We were trying to make the same decision some months ago.

Our daughter and family lives just east of Asheville in NC. Beautiful country, 65 degrees last Christmas day, wonderful communities close to Asheville, but it does get chilly and in spots snowy. What made the choice for us was we wanted to be warm all year round and closer than 5-6 hours from the ocean. We chose TV for the lifestyle,the climate and the bonus is we aren't more than a 90 minute drive to the shore.
