All depends exactly where your at with work...I can give you alot of advice on good places to live to avoid being stuck in traffic every day

bsj177 · 10-03-2007, 07:03 PM

That would be great! I'm still trying to figure out exactly where my work is at.

bsj177 · 10-06-2007, 10:35 PM

Ok looks like my work is on the NE part of the 440 Loop on Capital Blvd. Any tips on good places to live close by? Thanks

bran · 10-06-2007, 11:34 PM

I had 21" in my backyard in '03, but I'm a little further west in High Point.

What is your price range? A great community to definitely check out is "Hedingham". Convenient to Capital and priced very fair

bsj177 · 10-08-2007, 12:34 AM

Beater...I'm trying to stay around $750 or so. I'll check out Hedingham, thanks for the info!

CivicBeater · 10-08-2007, 12:34 AM

750 a month or 750k????

ameuba10 · 10-08-2007, 12:36 AM

im looking for one around $750k

bsj177 · 10-08-2007, 12:37 AM

$750 a month. I'm looking for an apt. Not going to buy a house in NC because I'm not sure how long I'll be there. I'm getting screwed by the housing market in Arizona and not wanting that to happen again.

CivicBeater · 10-08-2007, 01:18 AM

ohh i didn't know that you wer elooking at an apartment...Hedingham is all houses.

Apt's will be a little easier to find then :)

bsj177 · 10-08-2007, 01:29 AM

Hedingham looks like a really nice area. I'm going to check out that area to see if there are any rental houses there.

CivicBeater · 10-08-2007, 01:38 AM

definitely...I LOVE that neighborhood. Location may not work for me but i'm still considering it as my wife and I are trying to decide on where to buy a house

bsj177 · 10-08-2007, 01:43 AM

Yeah it looks nice and prices are cheap compared to AZ. I'm just not wanting to buy until I know I'm staying somewhere for 5 years at least.

liuh · 10-08-2007, 04:53 AM

I used to live off of Sixforks in N Raleigh when I interned up there... the only advice I have for you is to watch out for those damn red-light cameras. EVERYWHERE. I dunno if they are still there, but 1.5yrs ago when I was there it was like every light.

If you like to play pool there's Brass Tap on Capital Blvd. That's what I did in my spare time so thats all I really know... haha.

I don't recall 20in of snow in NC (my family lives in Winston-Salem). It might snow once a year for like 1" and sometimes we get freak snowstorms at like 8" (just a guess).

Don't drive like a maniac unless you want a big ass speeding ticket, cops in NC don't play. LOL =]

Have fun in NC! Kinda boring for younger people with no family of their own, but can be nice to raise a family in.

bsj177 · 10-08-2007, 02:43 PM

Liuh thats for the tips. We have those damn red light cameras in AZ too. I'll have to check out the Brass Tap. I leave for NC on Thursday!

ameuba10 · 10-08-2007, 03:57 PM

good luck bro

xcopx · 10-09-2007, 10:33 AM

I moved to Goldsboro (1 hour east of Raleigh) 2 years ago from England after spending a month in California. We got here December 1st and the temperature change was a complete shock to our systems. It was a lot colder than we had expected. We ended up buying new coats the first week.

Also, the first summer was hotter than anything we had dealt with in California too. The humidity is killer here. Now we're used to it though and absolutely love living here.

bsj177 · 10-09-2007, 02:53 PM

Xcopx I have a feeling I will be buying a new jacket sortly after moving there! Going to be a big change from AZ

ameuba10 · 10-09-2007, 03:21 PM
