Looking for property in North Carolina to eventually build on and retire.
Is Canton NC a decent place? Anyone from there? Decent hospital near by? Shopping? Safe place? |

Alright I'll keep looking. Where did you end up moving? I'm also looking in the Moravian Falls as well. |

where ever you look.. you will need to visit several times i suggest at least every season to get the real feel..
aka the heat and sweet on the southern coast... that last from may-sept, the mountains the coolness vs the heat.. etc... plus you get to see how people really act the more you go visit. |

Canton just lost their oldest and largest employer, I would have to think that once the local economy craps out, you know what results.

It’s not a bad area. Not particularly nice either. I agree it is going to get bad with the mill closing. Definitely not the best. If I were moving to this area now, I’d probably look at Brevard, Mills River, some parts of Hendersonville, Old Fort, Fairview, Waynesville, some parts of Madison County, Rutherfordton. There’s more but those stand out. Cost of living here has gotten ridiculous. I live in Fairview. There is a double wide on a half acre they’re trying to sell for over 400k. That’s just pure insanity.

Zillow The worst part is they just might get it, there is a piece of land down the street from that they are asking $200K for, it's two lots a total of about 3/4 of an acre. One lot is useless as it has a 70' power line easement running through the property and the other lot won't perc for septic. In addition to those issues it's in the steep slope zoning so its just about impossible to build on with out all of the other issues. |

you wanna look in Spartanburg, Greenville, or Pickens County South Carolina. Pickens is actually very rural. There’s parts of Greenville that are very rural Spartanburg is developing but you can still get reasonable if you look. And you’re close enough to the cities of Greenville Charlotte, Atlanta, Asheville, etc..
