If you could live anywhere in the mid-south east coast...

[Fenika]

Where would you live and why? After I graduate I have a little flexibility in where I get a job and I figured I should look into some towns now.

For climate I'm looking at areas south of Delaware but north of Georgia. Preferably a coastal state, so that narrows the list down a bit

But I don't know much about the area other than Durham was nice when I visited in HS.

Ideally looking for something rural but within an hour or so of a nice city. Low crime, good equestrian community, relaxed (so no tourist traps!).

So where should I be looking? What's it like? How are the people? Paint me a picture please

And I can't move back to my home state of Delaware (not that I want to really) because in my field of work that would mean staring at chickens all day long x.x

Of course, if you want to convince me to move somewhere else, I'll listen as long as it's not the middle of nowhere, cold, and rainy. Someone told me Oregon is nice...
