Thank you for the information. I'm also from New York city, actually from the Bronx. Only two train 🚆 station stops from Yankee Stadium. I currently live in North (coastal) Carolina, borderline South Carolina. I've been wanting to move to Charlotte, NC, for a while. Thank you ✨️. I am so grateful.
So true! I lived in Raleigh for about 6 years and loved it. Charlotte is just a big Raleigh lol. More neighborhoods (and takes a whole heck of a lot longer to drive all the way around it) but very similar ;)
I am a young attorney in Los Angeles, and I greatly want to make the move to NC, especially the Charlotte area. I am looking for a more family oriented place, with kind people and less superficiality. I hope I can make the move there in the next couple of years.
You will absolutely find that here. I can't from NY (another 'keeping up with the jones's kind of place) and I live it here. It's a place where I feel like everyone fits in. And from a personal and political standpoint, everyone's voices is heard. It's a pretty cool spot
I’m from Canada and am looking to move to the U.S….taxes, cost of living, inflation, low wages and general ineptitude of our government are all starting to get really annoying….As a Canadian, the pros of this city really make me feel comfortable with the idea of Charlotte. Seems similar to the vibe I had where I grew up. Thanks for the upload, great content!
I've been watching what is going on in Canada from here and I do agree, it seems to be becoming challenging up there. I LOVE Charlotte (obviously), and I've also assisted others from Canada in their relocation here. Give me a shout if you want to dig in further and learn a bit more about the area and what the move looks like :) 704-559-9169
I used to live in Toronto from 1st grade to 7th grade. May I ask what the flip is going on over there? I always tell people if you don’t like the politics in your state and move to another one don’t vote the same no matter how uncomfortable it is. Ie: Cali ppl moving to TX
THank you so much chicka! Funny enough, I just use my phone's built in mic! I haven't had to get a mic yet but I see it coming soon with more outdoor video coming :)
So much great information! I’ve never seen one of these videos that mentions soil, which is kind of important for the retirement/gardener lifestyle. Thank you!
I had you and others like you when I mentioned it :) I grew up on long island where we had 1' top soil and then sand. Clay can be challenging on unworked ground but I have many friends and family members with beautiful gardens and yards because they took the time to work it. Certainly rich, just different to work in :)
As a transplant from California you did a great job of speaking to the area. One thing I’d say is not correct is planting. Look around there is so much lush greenery, and flowers. I was never able to grow in CA, and here everything seems to take off. Also, mosquitoes really aren’t a big deal. We had those too in CA. One thing add, we have an amazing Farmers Market off exit 6 on the 77.
You are very right about planting. I certainly do NOT have a green thumb at all lol. But those that do plant, the climate makes it ideal for growing :) Glad you're here and thank you for commenting
By your explanation, the Charlotte would be one of the best place to move😍 In every part of the video l imagined myself there😊 thank you for this video that was useful🙏
I truly love it. Only other place I would ever move to is Melborne, FL... because I love to surf and I hate the cold. BUt it really doesn't get very cold here. I think we had maybe a handful days that I could wear my heavy wool coat, other than that it was sweaters. Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
I liked your video. We are going to be moving to a Charlotte suburb in the next year or so. Can you delete the comments of the haters that tell you to go back to Long Island? Please do😊
Got to love the haters lol. Thank you for your kind words and I would of course be happy to help you with your move when the time comes :) Let me know when you'd like to connect ;)
I’m thinking about moving to Charlotte from Long Island NY, we've been trying to buy a house for over a year here and it's just getting harder to land an offer. My cousin moved from Boston to Charlotte and keeps telling ne it will be a great move for us. I’m in the tech industry and my wife in business\logistics, and thinking about starting a family soon, hopefully job opportunities are ample for both us.
There is PLENTY of work here which is a wonderful thing. I moved from Long Island and I would NEVER go back. This has everything I love and none of what I don't about NY. You can always visit. Give me a shout and let me show you what options you have available 704-559-9169
thank you!! will most definitely give you a shout, I’m going to make the move sooner rather than later, house market is acting up everywhere but on Long Island is just insane, no inventory and even with high rates there’re still A LOT of buyers, and for someone like me with no generational wealth it’s almost impossible to get into a house. We want to have our first baby next year and we’d love to have a house before that happens
@@rodrigoturcios593 You mean you aren't a trust fund baby from the Hamptons or north shore? lol I joke (but really...). Yes give me a call even if it's early on and I can help you figure out what area you may want to be in so when the time comes you are all set to go! 704-559-9169
I live in Texas near Dallas and looking to move up there and start my life. My brother lives in fort mills with his kids and I’ve always loved the idea of moving so hopefully this year I’ll make it happen. I was wanting to start a pool cleaning company in Texas here but I’m wondering if there are even enough pools you’d think up there?
Hey there and ty for reaching out. Yes there is a big enough market of pools that would allow for maintenance and installation company to work. Let me now when you are coming out and I'd love to help you!
Hey there! I vote Charlotte all the way.. but i'm a little partial lol. I actually know some great agents I work with in Nashville, TN. So if you do go that route, let me know and I'd be happy to connect you!
great video, thanks. Something I do find not covered in some of these videos (not just yours) is healthcare. I have a history of cancer and would like to be in a city with good cancer care/healthcare. How are the medical facilities?
This is a great topic thank you for sharing this, I'll be sure to do a video on that. Charlotte is an excellent location for healthcare. I will add that depending upon your specific needs, there is also the option to go to Duke Hospitals which is even more specialized if you are needing that. It is 2 hours from Charlotte, but is an option. My husband has had some severe health issues and has been able to tag team between his doctors in Charlotte and those in Durham! BUT if you have cancer needs, there are some exceptional doctors and facilities. The Levine Cancer Institute is renowned. Here is their website! atriumhealth.org/locations/detail/levine-cancer-institute-morehead?GMB&Organic&GCR
I visited Charlotte 3 times so he also raised.So the Charlotte basketball games so it'll paint their game twice.Been the carolyn's on my life and it is a nice city
Ma’am, with all due respect, I was born in NC and am 34, Charlotte has seen multiple tornadoes! Maybe not HUGE TORNADOES, but in fact Mecklenburg County has had tornadoes.
This is true and it has happened, but considering what most of the country considers a tornado, we don't have them. We have small ones that may lift off a roof, and few and far between. Unlike many of my viewers in the midwest who consider a tornado something that will flatten a town. I have seen 2 tornadoes in my 20 years in NC. Both were so minor they barely caused tree damage and lasted a few seconds ;) So this statement is more to ease the minds of those that see tornadoes as something devastating ;) Thank you for watching and for your comments!
Welcome! I grew up in Oceanside, and I will NEVER go back I love it here! Give me a shout and I'd be happy to help you with the planning and finding the perfect spot! 704-559-9169
Allergies aren't too bad. Worst time of year is spring for pollen. The rest of the year is moderate. I'd say north charlotte (Huntersville, Concord) also east charlotte or south charlotte. A lot of areas will depend on budget UT there are truly so many awesome areas and all close to one another (longest drive is from north to south and its 35 min)
Kudos ftom Canada. Do you have some good shooting ranges there ? 😅 I am dying from taxes and Liberalism up here in Montreal. Tnx for great explanation.
haha I feel you there I have friends up there and they are DONE. Yes we have some great outdoor and indoor ranges. There are several long range shooting ranges in various areas. We also have some great club style shooting ranges indoors. My favorite is Blackstone Shooting Range. They allow ANY gun (I've seen some beasts of guns in there) and even have a membership where you are VIP and can walk right in and right onto the range without check in, dedicated lanes, a hang out area and more. I LOVE it. We were VIP for a long time, but I didn't get there enough. Check them out it's awesome and give me a call when you're ready for some Libertarianism ;)
@@livingincharlottenorthcarolina thanks so much you are lucky to have all these. I am looking for jobs and if a company wants me that’s my only chance to come down. Will call you if it ever happens. Tnx again ✌️
same!! 30% combined income tax plus 15% sales tax, and free healthcare thats almost not accessible unless you wait 3 yrs to get a family doctor, 3-6 mos to see a specialist, and 6-12 hours wait in the emergency room.. then the language!!! You wont be entertained in govt offices if you dont speak french, call them instead and you will be told to call back once you learn French 🤷🏻♀️ so now my husband and I is searching for a nursing job in the US, currently researching which state or city is the best for our family
Can we talk about how most of the houses don’t have fences???? Like I’ve never seen a city with so many homes with no fences? Not even on the higher end?
I'm guessing you are from NY or Cali or AZ? I get that comment a lot. Many people dont' like fences and some communities don't permit them (or only permit a certain style like black rail fences). BUT there are plenty of communities that do allow them. I have 4 dogs so having a fence is necessary for me :)
I'm not a huge fan of Hickory, it is a bit of a pass through city, a bit more transient. While it is populated, it is not quite as homey feeling as areas like Denver, Lincolnton, Troutman, Mooresville. I would even recommend Statesville
Hi Lindsey, my fiancé are moving from Chicago. I was wondering what are the top places we should consider renting in and what are areas we should avoid. Based on your other videos South End and Noda seem like our front runners. Thanks
There are SO many great spots. It all comes down to the vibe you want and what you would like to spend monthly. Both of these locations are great for young professionals because by renting there you are walking distance to many things such as dining, bars, entertainment and night life. Both also give you access to the Light Rail. The downside is the price. You should expect to spend $1300+ on a studio apartment (in the newer apartment buildings). That being said, you also have the option to rent a home or apartment just outside these areas and still have easy access to them with a walk/bike ride/short drive. There are certainly locations around these 2 that might not float your boat so if you go outside those areas I'd say you'd probably want to look farther into the city vs outside of. I'd be happy to chat with you and find a bit more about what you're looking for and see if I can point you in the direction of other areas to consider :) 704-559-9169
Stay in Chicago! You kept voting democrats and liberals! Making you part of the issue that happened in Chicago! So fix it before you bring your liberals view down south
@@ericcarter2020 I don’t think your comment is appropriate or warranted, especially on this platform in regards to Lindseys video or my comment to her (not you). You’re trolling does nothing to help or support her video or business. It only highlights your selfish need to express your political opinion. Read the room buddy and have some respect!
Hi, I'm Vietnamese that currently living in Atlanta area, but I'm not really happy here. NC always my destination so do you know in this city if they have Viet community. I really dont want much Vietnamese since it's just make my dream competitive. I wanna open a Phở restaurant there!
Welcome to my channel. To answer your question, YES we have a large Viatnamese community. And while Pho is popular, I'm sure you would do well to open one ;)
my Pros and Cons of Living in Charlotte North Carolina Pros will Be Better NY city, LA Ca, Atlanta Ga Why Better Planning + Blue Ridge Mountains 2.5 hrs + Charleston SC, 4.5 hr + jobs work Unc Unw and more +from Hendersonville NC - No Cons * Great info thanks
Hi Lindsey, great video. Just want to check if USD 73k annual salary will be sufficient to live in Charlotte with a non working wife and 2 years old daughter.
I would say it certainly would be, but it would depend on where you live. There are a variety of areas just outside Charlotte that offer mor options for housing in smaller budgets. But I would absolutely say Charlotte has what you need
Thanks for the wonderful detailed video. I am a Canadian trying to find a good place for my high school daughter at the same find something convenient for myself as I tend to fly often for work. I will reach out to you in the next few days. Thank you.
For those who fly for work this is certainly an ideal location. Halfway between NY and FL it's only a 1.5 hr flight either way. And You can get to the airport within 30 min from anywhere in Charlotte. The school systems are awesome AND school choice (power to choose your school) has just been put into place which is very helpful. For ease, please call or text me at 704-559-9169
What would be the best area for me to move to im in the healthcare industry im a pharmacy tech and i also work at the plasma center learning phlebotomy
Hmm there are so many options. As Charlotte is a hub for healthcare there are a lot of options where you could end up working. If you want to make sure you are limiting your traffic on your drive you may want to look into. Matthews is a great spot to start. Close to I-485, close to Ballantyne, and not a bad drive if you end up in Pineville or closer to downtown Id be happy to hop on a call and help you hone in on the details if you like
Wow just wow. Must be one of the best kept secrets in the Southeast! Also, I lived in Phoenix where they basically lie about day trips, why do I say that? The jobs pay very little and you can't afford them! I hope that isn't an issue there.
Hello! Your video is great, appreciate you for all the info. Question just wondering about the pets, I have two cats they are indoor as well outdoors, since many of properties are no fences/walls, is it a problem with neighbors if cats run out into their yards? How big deal is if near the woods - predators, what predators are most common?
most don't mind cats coming in their yards, or dogs, but dogs pooping in their yards is def a no no. IN charlotte there aren't many predators. Occasional Coyote farther outside the city in the country but that's about it.
Prices have not declined in Charlotte, but we have seen homes selling for less than list price. Mostly because sellers are listing their homes for far more that they should wishing the market was still like it was in 2021 lol. But on average the market is still increasing by an average of 6% over the year. Not as noticeable because we had 2 years back to back of 20% increase year over year, but due to the amount of people moving to the area and still having a shortage of homes (not enough to meet demand) we are still seeing as many homes selling week over week as being listed week over week. It is projected that these prices will continue to consistently increase year over year. As we see (hopefully) rates drop in April/May 2023, we will see more buyers.... more buyers increases demand which further pushes prices up. So yes, buying sooner than later and just refinancing when rates drop is a great option. We will not see a 2008 happen, there will be no market drop out because of the way in which this "housing boom" came about (heavy demand due to low rates vs heavy demand due to 'Adjustable Rates' that were all called in and collapsed). Hope this helps!
@@Shishio28 Some that I have seen are selling for about $10,000 under if they have been sitting a little bit. Personally instead of offering less for price I encourage my buyers to ask for seller paid closing costs. Being the home will appraise for list price (I check before advising this) the buyer can get the home AND get up to 3% of the purchase price back in CASH at closing paid by the seller. This can help pay your closing costs down and/or help you with any updates you may want to make to the house immediately. VS paying a little less now and only altering your mortgage payments by a few bucks a month. Strategy is def back in play in this market (Vs selling your left kidney to get a house like 2020 and 2021)
There are many. Some in the city and many in the suburbs. The areas of higher affluence have the better schools however there are some areas in Harrisburgh, Concord, Davidson, Fort Mill and many others that have good schools. The challenge is not all schools K-12 are equal in their ratings. Could have great elementary and not as good HS rating. It all depends on the area. In addition. The Equity of an area also affects the school scoring so if there are more families of low financial aptitude the school rating is lower. I'd be happy to help you find the right area to meet your needs in schools and a home
She a New Yorker! Never had a car until she move to Charlotte! It best she go back to her liberals view state! We in the south getting tired of these blue state supporters moving here! But couldn't fixed the problem they created in New York
@Eric carter you are aware NC is more a blue state then red your right its not liberal viewed as New York but NC is a swing state leaning towards liberal thinking isn't your own governor Democrat I'm in Florida now here it's conservative Ron DeSantis is our governor
great question! while it isnt horrible, there are still several areas of he city with really bad congestion. Because Charlotte is a driving city, few use the mass transportation (and the areas serviced are restrictive) so unless roads are expanded (difficult in some of the more congested areas which are in the older neighborhoods and have high concentration of residential living) there wont be many changes. Traffic is less going and coming from outside the city than moving about in the areas between I77, 74, 277 an 485 (the lower V of Charlotte)
Hmm that one would be a bit fewer and far between (unlike NY). But if you do want a doorman and have no car you'll want to look in Uptown in one of the high rises :)
I've lived in a lot of places and this is the most friendly of all the places I've been. You can find racism anywhere if you're looking for it. That is sadly human nature (having bad apples), but Charlotte is a huge melting pot and everyone is very nice to each other. Waving and saying hi walking past someone on the street is common
There are positions with trucking companies. Charlotte sits in the middle of the I-85 and I-77 intersection and has access to I-40 and I-95 as well as I-81 all close by so it is a hub for transport on the East Coast
Uptown charlotte (unlike NY we just have an Uptown no downtown lol) is very safe. There is one area on the outskirts of the city on the north side that was not the greatest a few years ago but it has been cleaned up. Honestly its a super safe city. UNC area is great! I actually live in this area and I have some neighbors that don't even lock their doors. The area between University and Noda does have some not so great spots but that's like any city. I can certainly guide you but I would also take a look at the police crime site to tell you what areas might not be as great. there are only a few not great areas in Charlotte. they are truly very limited
@@livingincharlottenorthcarolina ya she is hell of actor and with first look that’s all it came to my mind then I had to make sure ur not her . But thanks for the video
Thinking of moving there next year February coming from Henderson, NV. I’m originally from Hawaii so seeing nothing but desert is killing me. Not only that, people here are rude and inconsiderate. Thankfully my job is paying for most of the relocating.
O gosh yes get the heck out of there. I love the people in charlotte. everyone is friendly and it is full of trees and close (ish) to the beach. 3.5 hrs. give me a shout and I'd be happy to help you!
actually no! We didn't see any real affects of it, to the north a bit and east of the city up in the mountains is where there was flooding and damage. There was some power out but that was only for a day or so. Still to date the last hurricane to bring damage to Charlotte was Hugo in 1989 I will add the storm in Asheville area is a 1000 year storm meaning the area hasn't seen a storm like that in 1000 years (maybe more). It would be unlikely to see it again in our lifetime
Hi, Lindsey! My family of 4 is moving to North Carolina soon and I am looking at the best place to rent a house in the Charlotte area. I am looking for a 4 bedroom home, 2,100 or maybe a bit more for rent. Good middle and high schools. Family friendly neighborhood (less crime) please help! ❤
Hi there! There are a few different areas I'd recommend but it depends on price, type or school etc. Please reach out and I can help you even better! 704-559-9169
@@sandraburns-qi1nv That's not really true actually. We have extremely low crime especially when compared to the rest of the country. The challenge is, the job of the news is to Scare people and cause you to be shocked or stunned and feel like the sky is falling. If you turn off the news and look at the data, Charlotte is incredibly safe :)
HI there so sorry I missed this comment. There are several areas great for investing but it depends on what you want such as: Families, Air BNB or Luxury. We also have a high demand for Mid-Term rentals like corporate housing. If you want to deep dive I'd be happy to hop on a call :) 704-559-9169

Hey there "this girl" answering... I am not originally from NC, I'm from NY originally and moved to NC when I was 15. Not sure why where I'm from matters, but I've been in Charlotte for 12 years. Does that suffice?
@@livingincharlottenorthcarolina Oh, thanks for answering. I just wanted know from where you're cause I can understand your English clearly and that's important to me.
@peterkindelangonzalez7867 haha! No southern drawl from me, but def say "yall" a lot haha. Glad my voice is clear to understand :) thank you for watching :)
Charlotte NC is definitely diverse. It's a melting pot almost similarly to NYC where I'm from. Demographic wise, Charlotte is White/European American: 40% Black/African American: 34% Native American: 0.1% Asian: 7% Pacific Islander: 0.1% Two or more Races: 4% Hispanic/Latino: 15%
Your youtube channel is great but the fact I can't even look at homes on your website without clicking a million questions and providing an e-mail address is super off putting
Thank you for letting me know. We are trying a new system to better help those searching find the right home. I'd be happy to help you personally and send you some homes that might meet your needs. Would that be of help? Please feel free to call or text 704.559.9169

ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GOOD TOWNHOMES OR APARTMENTS OR OTHER RENTALS NEAR MAYBE PLAZA MIDWOOD OR OTHER WALKABLE AREAS / CLOSE ENOUGH DISTANCE TO BE ABLE TO BIKE TO MORE ACTION? I AM AFRAID OF COCKROACHES
Sadly I don't work with rentals, Charlotte doesn't operate like other cities in that rentals don't really work with realtors unfortunately. BUT I do know there are several in all of the walkable areas. But the closer to them you are the more expensive it will be
@@livingincharlottenorthcarolina Got it, sorry for the all caps, I was hoping to get your attention. There are not too many resources about the area, if you know of any, 'heard good things about' for specific buildings, near say plaza midwood or access walkability to the trailsystem that would help me out for when I visit for a potential move. I have a remote job based in charlotte and am considering moving there (while also trying to be open minded to alternatives.) A lot of info out there I see labels charlotte as boring, but it seems to be up-and coming and has a ton of green spaces and biking/walking within the city. Thanks for the info! I lived in Denver CO for a good bit, and it seems like Denver maybe 10 years ago, which is hard to find out there.
bahahahhah OMG you're right! I legit forget about it sometimes haha. I was scared by a crazy fluke wind storm that hit while I was 3 stories in the air in a swim suit hahahah

Got to love the haters lol. Thank you for your kind words and I would of course be happy to help you with your move when the time comes :) Let me know when you'd like to connect ;)
I’m thinking about moving to Charlotte from Long Island NY, we've been trying to buy a house for over a year here and it's just getting harder to land an offer. My cousin moved from Boston to Charlotte and keeps telling ne it will be a great move for us. I’m in the tech industry and my wife in business\logistics, and thinking about starting a family soon, hopefully job opportunities are ample for both us.
There is PLENTY of work here which is a wonderful thing. I moved from Long Island and I would NEVER go back. This has everything I love and none of what I don't about NY. You can always visit.
Give me a shout and let me show you what options you have available 704-559-9169
thank you!! will most definitely give you a shout, I’m going to make the move sooner rather than later, house market is acting up everywhere but on Long Island is just insane, no inventory and even with high rates there’re still A LOT of buyers, and for someone like me with no generational wealth it’s almost impossible to get into a house. We want to have our first baby next year and we’d love to have a house before that happens

I loved your video on Charlotte. I am debating between a move to Charlotte, NC or Nashville, TN. Does your agency have offices in Nashville also?
Hey there! I vote Charlotte all the way.. but i'm a little partial lol. I actually know some great agents I work with in Nashville, TN. So if you do go that route, let me know and I'd be happy to connect you!

great video, thanks. Something I do find not covered in some of these videos (not just yours) is healthcare. I have a history of cancer and would like to be in a city with good cancer care/healthcare. How are the medical facilities?
This is a great topic thank you for sharing this, I'll be sure to do a video on that. Charlotte is an excellent location for healthcare. I will add that depending upon your specific needs, there is also the option to go to Duke Hospitals which is even more specialized if you are needing that. It is 2 hours from Charlotte, but is an option. My husband has had some severe health issues and has been able to tag team between his doctors in Charlotte and those in Durham! BUT if you have cancer needs, there are some exceptional doctors and facilities. The Levine Cancer Institute is renowned. Here is their website!

Ma’am, with all due respect, I was born in NC and am 34, Charlotte has seen multiple tornadoes! Maybe not HUGE TORNADOES, but in fact Mecklenburg County has had tornadoes.
This is true and it has happened, but considering what most of the country considers a tornado, we don't have them. We have small ones that may lift off a roof, and few and far between. Unlike many of my viewers in the midwest who consider a tornado something that will flatten a town. I have seen 2 tornadoes in my 20 years in NC. Both were so minor they barely caused tree damage and lasted a few seconds ;) So this statement is more to ease the minds of those that see tornadoes as something devastating ;) Thank you for watching and for your comments!
My life is great in Charlotte. I was born and raised here.
love hearing a native still loving it. I have many who dont like the growth :) Thanks for visiting my channel!
thank you so much we are moving from Long Island NY ❤

How’s the allergens? And what’s a good area of town for a small family of 5? We live in TX in a suburban area right now.
Allergies aren't too bad. Worst time of year is spring for pollen. The rest of the year is moderate. I'd say north charlotte (Huntersville, Concord) also east charlotte or south charlotte. A lot of areas will depend on budget UT there are truly so many awesome areas and all close to one another (longest drive is from north to south and its 35 min)
Kudos ftom Canada.
Do you have some good shooting ranges there ? 😅
I am dying from taxes and Liberalism up here in Montreal. Tnx for great explanation.
haha I feel you there I have friends up there and they are DONE. Yes we have some great outdoor and indoor ranges. There are several long range shooting ranges in various areas. We also have some great club style shooting ranges indoors. My favorite is Blackstone Shooting Range. They allow ANY gun (I've seen some beasts of guns in there) and even have a membership where you are VIP and can walk right in and right onto the range without check in, dedicated lanes, a hang out area and more. I LOVE it. We were VIP for a long time, but I didn't get there enough. Check them out it's awesome and give me a call when you're ready for some Libertarianism ;)

Can we talk about how most of the houses don’t have fences???? Like I’ve never seen a city with so many homes with no fences? Not even on the higher end?
I'm guessing you are from NY or Cali or AZ? I get that comment a lot. Many people dont' like fences and some communities don't permit them (or only permit a certain style like black rail fences). BUT there are plenty of communities that do allow them. I have 4 dogs so having a fence is necessary for me :)
Is Hickory NC a nice town? It looks like there are some good deals there still. I am interested in your opinion?
I'm not a huge fan of Hickory, it is a bit of a pass through city, a bit more transient. While it is populated, it is not quite as homey feeling as areas like Denver, Lincolnton, Troutman, Mooresville. I would even recommend Statesville
Hi Lindsey, my fiancé are moving from Chicago. I was wondering what are the top places we should consider renting in and what are areas we should avoid. Based on your other videos South End and Noda seem like our front runners. Thanks
There are SO many great spots. It all comes down to the vibe you want and what you would like to spend monthly. Both of these locations are great for young professionals because by renting there you are walking distance to many things such as dining, bars, entertainment and night life. Both also give you access to the Light Rail. The downside is the price. You should expect to spend $1300+ on a studio apartment (in the newer apartment buildings). That being said, you also have the option to rent a home or apartment just outside these areas and still have easy access to them with a walk/bike ride/short drive. There are certainly locations around these 2 that might not float your boat so if you go outside those areas I'd say you'd probably want to look farther into the city vs outside of. I'd be happy to chat with you and find a bit more about what you're looking for and see if I can point you in the direction of other areas to consider :) 704-559-9169

Hi Lindsey, great video. Just want to check if USD 73k annual salary will be sufficient to live in Charlotte with a non working wife and 2 years old daughter.
I would say it certainly would be, but it would depend on where you live. There are a variety of areas just outside Charlotte that offer mor options for housing in smaller budgets. But I would absolutely say Charlotte has what you need
Thanks for the wonderful detailed video. I am a Canadian trying to find a good place for my high school daughter at the same find something convenient for myself as I tend to fly often for work. I will reach out to you in the next few days. Thank you.
For those who fly for work this is certainly an ideal location. Halfway between NY and FL it's only a 1.5 hr flight either way.

A lot of shows and movies are filmed in NC.
There really are! I watched Shallow Hal the other day because it was on, and realized the whole movie was filmed in Charlotte! SO fun!
What would be the best area for me to move to im in the healthcare industry im a pharmacy tech and i also work at the plasma center learning phlebotomy
Hmm there are so many options. As Charlotte is a hub for healthcare there are a lot of options where you could end up working. If you want to make sure you are limiting your traffic on your drive you may want to look into. Matthews is a great spot to start. Close to I-485, close to Ballantyne, and not a bad drive if you end up in Pineville or closer to downtown
Id be happy to hop on a call and help you hone in on the details if you like
Wow just wow. Must be one of the best kept secrets in the Southeast! Also, I lived in Phoenix where they basically lie about day trips, why do I say that? The jobs pay very little and you can't afford them! I hope that isn't an issue there.
I will say day trips here are legit! I've taken so many awesome weekend or day trips in the area and LOVE IT!!!
Hello! Your video is great, appreciate you for all the info.
Question just wondering about the pets, I have two cats they are indoor as well outdoors, since many of properties are no fences/walls, is it a problem with neighbors if cats run out into their yards?
How big deal is if near the woods - predators, what predators are most common?
most don't mind cats coming in their yards, or dogs, but dogs pooping in their yards is def a no no. IN charlotte there aren't many predators. Occasional Coyote farther outside the city in the country but that's about it.
I will still take Charlotte over 99.9% of most northeast cities and the Midwest as well.
dude... Facts! #ExNewYorker
Are there any good IT jobs out there in Charlotte? I am a network administrator in the military and I plan on getting out soon
There are actually. There are a lot of banks headquartered here but not just banks, other major corporations so there are a ton of options
Your videos are very informative. You're beautiful too, so I love watching them.
aww thank you so much
Have home proces started to decline in charlotte and if so on average, how much so far?
Prices have not declined in Charlotte, but we have seen homes selling for less than list price. Mostly because sellers are listing their homes for far more that they should wishing the market was still like it was in 2021 lol. But on average the market is still increasing by an average of 6% over the year. Not as noticeable because we had 2 years back to back of 20% increase year over year, but due to the amount of people moving to the area and still having a shortage of homes (not enough to meet demand) we are still seeing as many homes selling week over week as being listed week over week. It is projected that these prices will continue to consistently increase year over year. As we see (hopefully) rates drop in April/May 2023, we will see more buyers.... more buyers increases demand which further pushes prices up. So yes, buying sooner than later and just refinancing when rates drop is a great option. We will not see a 2008 happen, there will be no market drop out because of the way in which this "housing boom" came about (heavy demand due to low rates vs heavy demand due to 'Adjustable Rates' that were all called in and collapsed). Hope this helps!
@@livingincharlottenorthcarolina thank you for the in depth response. On average how much under list price are the pricing the property?
@@Shishio28 Some that I have seen are selling for about $10,000 under if they have been sitting a little bit. Personally instead of offering less for price I encourage my buyers to ask for seller paid closing costs. Being the home will appraise for list price (I check before advising this) the buyer can get the home AND get up to 3% of the purchase price back in CASH at closing paid by the seller. This can help pay your closing costs down and/or help you with any updates you may want to make to the house immediately. VS paying a little less now and only altering your mortgage payments by a few bucks a month. Strategy is def back in play in this market (Vs selling your left kidney to get a house like 2020 and 2021)
What are best areas for good public schools?
There are many. Some in the city and many in the suburbs. The areas of higher affluence have the better schools however there are some areas in Harrisburgh, Concord, Davidson, Fort Mill and many others that have good schools. The challenge is not all schools K-12 are equal in their ratings. Could have great elementary and not as good HS rating. It all depends on the area. In addition. The Equity of an area also affects the school scoring so if there are more families of low financial aptitude the school rating is lower. I'd be happy to help you find the right area to meet your needs in schools and a home
Is it diverse like they say? 160 languages spoken in metro area?
wow 160 languages? I would say I wouldn't be surprised. Any ethnicity or language I've run into in NYC I also hear and see here in Charlotte
Why was transportation listed as a con when you mentioned Charlotte has a trolley and train system and making major strides to keep up the needs
She a New Yorker! Never had a car until she move to Charlotte! It best she go back to her liberals view state! We in the south getting tired of these blue state supporters moving here! But couldn't fixed the problem they created in New York
@Eric carter you are aware NC is more a blue state then red your right its not liberal viewed as New York but NC is a swing state leaning towards liberal thinking isn't your own governor Democrat I'm in Florida now here it's conservative Ron DeSantis is our governor
great question! while it isnt horrible, there are still several areas of he city with really bad congestion. Because Charlotte is a driving city, few use the mass transportation (and the areas serviced are restrictive) so unless roads are expanded (difficult in some of the more congested areas which are in the older neighborhoods and have high concentration of residential living) there wont be many changes. Traffic is less going and coming from outside the city than moving about in the areas between I77, 74, 277 an 485 (the lower V of Charlotte)
@@ericcarter2020 why is accessible, safe, and convenient public transportation such a bad thing to conservatives?
Excellent video!
thank you so much! and thanks for watching
Hi, can you please me find a place. I don’t have a car. But I want a place nice and quiet, with a doorman 😊
Hmm that one would be a bit fewer and far between (unlike NY). But if you do want a doorman and have no car you'll want to look in Uptown in one of the high rises :)
@@livingincharlottenorthcarolina Thank you so much 🙂
How are the people there? I am considering moving here! Is there a lot of racism or are people pretty open to others?
I've lived in a lot of places and this is the most friendly of all the places I've been. You can find racism anywhere if you're looking for it. That is sadly human nature (having bad apples), but Charlotte is a huge melting pot and everyone is very nice to each other. Waving and saying hi walking past someone on the street is common
is there local trucking jobs like old dominion freight
There are positions with trucking companies. Charlotte sits in the middle of the I-85 and I-77 intersection and has access to I-40 and I-95 as well as I-81 all close by so it is a hub for transport on the East Coast
Thank you so much 💚

How safe would you say the city is especially downtown, uptown and UNC area?
Uptown charlotte (unlike NY we just have an Uptown no downtown lol) is very safe. There is one area on the outskirts of the city on the north side that was not the greatest a few years ago but it has been cleaned up. Honestly its a super safe city. UNC area is great! I actually live in this area and I have some neighbors that don't even lock their doors. The area between University and Noda does have some not so great spots but that's like any city. I can certainly guide you but I would also take a look at the police crime site to tell you what areas might not be as great. there are only a few not great areas in Charlotte. they are truly very limited

Do hurricanes & flooding hit the city - uptown area?
actually no! We didn't see any real affects of it, to the north a bit and east of the city up in the mountains is where there was flooding and damage. There was some power out but that was only for a day or so. Still to date the last hurricane to bring damage to Charlotte was Hugo in 1989
I will add the storm in Asheville area is a 1000 year storm meaning the area hasn't seen a storm like that in 1000 years (maybe more). It would be unlikely to see it again in our lifetime
