The southern lifestyle evokes images of lazy afternoons spent on wide covered porches with the scent of orange blossom in the air, gazing out over marshy savannahs. Life in the new South offers this and much, much more. Therealestatehomeguide.com’ selection of southern neighborhoods showcases classic southern living and traditional architecture complemented with every modern amenity. To accommodate the warm, humid air of Southern climates, houses of the south are sprawling and airy with tall ceilings, large front porches, usually built of wood. A wrap–around porch provides shade during the heat of the day. Pitched or gabled roofs are usually medium or shallow in height, often with dormers.
The Southern states contain wonderfully varied terrain. Explore the glorious mountain regions where mountain–view homes feature stunning long range views abound or discover marsh front communities along the coastal plains where boating and fishing are favorite pastimes. And with the milder climate found in the South, golfers can enjoy the wonderful diversity and extraordinary quality of southern golf courses and resorts.
No longer strictly agriculture based, the American South offers exciting cities and urban lifestyles for all tastes. Over the last few decades, southern cities like Atlanta, Richmond, Nashville, Raleigh, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Birmingham, Dallas, and Houston have experienced an economic boom– becoming an important part of the “New South.” Major corporate headquarters can be found in these cities, with Atlanta being the third largest city in the country to have the most Fortune 500 headquarters. The North Carolina Triangle and the Huntsville, Alabama regions are home to two of the three largest research parks in the world.
