Review of Mooresville, North Carolina


Looking for a home in mooresville is it the right
Star Rating - 3/21/2013
Ok too much to take in... But I've been doing so much research lately and so far Mooresville seems like a good place to live ... I'll be looking soon and coming from Long Island NY cause my husbands ready to retire his City Job... We have 5 kids and this won't be easy cause one will be in her 4 th yr of college one will be starting college one will be a junior in hs one a freshman in hs and one prob starting middle school by the time we leave... Taking my kids out go ny from there friends I don't want to bring them to the boonies at this age that would be a very hard transition . I love the fact that mooresville has a lake a boat would be nice to have and we like fishing, it's the schools I'm confused about so many different zip codes just boggles my brain. We are friendly out going people but our frends here are lifelong we've known the same people and hangout with child hood friends from our hometown in Queens Ny I never really cared for the long islanders here but we like to go out and have fun even at our age early 40's for me early 50s for him. I don't want to feel like I'm trapped there with no one around and no where to go are there bars or clubs nearby ? Also school is an issue I don't want to sound prejudice I've grown up in a predominantly black area as a kid and have had great friends BUT Im looking to raise my kids in a more white area . I also see a lot of Asian areas in nc Im not interested in them either I know they can be very clickish I want my kids to feel like they belong as they do here teenagers are not easily taken in new areas . I will be leaving everyone I've known my entire life and so will they I just don't want to make the biggest mistake of my life. School rating reviews are so dumb there is bullying everywhere and teachers who don't care everywhere as a parent from a tough background of people I've learned if teachers don't handle it I will just sayin. On another note I'm just looking for a house large enough with cheaper taxes then our now 1450 sq ft home with our 9k taxes in a good area with an equal amount of education as my kids get here. If someone asks about an area this is what they probably want to know . Anyone with my answers please reply ... And if I do move there you people might just have some fun cause were are fun outgoing people who get along with most and the only way to enjoy life . We may even decide to open up a happening lil business there just be honest when your on these sites cause it is a life changing thing and not everyone can just up and move every couple of yrs this next move for me is going to be my last.
