Review of North Carolina, North Carolina


relocating
Star Rating - 10/29/2012

Hi;

I live in South Florida and considering relocating with my family to a less expensive place. I have been searching North Carolina, specially Charlotte since in general the housing market is much less expensive from where I live. me and my husband ave two children one boy (19) and one daughter (14), so I also need to look for a good public high school.

I have been searching North Carolina in general but since I prefer to live in a city I have search Charlotte more than everywhere else.

I read some reviews here and to my surprise they are not generally good. As a matter of fact they are scary (high taxes,all types of restriction, distance in commutes, etc. All I want to do is move from South Florida to a less expensive place.
Any suggestions

I live in Raleigh Nc and I would suggest it over Charlotte, I lived in Miami Florida and I would have to say it's much cheaper her.I do recommend it and as for public school I recommend Wakefield High school that's where my kids went and they liked it for the most part. Of course NC is nothing like FL so it takes so time to adjust but something I do appreciate is the traffic or lack of! I recommend this state because they have great colleges and houses are cheap and people are nice.
