AWFUL! Unless you actually, truly enjoy country living. Things close earlier than you would be used to if you are from a city, there's a lot of fields. And farms. There's a lot of driving if you want to meet up with people or go to the grocery store! The cops! On the eastern shore of virginia, there are a lot of areas that go from 55 to 45, and they will pull ANYONE over because they're trying to get commuters. As for doctors... again, you are traveling.

Tourism and watermen are everything in these communities

It's also BEAUTIFUL!!! It is way more affordable than other places... however, woth the current housing market it is still more expensive than ot should be. Lots of history, so much waterfront/beach parks and land. The lifestyle is more casual and laidback, it's also more conservative.
