Matthews is a suburb of Charlotte, NC with a population of about 32,044 in 2019. I have been here for 3 years and the town has a lot to offer. I am enrolled in the middle college program at their CPCC location and I've taken advantage of their nice selection of part-time jobs for teenagers and young adults. Matthews also offers a plethora of shopping options. I was never into fashion until I explored the many thrift and discount stores in the town. Matthews also holds many events such as Food Truck Fridays. One of the best experiences I have had so far is their annual Labor Day weekend street festival Matthews Alive, which takes place in downtown Matthews and celebrates local businesses and organizations. They offer live music, food trucks, rides, games, etc. If I could change anything about the area, I would like to make it more diverse. The majority of the town is populated by Caucasian residents and it would be nice to have more minorities and other people who look like me.
Matthews is an amazing town for families, children, and adults all overall. There's always something to do, the variety of stores and entertainment is huge, and the events hosted by Matthews downtown really make the place feel like home. I'm so grateful I live in Matthews, and living near Matthews downtown is one of the biggest blessings I've been given.
I like the coziness of Matthews. Situated on the outskirts of Charlotte, Matthews is far enough from the noise of the city, but close enough to enjoy the commodities that Charlotte has to offer, such as experiences and restaurants.
