There are very affordable new construction 3 br 2 ba homes about ten miles inland from the southern coastal NC beaches, $130K or so, popular with retirees. Subtropical climate with palmetto trees and seldom any snow, but it can get cold at times. Doesn’t get very cold or stay cold long, though, otherwise the palmettos couldn’t survive. Communities off the top of my head, Leland, Supply, Boiling Springs. There are others, just can’t think of the names right now. Nearest city would be Wilmington, NC or Myrtle Beach, SC, depending upon location.
Inland from Wilmington is flat and scrubby, but the climate is pretty good in winter.
Oops, not Boiling Springs, that’s up in the mountains. I meant Bolivia.
