shhh don't tell too many people about Kerr lake. Its a great place that isn't crowded. I lived on the lake unitl I graduated highschool. I have a lot of great memories there, and had plans of one day buying a place up there. But thanks to so many people from other states coming in, the property values have gone through the roof. My parents lot up there was bought for 10k back in 1990-1991, now has a taxable value of 150000.

Like waterfront/lakefront property anywhere these days that is navigable, it's pretty pricey. My son lives on Lake Norman and I would like to have a place close to him, but the real estate bust hasn't changed prices there much that I've seen. Likewise, I recently sold a place on Lake Wateree thinking it had about peaked, but prices there are still on an upward rise. Wateree is smaller, about 14,000 acres, but nice and clean and will accomodate powerboats.

It depends on what you want out of your property.
Less populated, Peace and quiet? Can't beat Kerr.
Big lake- nice and craggy/chocked full of coves to get lost in.
If your looking for somewhere you can work and play, Norman was my top pick. Only been here <2years but really like it so far.
Never been to Murray but it looks huge. I've never been to Columbia, so not sure how it is as far as city/suburbs/work etc.

Well I have only been here for about nine months so I don't have near the years that some do on here with LKN. We boated the weekend before Thanksgiving last year and we were boating in mid March. I would say a pretty solid six months from my little time being here.
