You did a great job giving the Charlotte area highlights, I still suggest anyone thinking of moving here to do your homework. RENT for at least one year near your new job, and then on weekends explore this City, if you find a place to buy, take a day off work a Friday would be perfect leave your place of employment and drive to where you think you want to live. That will give you a good idea what kind of traffic you will be in every day. Make peace with the traffic, Charlotte is a fast growing city and with that comes growing pains. If you have or plan to have kids, do your homework on the School System in Charlotte. Charlotte does have a lot to offer anyone, but I cannot stress enough don’t come here and find a realtor until you have lived here at least a full year, it will take you that long just to experience everything on offer. When you do decide where you think you want to buy a home, don’t be shy get out walk the neighborhood and talk to people. I made the mistake in the early 80s moving here and not knowing anything about the city, a realtor showed me parts of the city I didn’t like, she didn’t listen to me, needless to say I bought a house when I should have rented, I cannot express enough that you should not buy anything until you have taken a year to experience Charlotte. If you are moving here the best of luck, you will find a great place to live. Just don’t buy in a new neighborhood, buy in an established neighborhood, that way you will know what is around you, a new home can be inviting, but be careful because you don’t know what Developers are going to build around you. Welcome Home.
Your video focuses on the young families, but what would be your recommendation for folks over 65 looking for a quiet area close to amenities and conveniences where a car isn't so necessary? Would it be Uptown or Mint Hill? And what about the humid summer weather? Is the Charlotte area just best for the retired snowbirds as an alternative to Florida?
Charlotte has several options for active adult communities with plenty of amenities. They are mostly located in the suburbs. Lake Norman, Waxhaw, Matthews, Concord and several other areas.
We’re looking for mountainous regions where the humidity is low and summer temperatures are pretty low. Apparently Beech Mountain is one of those areas. Are you familiar with it? Do you have real estate agents in mountains region areas? Apparently natural disasters are a little less severe.
I only mentioned Beech Mountain because I did a Google search for areas that had the least amount of extreme weather. Now that I know what counties it’s located in I could take a look at cities or towns I suppose. We are seniors and are looking for a single level home. Thank you for getting back to me. I will email you tomorrow.

@@CharlotteLivingLifestyle Actually I wasn't thinking about formal senior residences, simply about life for the older demographic.

Yes, most of those areas. Do you have an area or two in mind? Is Beech Mountain one of them?

Aren't those rural suburbs places where there are an abundance of annoying insects and mosquitoes especially in the evening???
