If you don't plan on spending 300k plus make sure you like living with the nigs. Even at that price point it could be questionable, tons of government jobs around here that make finding non chaotic neighborhoods a challenge. They bring the hood right with them to the burbs around these parts.
Oh and there is no "ocean" within 25 min of this place. The only water is the Chesapeake Bay, extremely expensive on the west side, redneck hickville to the east.
There are pockets of little suburbs here and there but nothing like you are used to in NC I can tell you that much. Prepare to downsize.
