I have lived in statesville for 3 years... Robbed - 7/6/2012

I have now lived in statesville for 3 years. I live in what was the old country club. I love my home its beautifull. Although the neighborhood is terrible. Our garage has been broken into 3 times. My husbands car has been robbed once and my neighbor was stabbed. I can't wait to get the hell out if here!!! I am looking to move to Savannha. I heard that crime was bad there. After doing reaserch Statesville was comparably worse, and its a small town. Don't move here.[more...]

Not so good... - 8/20/2007

I recently moved to Troutman, NC and unfortunately I'm not very far from Statesville... I do most of my shopping and leisure activities in the Mooresville area. I'm actually quite surprised at how slummy Statesville is. There are areas that are so run down and "ghetto" that I locked my car doors the few times I have passed through. Run down houses with grass 2 feet high...broken windows, cars sitting on blocks, just plain trashy. There are certain areas that are much nicer and well kept. Some of the stores/shopping centers there look a century old and quite frankly I aviod them. Just recently here, an innocent man was taking a walk in the downtown statesville area and got beaten by 8 teenagers..he died a few days later... so if I were you I would be wary of where you were and when. As for the industry/jobs.. there's not much going on. I have lived all over the united states and to tell you the truth, parts of Statesville remind me of southern California. Just run down and old.....[more...]
