I am trying to figure out if A: I should rent an unfurnished and move my stuff there and then move to the house i purchase. or B move my stuff to storage and rent a furnished house. C: rent 3 houses over 3 months in 3 different areas sumpter, brownwook, and spanish springs and see which i like best. So many options, not sure which is best. What are your thoughts? Thanks so much, i cant wait to get there no more jersey winters.

Fran, you have a great plan. When I moved here I rented in three different areas and learned where I was spending most of my time. I liked the 466 area because it's close to shopping on 466 as well as 441, restaurants, banking, theaters, etc. I did not bring my furniture when I came and rented furnished places (they are all over). I bought a turnkey resale near 466 and have never wanted to be anywhere else but here. I think renting first helped me to find my forever location. I've heard from realtors that many people relocate 3 times in TV but not me. I'm happy where I am.
