Looking for a bit more upscale.
A few places mentioned were The Landings near Savannah, Ga or Reynolds Plantation near Atlanta or Tellico Village near Loudon Tn.
There is no perfect place to live and I am very happy in TV....just trying to help a friend find his beautiful vista with 3 seasons ...in the Southeast
Other than Florida. If money was not an object, where would one find life like The Villages in a 3 season climate
Thanks in advance

NORTH CAROLINA FOR BOOMERS??? Four season state.....
North Carolina did have frequent snow this past winter, but that was unusual........ Still worth a gander.

Please keep scrolling all the way down to bottom of the page.
Numerous hyperlinks to click on, with regard to active adult retirement communities near Asheville North Carolina.
The neat thing about North Carolina is that it has the mountains as well as the seacoast.
When one gets tired of communing with nature up in the beautiful mountains, the outer banks has quite a history of it's own.......so head to the ocean for a quick getaway. Check out the Outer Banks shipwrecks....(great books to read on the subject, as well).

Chapel Hill, North Carolina has also become a very popular retirement destination.
Years ago, while at university in Vermont, our son did a summer internship in Chapel Hill. A born and bred Vermonter, he was very impressed with this town and the surrounding mountains further north near Asheville, etc. Our niece, her hubby and children live near Duke Univ. now; her inlaws are employed at Duke. A "Jersey girl" , North Carolina has become "home".
""What Chapel Hill is like for active adults....... Chapel Hill is a particularly beautiful (population just over 53,000) college town in the gentle hills of central North Carolina. ""
""The University of North Carolina (24,000 students) is the centerpiece of this charming small town with a cosmopolitan flair that makes it appealing as a retirement community. ""
""This entire area is highly educated, with Duke University nearby in Durham and NC State just 30 miles away in Raleigh. "
""The three towns are sometimes referred to as the Research Triangle in reference to the research park, Research Triangle Park, formed in 1959. The area has grown so explosively that surrounding towns like Carrboro and Durham have in effect merged into Chapel Hill. ""
""The university and the downtown are intertwined to create a classic college town atmosphere that will appeal to many active adults 55+. The downtown is widely used by students and residents for dining ""

Also , Blue Ridge Parkway for stupendously beautiful scenery........from around Lynchburg, Virginia, etc.
North Carolina is a beautiful state if you get off the beaten path and take the road less traveled.......or Blue Ridge Parkway.
