"As a baby boomer looking to retire in a few years and move from PA, I discovered a lot in my research for where to retire. FL, SC and much of NC (and even eastern TN near the Smokies) have already run up much more than the average middle class retiree can afford. Development in many of those areas is not being done aesthetically and with an idea toward land preservation."

Especially east Tennessee. Don't go there. Just a bunch of hillbillies & hicks down here anyway;).

I have a dear niece and family who live in eastern TN. She's definitely not a hick. So you couldn't scare me off from moving there, if I really wanted to move there. Now, WV would give me pause.

We found a beautiful piece of property in a semi-rural area near but not on top of lots of great amentities and I'm not telling anyone where it is.

Too late! My mom and dad leave Maryland next week (God willing) and they're headed your way.
