Charlotte is Really a Great Place to Live (but don - 3/8/2014
Charlotte is really a great place to live, small town feel, low traffic, low nightlife, low gas prices, affordable housing, low COL, no snow, no hurricanes, need I say more. But I don't want anyone to move here and make it more congested. Im very happy here. Its a great place to live! Hard finding a good job is my major con. Its very difficult if you don't already have a job. If you are offered relocation, make sure your company will not close once you get here like mine did. However, with all the positives, im glad Im here and not someplace more

Charlotte is in a good place - 12/3/2013
There is so much to appreciate about this place: Beautiful, great family town, 4 seasons, easy to get around (compared to ATL, where I moved from), and awesome entertainment and restaurant options. But if you don't see a band scheduled that you like, the best part may be that you can decide on a Friday afternoon to steer north two hours to Asheville or south for 3 to Charleston for a world class mini-vacation weekend. And if you can't find a restaurant or entertainment venue to your liking in those cities, check your pulse or your attitude. This Thanksgiving we were able to snow ski and cut our own Christmas tree- last year golf and beach. Great location, vitality while maintaining a laid-back pulse, and awesome neighborhoods make this a nice place to live.
--- I have read a few critiques of the people in Charlotte on this post that are interesting. The MSA is now over 1 million, so to generalize about the people throws a big bitter blanket over a place that was

Looking to retire in Charlotte, NC - 9/27/2013
Hi Everybody!
I've read about all the good and bad of living in Charlotte. The only thing I didn't see mentioned was how a retired person fits in in Charlotte. Everyone keeps saying how good it is for families. Is Charlotte better suited for young people after college and not retirees? We would prefer to live in a community with others our own age because we have more in common with them.(Not because we don't like younger people). Are there meet and greet groups for seniors, or is it difficult? A little insight from other retired people would be
