I currently live in TN and my family and I are considering a move to NC. We want to be near the beach. I'd love to be within walking distance, or even golf cart distance (if you can do that). The only promising info I have found so far is on Wrightsville. I've found a couple of decently priced rentals there, and wanted to first get more information on the area.
Are the schools good? We have a 6 & 9 year old, so that's a must. Is the crime rate high? Are there fun things to do for families? Shopping nearby?
I would also love some suggestions for nearby towns that aren't super expensive (when I say that, I mean our max is about $850 a mth to rent).
Thank you so much for your input!
