Review of Charlotte, North Carolina


Our view point
Star Rating - 3/15/2015
We are from Los Angeles. I'm a Georgia Tech grad. We came here looking to get away from the big, big, city, yet retain most elements of a large city. We have found that. Charlotte is a very clean city, you have all the benefits of a large city, yet the peace of a much smaller city. It rains here monthly, not so in LA. I am only a half day from Bobby Dodd Stadium, and I love that. The people here are very friendly and easy to get along with. Housings can be affordable, homes close to Southpark can run $600k to well over $1m. However, do as we have and you can discover Ballantyne, 6 to 10 miles south of Southpark. Here you can find a great home $350k to $550k. Infrastructure was very important to us. In LA it was 2 to 10 miles for everything. We were not looking to give that up. We have the same infrastructure here.

Hey Paul. I am writing because I see u are from Castaic. My wife and I are thinking of relocating to the Lake Norman area (Denver, Huntersville, etc) . I was wondering if it's true that most whites are racist towards others in and around the charlotte area. I am white, my wife is brazillian but she and my kids basically look white. I really don't want to raise my kids in a pro-racial city/area. If you could help me out that would be great. My wife and I kinda fall in the middle of politics between liberal/conservative. Thanks, Ryan
