Snowbirding vs. Year-Round Retirement

It depends on how warm you want it to be of course, but for me the Carolinas would be too cold in the winter. I think a lot of golfers do go there because they like it cool. If you were going to move there year round you might not mind as much as the summers are so hot and humid and they seem to like the cool winters. I know lots of native Floridians and I don't find them to be different at all. If anything I think it might be some of the snobs from the NE that are different, not the natives.

Perhaps consider a place not on Winni? There are many lakes in the area with lower prices and taxes. A place that is winterized would afford the opportunity to rent it out in the months when you go south and would pay for the costs of maintaining the place year round.
