New Yorkers, Tri-State Residents moving to North Carolina

Moving from New York, Tri-State area to North Carolina

Many New Yorkers are moving south to North Carolina. Many from the Tri-State area, which also includes Connecticut and New Jersey, find their way to this fantastic state of North Carolina.

When the combinations of Quality of Life (retirement or not), Cost of Living, and Real Estate Values intersect in those serious conversations we have at times, North Carolina makes its way into the discussion. West to East, NC has mountain communities, rolling foothills, the piedmont areas, and, of course, the wonderful shoreline beach communities with the Atlantic Ocean as the main attraction.

My perspective of being a relocated New York resident is about the Outer Banks of NC. Once settled here in my younger years, barely 30, it was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle. But the biggest benefit was the quality of life, which truly was enhanced by being able to secure real estate near the ocean due to affordability. These two ingredients fulfilled our dream. Is this area for everyone relocating from the Northeast? In meeting many folks who moved here, I can honestly say it is not.

Being a Real Estate Professional, I have seen more investors in Income Producing Beach Homes than primary home buyers from New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. The benefit I’ve seen them garner is that they “soft peddle” the idea of moving here. They come down and enjoy the home, for sure, and learn about the area when it comes to lifestyle, day-to-day needs, and expectations, as well as personal needs like medical services. Being used to driving 15 minutes in any direction for any type of product or service is not what the coastal areas offer. But the tradeoff of the beach style living for most is enough to figure out the rest!
