Arizona has the largest man made lake in the USA –Lake Powell. Arizona has the second largest man made lake in the USA – Lake Mead. Arizona gun laws are the most relaxed in the country. Arizona boating is 365 day a year. Arizona has 6 lakes within 2 hours of Phoenix with clean clear water and no graffiti. Arizona Lake Havasu home of the largest Poker run in USA and a host of other boating events. Arizona has more sunshine than Florida, how did Florida become the sunshine state? Arizona has real-estate for all income levels. Arizona live in the cool ponderosa pine covered mountain ranges, dry lush deserts, or somewhere in between pick your climate! Arizona is a hub with low fair flights to Colorado and Utah skiing, San Diego, Las Vegas and more. Arizona has the most stable and livable climate in the nation, no earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, bone freezing temperatures and people done die in heat waves like they do in the Midwest, yeah it’s a dry heat you heard it before. So that’s Arizona, but if between Lake Travis and Raleigh, NC, my pick would be Lake Travis. |

Re: Where to live & boat???
I would vote for Austin, Texas, if given the choice between that and Raleigh.
We live in North Carolina and I love it. It's a great place to live but boating toward Raleigh is not the best. If you were moving toward Charlotte where you have Lake Norman it would be different. Boating on the coast is better in South Carolina in my opinion. We love the Charleston area for boating, on down to Savannah. As for Lake Travis, we trailered our boat out there 1267 miles in April and had a BLAST. The lake is large and the restaurants are very nice. Much nicer then we have on Lake Norman and much more boater friendly as for parking. I hated to leave. Also met a lot of super people on that lake. There are many smaller lakes in that area that people boat on as well, and you are not too far from the coast there either. When we relocate it will be to Jacksonville, Florida! Good luck, hope it all works out well for you. |

Re: Where to live & boat???
We too were part of the south Florida real estate boom. Took our profit and bought a home on the St. Johns river about 26 miles south of Jacksonville. Love the people. Love the boating. So far we are very happy.

Best place to live in Maricopa County (Phoenix area) IMO 1st Cave Creek – Extremely Lush very healthy Desert, small town 2nd Carefree - Very Lush Desert, small town 3rd North Scottsdale - Very Lush Desert 4th Fountain Hills – Desert great views 5th You can find many nice pockets in Phoenix, Peoria, Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler. Paradise Valley – Trophy homes, 2M teardowns to build 12M+ trophy homes popular with pro athletes, movie stars and the like. Other very nice cities and towns in the state Flagstaff - Mountain Wickenburg - High Desert Prescott - Mountain Payson - Mountain Pine - Mountain Show Low – Mountain Sedona –One the most beautiful places on earth currently suffering from a server fire rumored to be started by a construction site. This loss is incomprehensible and a tragedy for those losing their homes. These towns are to name a few there are nice places all over the state Tucson and surrounding areas for example but no big lakes near Tucson. Arizona is a great place to live, work and play but if you want a true on the water lake house it’s not here, but some people do live on their Houseboats....... |
