Providence Estates East

• Neighborhood in Charlotte, NC
• 10

Niche User: I love where I live because it is in a quieter part of Charlotte, but still close to everything that I need. I live with my parents to try to save money for school, but it is only about 25 minutes to get to campus for class. I think that Matthews, NC will grow a lot in the next 10 years, but still always manage to have that small time atmosphere. I would choose to live here if I did it again.

Sardis Forest

• Neighborhood in Charlotte, NC
• 19

Niche User: I grew up and spent pretty much my whole life in this area before moving off to college. The neighborhood I lived in was quiet and safe and was located in the school zones for the best elementary, middle, and high school around. Because I lived in this area, I had access to some of the best education in the city and a safe learning environment. I grew up in a great environment for children with many opportunities to be involved and explore my talents. Living here definitely prepared me academically and personally for future success.

If I could do it again I would move here that is, wish I had a bigger place, but can't afford to move into a bigger place in this area at a price in my budget. Overall this area makes you feel good coming home, plus its peaceful.

Brookhill

• Neighborhood in Charlotte, NC
• 3

Niche User: Charlotte is a smaller version of Atlanta but less diverse, few/no natural disasters, and less traffic (unless you live up near lake Norman). People are friendly and almost nobody is original to Charlotte. Many moved here from the NE or Midwest. Charlotte is growing significantly and many corporations relocating here. Lots to do but still lacking major sports teams, theatre, music, and attracting higher level entertainment.

Current Resident: Every yard seems to be perfectly manicured at all times. There isn't an overwhelming amount of traffic. The only traffic that does come through the neighborhood is from the families that live here. I don't have to worry about if my neighbors are good people, everyone is so friendly and personable. Living in Oxford Hunt is care-free.
