Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina, hence its nickname, The Queen City. It is a sprawling southern town with deep roots and traditions. We have something for everyone here from high-end shopping to theme parks or playing in a park to all major sports venues! With that does come the usual growing pains of a larger city: traffic, crime, and lots of construction. Charlotte is also divided up into neighborhoods. Most people stay in their areas but venture out for nightlife and dining. South End and NoDa are two blossoming areas that definitely have something to meet anyone's tastes. Overall, Charlotte is a beautiful city, placed between a rolling mountain range and the crystal blue waters of the Atlantic. It is a MUST VISIT!
I love the diversity of people, restaurants, and activities! I have lived in Charlotte my whole life and whether it's going downtown for dinner, up to the lake, or anywhere the food is always so amazing. I love going to Panthers, Hurricane, Knight's, and Hornet's games. I love the diversity of people with many different backgrounds, religions, and views on the world. Everything in Charlotte is truly unique.
Charlotte is a beautiful and clean city. A lot of the people who live here are not actually from here! Its a 2 hour ride to the mountains and the beach. But living in a city is a wonderful opportunity to check out new restaurants and bars. Charlotte has a huge brewery scene that definitely keeps people coming. The White Water Center is just about 20 minutes from uptown and a fantastic place to bring visiting friends and family. The exciting and fun stuff to do at the White Water Center include ropes course, white water rafting, kayaking, walking your dogs, zip lining, biking and so much more. It is a great place to have an outdoor adventure. Speaking of outdoor adventures - you can have so many of those here since the weather is beautiful about 10 months out of the year. Only in January and February does it get quite chilly, but you should never really see snow. It is probably one of the only things I really miss - the snow and the beach!
