Relocating to Southern Shores, NC -pros and cons?

The unemployment rate is 7.5%, which is concerning. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in The Heights for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good healthcare facilities
- The nightlife scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Hope this helps!.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. it's been a really good experience overall. Compared to Pittsburgh it's improving.
