What’s it like living in North Carolina?

Living in North Carolina really is the best, as evidenced by the above list! (And that’s only the beginning.) One of the best things about living in North Carolina is that we have four beautiful seasons to look forward to each year. In fact, the beauty of North Carolina really shines through in different ways depending on the season. For spring, it’s the migration of Monarch butterflies, hiking to waterfalls, and wandering through flower fields. Summer brings coastal visits, epic water parks, and fireflies flitting through fields. And of course, you don’t get better fall foliage than North Carolina’s — the Tar Heel State puts on a spectacular show each autumn that’s truly an embarrassment of riches. Then to top it all off, winter hits, and you can take sleigh rides through freshly fallen snow and see all of the best Christmas lights!
