If you come here, be prepared to be looked down on by the "Socialites". Don't get me wrong, I am a life long Virginia native. But this area has some growing up to do.  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
