Lake Lanier GA - its North of Atlanta. . Nice lake many New Yorkers live in Atlanta suburbs - I visit almost every year. Weather - winter a bit warmer than the Carolinas.


Better food in around the area than the Carolinas minus Seafood most likely.


Anywhere within a 35 mile radius from dead center Atlanta - The traffic is a real PITA but no mater of any big city one lives in is a PITA these days.

that’s where we are headed. Moving the shop from Syracuse NY to Gainesville area. We’re sick of NY.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What do you do for living ? I would think boat related stuff in Gainsville could do well.

My brother went to SU way back in the 80s and was the not on the basketball team. He did try out as walk on but did not make it. He was the free throw champ for one year and won second place the next year at SU. They had this contest every year for anyone to enter. Anyways I would not be able to stand that weather in New York except June thru very early September. The reason why I left NY in the very early 80 s after college. Best thing I ever did.

All great info! I'm not sure how far south I want to go, but keeping an open mind.

I do plan on renting a few houses this coming summer. Hopefully it works out with the current virus situation.

we have family in Boise, we visit yearly. Idaho is one of the prettiest states we have been. Quality of life looks amazing. Would love to move there someday. What do you do for work in sandpoint?

I grow and ship strawberry plant stock for berry growers here in Florida. We plant in late April and dig/pack/ship in early October.
15,000,000 plants in 20 days!! Machine digs them up and shakes all the dirt off, but after that happens, they are sorted and each HAND PACKED by a large H2A crew from Baja Mexico.
Entire crew lives in employee housing on the farm and goes BACK to Ensenada as soon as we are done.

River is 6’ low in early November with the dam open. Sandpoint is about 8 mi up river, at that point your in Lake Pend Orielle, which has 85mi or so of shoreline

Have you considered LOTO??? Cost of living, taxes and real estate are relatively low. 400k would buy a pretty nice house on the water.

I have thought about this as well but not really to make a nice home move but move my business there. I have many people tell me I should have moved there many years ago for business and few shops in the past 3 years have asked me if I want a job with their companies.


So how hot are the summers there ? and how cold are the winters there. Also does it snow in the winter months ? I have been there in past for boating events but it was for 3 day trips only. So hard to say how the whole summer weather is thou out when visiting for 3 days only .

Hoodoo

That looks like beautiful country.
