Review of Raleigh, North Carolina


Moving to NC
Star Rating - 4/17/2012
I actually amin serach of information... I will be moving to NC later this year or early 2013. I was looking at Raliegh, Greensboro or somewhere around those vacinities. i am a single mother with one child left at home and would like her to attend a Charter school verses a regular High school, One with high standards and acedemics. I will also need to work. We are of a mixed decent but hard working and not into all the social TV hype. Much more laid back and family oriented. Where would be the best city? (by your opinion)... My oldest daughter and her husband will be moving there as well but not sure where, but in the same area and she is a teacher.

Thank you for your input!

Raleigh might be better than Greensboro. There are some great schools here and more job opportunities. There are many people here from other states so probably more diversity too. It's a very green city. I might be good to find a job first before you move here. Overall it's a good place for families.
