An ideal community environment for me would be one where the population spans all age groups, and recreation for all those age groups creates interaction, sharing and caring communities.  To me it always seems like beach communities offer what I enjoy, surf, sand, beach and good food.  Jacksonville NC in Onslow County is one of those communities.  Also Sneeds Ferry provides quiet living in an area that’s close to the nightlife and amenities to make it a community consideration.
