Retiring to North Carolina

Are you looking for places to retire in N.C., maybe on the NC waterfront? NC beach places to retire? Consider making an extended stay in any area you are considering before making a commitment. This will give you a realistic sense of surroundings, differences in climate, cost of living, available services, and day-to-day life before making firm plans. Look before you leap. Not every rural area or even cities offer the public transportation options that you may now depend on. Medical facilities and costs may also differ.
