Moving to and living in the Lakes Region year round... whats the reality of....
well many things.

Got the 2 elementary kids, wife, etc. Considering making the move to the region year round and just have many questions. I am sure they have been asked here before.

Meredith is top of the list. We just love it there. Town, atmosphere, etc. I am self employed and could work in a cave so no worries for me. Wife is an admin/book keeping, etc.

Bigger concern are the kids and housing. Off season... sure there are winter sports, but is the area a ghost town? I need to make sure my kids are busy. Thoughts?

Housing? Sure, on the water of lake winni with a deep dock and 3000 sq ft home luxary home. Now back to reality ... water front ideal. We dont mind a townhouse/condo. We want modern living, comforts, safe region. On water or water based community ideal and really the make/break. Whats the price range for a 3 bedroom townhouse, condo, 1500sqft home on the water these days? Yes, I know I can browse through hundreds of listings. But without knowing whats going on in the region I am not sure what is the deal and isnt.

Appreciate any help you can provide here.

thanks!
