After looking for a home around the Charlotte area for several months, and coming up empty-handed, we finally found a place to build a home: in South Carolina, about 8 miles from the North Carolina border and 20 miles from downtown Charlotte. Our address is Fort Mill, but we are actually south of Fort Mill in a retirement community by Del Webb called Sun City Carolina Lakes (I'm on Social Security now, so it's OK). It is on 1,512 acres; there are about 2,000 homes now and about 3,000 when complete. The section we are in is on the golf course. When we were traveling, we stayed in places in Arizona and Spruce Pine that were on golf courses. We decided that being on on golf course is kind of nice, so that's what we did. Our lot overlooks the 18th hole.
We are having a small home built (1,594 sq. ft.) on a small lot (no, a very small lot - 50' X 120'). We decided that after 33 years, we don't need to be doing all that yard work anymore. We can still do some, but most of the maintenance will done for us. Our closing date is July 8th, which will be here before we know it.
We have already met some of our neighbors and they are all very nice. They are all damn Yankees, too, but since I am one also, I won't hold it against them !
