Heya more questions about Charlotte - we have been told good things but something that keeps coming up is that Charlotte has an incredibly high crime rate. Is this so? Why does this keep coming up?

My pleasure. I hope the info helps. :) Charlotte is very family oriented and full of friendly people. If you decide to move there, you and your family will have a bunch of friends in no time at all!

Thanks so much Mrs Moochie I appreciate any point of view. We are looking at Charlotte because it looks like you can get a nice, decent size house and a decent rent. We have also been told ten fold that Charlotte and NC are great family oriented lifestyle. I have two young kids a 3 year old and a 5 month old so schools are important. Will check out the links. I will let you know if there are any other questions.

Hi Pet-partner, We lived in North Charlotte for a few years before moving here. We lived in the University area. We enjoyed living there. There was a nice library, walking paths, mall, stores, etc. If we would have stayed longer, I think we would have moved to South Charlotte or maybe Huntersville. Some of the South Charlotte neighborhoods (Dilworth, Myers Park, Matthews, and South Park) that are just beautiful. South Charlotte has the historic neighborhoods while North Charlotte is relativity new in comparison. Huntersville is a suburb in North Charlotte that I believe would be a really nice area for families. It is on Lake Norman has a low crime rate and has good schools. Carolinas Medical Centers are all located all around Charlotte and the suburbs. Here is a link: http://www.carolinashealthcare.org/ Here is a link to the public Charlotte-Mecklenburg School district: http://www.cms.k12.nc.us/Pages/Default.aspx We do not have children yet so I am sorry that I can't be too helpful about schools. Please let me know if you have any other questions and good luck with your potential decision.

There are lots of great areas to live, as well as great schools. The medical facilities are excellent, and Charlotte is close to Durham for Duke University Hospitals and Chapel Hill for UNC. It depends on what type of lifestyle you would like to enjoy...close in to city, or out in the the suburbs. Lake Norman, Weddington, and Fort Mill (SC) are also options if you would like to be outside of the city limits. If you were to divide Charlotte into four areas, East and West may be considered Less desirable, while South and North more so. Of course, there are exceptions to this as well.
