of course, but ,for the most part most of us were raised in NC by the golden rule: Treat others as you wish to be treated. Someone else here commented that they liked how North Carolinians treat people and I can tell you as a southerner, I have met nice people and not so nice people all over the US and the world. People should remember one thing and that is, what's important in life is not what you have, but who you are. Be responsible, live a simple life and treat others kindly and the world would be a most different & better place for all. God Bless.

    Ms Vakashun , how funny I found your comment. I’m actually on this video because my husband & I are freaking out , we have always lived in AZ our whole lives and now may need to relocate. To NC . Looks beautiful! People seem amazing. AZ is beautiful in a different way, no green here ! It’s a very dry heat I’m sure you already knew that. You were speaking about boredom and traffic, the kicker is the bigger cities her like Phoenix with lots of places/ things to do are heavily occupied so lots of traffic. I grew up and work in Tucson , it’s smaller than Phoenix and less to do but Phoenix is a 2 hour drive . We here go to a beach in Mexico about 4 hours away (Puerto Peñasco) now I’m a lil different I like to be away from the city so I live in a small , clean , very family orientated community called “Rancho Sahuarita “ about 15-20 minutes outside of Tucson. Near the freeway so we can easily hop on and off to get to other places. Good luck , I always said I was bored here when I was younger , now that I may have to leave I’m actually a bit heartbroken.

    Thank you for posting this! Your video was a great help. We live in Central Florida, and my hubby is is mixed up in the recent Verizon transition and looking for a new position now. We moved to FL three years ago and love it here, but might not be able to stay due to the job search and as we are seeing a lot of jobs in Raleigh were wondering if it is a place we should look. One of things I would miss if we left FL....the skies. I'm glad to find out that NC has beautiful skies too. If you guys decide to look down here, we are in Lake County and it's much nicer than closer to the Orlando downtown area. I wouldn't mind a little boring, but would definitely miss all that there is to do down here. Anyway, thanks again! Will now check out your other videos!

    Whatever you do, DON'T MOVE TO FLORIDA. (unless you're looking on the west coast: Tampa is the best for families) Florida traffic might not beat Atlanta's, but it's still pretty bad. Floridians (almost all) are racist, even in the most multicultural cities like Miami and Orlando. The weather is horrid. Always hot and humid. Right now here in Miami it's 90 degrees with a heat index of 102. You'll get maybe one or two days of the best weather (in January it can get as low as a nice and brisk 60 degrees) Everything is expensive here, from transportation, housing, groceries, and gas (more expensive in more the cities). Also don't expect to find any friendly people south of West Palm Beach (except keywest, filled with friendly gays and old people). Best pro here is probably there is lots to do in Florida. From our plentiful theme parks (hello Disney world!) to our beautiful natural (and cold) springs, Florida has plenty for every type of person.

    +Sarah wife has family in the Palm Beach area. We love Florida and yes there is lots to do. Yes it's hot but my wife grew up there and I grew up in Atlanta so very use to heat and humidity. There's a/c for that😉. No state tax so our income would increase if all else stays the same. Growing up in the Deep South with brown skin and working in corporate America means dealing with racism hourly, daily, weekly, yearly; (covert & overt) Nothing new to us. We speak and believe the best of people cover our family with blessing everyday. We'll see where the Lord leads us but Florida looks as good as anywhere right now for us.

    I have lived in Maryland for 19 years, NC for 5 years and FL for 8 years. I would also say DO NOT MOVE TO FLORIDA. The income tax in NC is not that bad, it's about 5.5%, (NY or CA is over 10%) Florida has zero income tax, but everything else cost more, FL has plenty of toll roads, NC does not, groceries cost A LOT MORE in FL than in NC, because Publix is king down there (no competition), NC has sooo many different choices for grocery stores and they double/triple coupons, no store in Florida does that. Housing, car insurance cost more in FL than in NC!!! 90% of people in FL can not drive a motor vehicle properly! Plus, I love how in NC when you say hi to someone they actually say hi and many will take a couple mins and engage in conversation. In FL, getting someone to say hi back to you is about as rare as a FL driver using their turn signal. If you have to move to Florida, stick with Jacksonville or the panhandle, the rest of the state is a mess, especially Orlando and Miami.
