People have asked why we moved and how we did it in this crazy economy, so let me explain…

First of all, we have three sons, their wives, and nine grandchildren in Greenville, South Carolina, and we wanted to see them more often. (For most of the past 10 years we’ve been living in Wilmington, NC, which is about five hours away from our family.) Since it didn’t seem likely that our sons would move their families closer to us, we started thinking — and praying — about moving closer to them.

Last fall we made a trip to Hendersonville to check out the housing. We looked at a number of nice communities, but one stood out among them all: Carriage Park.

The pond at the entrance made a great impression…

We drove up Carriage Parkway and knew it would provide some good exercise…

At the top of the first ridge, we could see the Asheville Airport in the distance…

As we drove through the community looking at available lots, we thought the homes were very nice, without being ostentatious…

We drove by the lake and continued our search for the perfect lot to build our home…

In the sunset of our lives, we found a great community with amazing views…

The developer and sales team at Carriage Park have been terrific, and we’ve already made friends in the community and at church. But the best part is our close proximity to family…

If your retirement is approaching or you can work from home in almost any location, maybe it’s time for you to stimulate the economy. You won’t find a more beautiful and friendly place than Carriage Park in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Check it out today.
