Concord, North Carolina SperlingViews

It was a beautiful small town 20 years ago...sadly, it has had many changes none of which I admire. Increased traffic, more crime, more police, increased taxes, all of these are related and will continue to grow.
We now have a new prison being built right in the middle of town in the historic distric.

Hell on earth - 12/18/2011

North Carolina Is very boring. If you want to move to a small town with alot of nice people concord is not the place. Im dying to get out of NC because people are moving down here from all over the place and act like fools just because "its the south" and 90% of them have no real southern roots. most the kids I went to school with are total jerks fells like you cant trust anyone.[read more...]

nice town - 8/16/2010

Ive lived in the area for 15 years. It has grown tremendously during that time. It is mostly a bedroom community for Charlotte. However, it has a very distinct downtown with beautiful homes and historic areas. The school system is above average. 3 new high schools have opened over the past 10 years. The Northwest part of the county tends to get the greatest acclaim regarding living and schools. Afton Village is a newer "mixed-use" development with charming homes and shops and restaurants locals walk to. Overall Concord is a nice place to live. The biggest challenges in the future will be road congestion and school over-crowding.[read more...]

A Place to Raise a Family - 4/17/2006

Having lived here for nearly five years, I would just like to let everyone know what a great place Concord is to raise a family. The people are friendly, hard-working and seem to have the family first mentality that we have. This is definitely the place we want all three of our children to grow up.[read more...]
