I'm in Central NC
-What is the climate like?
Winters-a Joke...its cold, but nothing like NY and it barely snows...its like a dusting...they do have ice storms, but it melts by daylight.
Summer- HOT and HUMID...there is no spring...it goes pretty much straight into summer.
-What are the best and worst cities?
Depends where you are looking...there is a huge aray of Cities and then rural areas...all depends what you want.
-Is there a city/ town/area where you would absolutely NOT recommend looking for a house /buying a house?
No, not really, again, depends on what you want.
-What are the best Family oriented areas, with good schools?
Wake County has very good schools...but again...there are plenty of family oriented areas in good school districts...we live in one :)
-Transportation
NO TRAFFIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the longest commute a whole 30 minutes and NEVER have I sat in traffic driving to work...which is during "the morning rush"
-Quality of life?
Its the bible belt...so people are very friendly, everyone says Hi, have a nice day, neighbors who you don't live next too will say hi and wave. Kinda scary at first, lol.
-Cost of living
houses, taxes, gas is cheaper...food is about the same, sometimes more than NY, but not enough to complain about.
-what's there to do for fun ,with and without children
We have gone to some nice restaurants, shopping isn't far and I'm only an 1 hr away from the outlets...plenty of stuff to do downtown. With children...we will find out in September :) But we are 45 minutes away from the Zoo, we have two children's musems closeby and a science center. Some nice parks and nature trails...mini golfing...go karts...rock wall climbing....
-I know house are more affordable there than in NY or any surrounding states ,but how is everything else?
Like I said above, the only thing that i have noticed slightly more expensive is food at the supermarket.
No traffic???
Where do you live? There is traffic around Raleigh/RTP.

Just outside Greensboro...I travel a half hour NW to work and NEVER once have sat in traffic. and again, in everyday commuting...no traffic, unless there is an accident. No mindless traffic
