Graham, North Carolina
There have been numerous posts and articles lately about where "the best" place to live is. And. just by human nature, we all think that ours is the best place.
After doing a little research I am convinced that I do live in the 'best' place, or at least in one of the best places around. Graham, North Carolina.
If you're curious about the housing market in Graham, North Carolina, then perhaps these charts will help explain why I am bragging. Our area (market) may not boast the largest amount of multi-million dollar estates, or have all the metro-chic, trendy building going on that other areas have, but if you want a solid area with stable prices, good neighborhoods, friendly folks, the conveniences of bigger cities without the hustle and bustle ... well, then I suggest you take a look in my neck of the woods. It's really worth consideration.
In doing my research I came across a comment made by someone that had been considering a move to Graham, North Carolina. I read it ... chuckled ... read it again ... and still chuckled. Apparently when they had asked one of the locals what to expect they were told, "It's like Mayberry - just 40 years later." Honestly, I can't think of a better description.
