Yeah, I moved here and thought I'd be carried out in a wooden box. But the burbs have moved here fast in just 5 years. You used to be able to get an acre of GOOD (waterfront/mountain view) land for less than $7-8K. Now crap land is $15K+. There are half acre lots on top of the mountain I live on that are selling for $70K+. This is 60 miles away from ATL and honestly there are people making the commute, but it's mostly retirees who don't want to move to FL but don't want to be away from family in ATL either.
So......now I'm looking further out to buy my "retirement" property

I didn't want my property values to go up, lol!
