Where is the best affordable place to live in North or South Carolina?

Someplace safe to raise a family where the economy is good. Not a big city.

1. north carolina is beautiful and inexspensive
2. Fayetteville,N.C is a nice area
3. My personal favorites are Asheville, NC and Charleston / Mt. Pleasant, SC. HOWEVER……………… Your question is quite subjective. You will get many suggestions but only you can make the final decision. There is no perfect place but some places are certainly better than others. BY STATE / CITY: Click on any town or city in the list at the below link for a clickable map, the city’s demographics, average income, recreation, education, crime rates, etc. I started you off in North Carolina. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2007/states/NC.html You can also check Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live in the U.S. and by state at the links below.
