We're from Winchester, VA but looking to relocate elsewhere. Could you tell me about Boone? We definitely need the mountains and are looking for a slower paced community than what Winchester is becoming. We live 70 miles west of Washington, DC but DC is expanding out our way and it's becoming very fast paced, clogged with traffic and such. We also like to visit the ocean...how far is Boone to the ocean communities? Thanks for info!
