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!
Absolutely love it! So many fun activities to do in Charlotte like going to Freedom Park, Carowinds, and the National White Water Center. I feel like there is a good amount of job opportunities for everyone in the Charlotte area and can identify that lots of areas are starting to grow more and more. Lots of healthy activities everyone can do like yoga classes at the YMCA, running at a local school track, and kickboxing classes. Some areas of Charlotte are more affordable than others, so make sure you do your research when thinking about moving to Charlotte. It is definitely family-friendly, as neighbors are extremely welcoming as well as local people you bump into. Charlotte has a great number of restaurants that are fantastic and are worthwhile. NoDa and Plaza Midwood are being known as the "hip" area for students and adults in their early 20s as a fun place to grab a bite to eat and go shopping.
Charlotte, North Carolina is a diverse, very quickly growing city! It has southeastern charm with dually accessible city life aspects, as well as country life aspects. Balance is important and Charlotte has a lot to offer in areas of business, education, Arts, culture, entertainment and nightlife. Charlotte is also politically active and is known as the next Atlanta. While there has been great expansion in the city, there is room for so much more. I have lived here for a over ten years and have personally learned so much in this environment.
