1 week agoRetirees are moving to this quiet North Carolina beach town to avoid Florida's heat, costs, and crowds
Fleeing the Northeast and flying south - usually to Florida - to wait out the winter in warmer weather is a common move for snowbirds. But some retirees aren't flying quite as far south anymore for an escape. Take Diana Cawood, who skipped Florida altogether and relocated to North Carolina from New Jersey at the end of 2019. "Florida was not an option," Cawood told Business Insider, adding that it was important that she be in reasonable driving distance back to New Jersey to see her children and grandchildren. "We can drive back to New Jersey in about nine hours," she said.
