    I moved from Boston, MA to Concord, NC as well. Far enough from the city, but still close enough. I love it here as well.

    Welcome ! I Moved here from the DMV & I’m originally from NY. It was rough years ago a bit slow but worth it ! No regrets for me & I went ahead and got a house 🏡 & was blessed to be able to afford it on my own. Praying 🙏🏽 your journey continues to be wonderful ❤I moved near the white water center about 12 min from the airport & I love it ! My house is now worth double 💰

    I lived in Dover, Delaware for a year as a kid in the first grade. We then moved to Atlanta. I hope to relocate to Charlotte in the next year. I have visited Charlotte like thirteen times since 2018. I fell in love with the city when I first visited the Queen city.

    And don’t spend $2k plus to rent an apartment uptown, you can rent a 4 bdrm house with lots of space for cheaper in steel creek, I’m just sayin, 🤷🏽‍♂️-“Make a lot of money, but live below your means”😎🤑, you’ll enjoy your money a whole lot better👍🏾🤓, plus you’ll have some left over to invest

So thank you for including some suggestions. I'm excited about embarking into this new chapter and building community. Thanks for the helpful information. This helped me so much and I took notes. ❤️

    I love your vibe. I just watched another video that really advised to relocate there. I am so glad your channel came up. I need a change from where I am for many reasons. Charlotte was on my list to move with my husband before he passed away😢. While circumstances have changed I do believe God can work it out in His way on my behalf. I am prayerfully praying for His direction. Although there are some hurdles...I am convinced it will work out.

    For your channel. Baby girl when I saw your title. I said oh. I didn't need to see this because that's my chosen destination to move. I'm from Connecticut so I know the abnormal thing that you're talking about Delaware and Jersey. However, I'm down in North Carolina with my mom temporarily until I get my home and Charlotte. Can you tell me what is the safest place for my husband and I to live? I kind of wanna be able to go outside and walk my dog at night dogs. I also carry, so I'm not trying to handle issues. And I don't want to ever have to use my weapon, but that's why you don't move to areas where you might have to help assistablish am I do? I'm 61st time moving away from my family. Khan's about moving away, is I miss my grandbaby's all 4 of them. Plus it plus is finally getting my mind right and living for myself and not everybody else. Oh, it also about the churches. I need a good church, says handcuff. Foot stomping praise and deliver delivering. Tong talking lane of hands on type of church

    BALLENTYNE is where the upper class or rich class live in Charlotte, DO NOT LIVE IN BALLENTYNE, save your money and find areas along 485 beltway that are quiet, have bars , restaurants,supermarkets, schools parks and clubs and housing all in the same area, that way you never have to leave your area, live cheaper and enjoy your money, uptown is too expensive even if you can afford it 🤷🏽‍♂️, but find areas along the beltway or Gastonia, concord , fort mill, Indian trail etc, even waxhaw(Audrey kell shopping center area). 😎👍🏾
