Review of Charlotte, North Carolina


Charlotte NC...Bad Risk
Star Rating - 3/16/2010
No matter what anyone tells you about how great this place is..do not, I repeat..do not buy real estate here. If you have come from any kind of urban northern environment..you will be severely disapointed in the backward way of thinking that engulfs Charlotte...and as far as jobs go..there are none, they have been swept away along with the banks.
My suggestion to any, who want to get away from overtaxed environments like NY, FLA or others..is..rent first anywhere you go..and give it two years..also consider retiring where there is good culture sporting resources, boating, golf etc.
This was the biggest financial, emotional mistake I have ever made. Its up to me to try to warn you.

WOW! Where were you when we were looking to move here. We moved here 6 weeks ago and I have been severely disappointed as well. Thank God we realized before we made the misake of purchasing. We are desperately seeking to get out ASAP!

AMEN TO THAT! DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT move to Charlotte, NC without a job offer in hand or network (versus offers to "help"). Employment applications submitted on line are simply stacked with thousands of others and temp work is scarce. I have a strong administrative support background and an impressive resume, but only one interview invitation came (for a job that no one in their right mind would accept) after 2 months worth of constant effort. It was a worthwhile endeavor, but costly, and I was happy to turn around and go home. Upstate New York never looked so good!
