Matthews is a suburb of Charlotte. It's big advantage over Charlotte is that you are on the edge of the rural areas, and it is safer. Don't expect to save any on taxes  More

Rockford is the ideal community for just outside of the Grand Rapids city. Outstanding schools, kind people, and a sweet downtown. There are beautiful neighborhoods  More

I've lived here for 15 years and love it. I have raised three children in the schools here and they are among the best in the state. All the schools are blue ribbon  More

I love living in Rockford, it's small, quiet and close to every thing you need (Grand Rapids). I am planning to move to Melbourne, Florida within the next couple months,  More
