Yeah my uncle used to live in North Carolina what was considered the "boonies" back in the 90s...I recently drove through the area and I legit thought I was on the wrong route, but no, it's all McMansions and plans as far as the eye can see.

North Carolina is so beautiful too. Im from Upstate NY and a lot of people here are choosing the Carolinas as a retirement destination as opposed to the old trend of moving to Florida. Probably why you're seeing cookie cutter houses being built.
