Connecticut property taxes are going crazy here and many retirees are leaving the state because of it. But with 4 children close by, 12 grands and 3 great-grands I can't seem to make myself go. Hubby and I have talked about moving to South Carolina in the Bluffton area {near Georgia} as the weather is beautiful most of the year and taxes are so cheap compared to CT but for me it's the family that comes first! Also love New England for 3 of the seasons.
