Future retirement location, NC,SC, or TN?

Since FL is the place not to retire now of days, which state would be a good place to buy property?? If you can narrow it down to counties and cities that would also be helpful! Vacant property, to build on in the future, or condo (that could be rented until retirement)

1. south pittsburg tennessee is a beautiful place!! me and my hub went there for a wedding a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it!! its such a small quaint town, everyone is super friendly.. and i bet property isnt too high there... but its also kinda close to the city... its about 40 min outside of chattanooga... you should check it out.... its an awesome place!
2. tn. is agood state . suggest comberland co. . taxes are low if you're in the county,not the city proper . you have basically the four seasons,w/o much snow . pleanty outdoors events available . restruants lacking, but can travel 30 minutes for the best .
3. What I'm I missing? FL seems to be the ideal place to retire to, no snow, no state income tax, lots of things to do all year round.
4. South Carolina, particularly the Columbia area, is a great place to live. I have lived here pretty much all my live and I love it. Columbia is a great place to raise a family. It offers a ton of activities to do, such as outdoors activities, cultural, and the like. Here are some reasons that make SC a great place to live: 1- Weather - Average temperature is 65 to 75 Degrees, we have four season and usually no snow! 2- Cost of Living is low 3- No Hurricanes (very seldom) 4- Abundance of land 5- Low taxes/insurance 6- Location...Columbia is close to everything. It's about 2 hours from Charleston ant the beach and 2-3 hours from the mountains. 7- Hospitality...nothing better than Southern Hospitality 8- Columbia area is a metro area, big city feel, with small town charm! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Thanks and a have a great day
