I know I know, I recently started a thread asking about eastern TN area but after a lot of reading on different forums I do not think TN would be a good match for my family. We haven't completely ruled it out but I'm just not getting a good vibe.
So we have shifted our search to the east a bit and are looking at the lake Norman, Lake Wylie areas. From what I have read Norman can get real busy on the weekends and Wylie is not as bad. My question is how busy? is it just hard to find flat water or is it just a complete mad house to the point that you wouldn't want to be on the water at all? We visited Deep Creek Lake Maryland this past summer and the weekends were just plain crazy. Shore to shore boats crisscrossing each other. It wasn't only the amount of boats but the amount od stupid boaters. There was no way in hell I would be caught dead on that water on a weekend.
Is Norman or Wylie that bad?
I would prefer to be lake side but one of the most important things is to be in a good school district. I have two young daughters 8 and 10. I am a public school fan so private schools are out.
It looks like schools around both lakes are really good.
My budget is a hard $350k less would be really nice. Not looking for a big house especially if its on the lake, 2,000sq or bigger 3 beds (4th would be nice because I'm sure family will want to visit).
Any information would help. It's a big deal to move a family from a place that both my wife and I grew up but I just cant take this anymore. We where going to wait for retirement but I lost my dad a couple of years ago at 62 and now 4 more family friends have past away all between 45 and 65. I'm not going to wait around.... I may never make it.
Thanks in advance.
