Funny that "the ideal place to live" has become a topic on LTC. We just returned from a trip to Asheville, NC and absolutely fell in love with it. The climate is moderate with some change of seasons. It is not crowded and we have never met such friendly people. Unfortunately, they do have snakes, but not as many as out west. It was an extreme culture shock returning to south Florida. We are definitely considering a move.
