Crime in Rutherfordton in next to non-existant. You hardly ever hear of murder or rape here. I'm aware that we have burgleries and so forth, but very serious crime?   More

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
