I used to live in the University area, which was pretty nice. Now I live off of Old Statesville, both areas are great in my opinion. It depends on your price range

Indian Trail area is very nice and safe. It is in Union County though. But the good thing is the schools are all rated excellent and taxes are low her.

jj in Federal Way, Washington said: Ok, where are the best neighborhoods in Charlotte. We are planning to move there very soon. Please help. We want to live in Mecklenburg County, they have it seperated by areas. Which would you recommend for good schools, and a safe place to raise children?

I am a realtor in Charlotte that works with listed homes & by owner homes. If you give me some specifics, I'd be glad to help you learn the area & whats available.

head to South Carolina, only 25 minutes from uptown. Safer, better schools and lower taxes!

If you insist on staying within Meck. County there are alot of folks that are drawn to the South Charlotte area (for example areas 4 or 5, or another example zip code 28277). But Charlotte is a city that is very spread out so it is best to pinpoint where your job will be first (think commute times). You have also received some good information if you wish to look outside the Meck. County lines as well.

Here is a great site that maps out the areas of crime in Charlotte maps.cmpdweb.org/
You can'r go wrong with Myers Park --big $$$ for homes.. Union County has excellent schools and excellent schools. Huntersville, NC was rated one of the best communities to live in the country (top 100)
Good Luck

I live in the 28277 area, and would not recommend it. The traffic is much too heavy, and not enough roads have been planned. Also, the crime had become much higher. It is a good location for schools. They are removing alot of the natural areas and putting up medical buildings everywhere.

Your best bet is to relocate to upstate SC(Fort Mill or Rock Hill). Mecklenburg County(Charlotte) will eat you alive from high taxes. The job market here is bad and scarce. Best thing to do is get on with a Temp Agency(Manpower). Ballyntyne, Dilworth or even Mint Hill around Charlotte maybe something to look into. Good luck.

Single mother looking at a very possible job-offer in uptown Carlotte. Looking for a safe, affordable area ($150K-200K range) with great schools but not a long commute (10-15 min max) to work. A close friend living in the area recommended Union County. Any advice would be much appreciated at this point

I meant Charlotte, sorry.

I'm not striking a gold mine with finding "ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT or PROGRAM ASSISTANT" work in Charolette, NC. I may have to take a pay cut, but the job market is not jumping out at me in this area. Looking for Universities, Colleges, or Federal Government. I know someone that lives in Charolette, but they are working in the DC area. I live in Maryland, nearest Baltimore. HELP!

Sarita....Jobs are T-I-G-H-T in CLT.....I have a full time job but been looking for part time....When you have to compete for a "part time job"....theres a problem..NC is not the best state to be looking for a job right...the area is saturated with job lookers......Basically too many people....and not enough companies to keep up with the influx of job lookers...Good luck though.

I live in Atlanta and i am ready to get out of here. I thought the blacks in Georgia were doing so much.Ha ha ha, what a laugh. All i have found since i came here is deceit ripoffs,laws that are not even enforced.Atlanta is a big joke. it's all about self. even if you run into a financial problem and need some assistance,if you are not a member of that church they won't help you.if there is an emergency like seniors lights going off,maybe they weren't aware of what was going on until the last minute. If you go to a place for help, they will put you on a waiting list for six weeks. I am from North Carolina,and i am trying my best to get out of here. I have learned a lot in Georgia,and that is lie's and greed!

This is probably, because you lived in Alpharetta and not Atlanta. I am a black, female born and raised in the real Atlanta(Fulton County), a Grady baby at that. You shouldn't label the whole state of GA, because of your bad experience. My husband was born in NY, but raised in Durham and he will be the first person to tell you the NC has good parts as well as bad.

I will graduate with my masters in social work in May and I plan to move to Charlotte in June at the latest July. My question is how is the job market for social workers? I leave in Michigan will it be hard to get interviews if I still have a Michigan number and address? I am in need of some answers thanks so much!

I'm looking for any good advise from anyone with any information. I am from York, Pennsylvania. Myself and my sisters are looking to move to charolette NC in the spring of 2012. we are not sure where to start as to finding a nice, safe, and friendly enviroment. I have heard alot of people speak highly of raleigh NC but my sisters recommend charolette. I just would like to know where the nice spots are before i make my big move,we plan to visit this year in june to check things out. we are all in the nursing field and also would like somewhere that might be close by any hospitals or nursing homes. we are looking for apartments with a 3 bedroom.. any recommendations please feel free to contact me @ Katisha22@gmail.com i appreciate any information....Thanks Alot!!!!! :)

curiousi T in North Bergen, New Jersey said: im a nurse, moved to NC 1.5 yrs ago.. this place sucks , i live outside charlotte, and they treat nurses like slaves.. also low pay and jobs are scarce.

Lower pay because the cost of living is tremendously lower than NY or New Jersey areas!! Weather is a WHOLE lot nicer too than NY or NJ! That's probably why there are so few of us Charlotte natives, because so many folks from up north moved down here and most of them most enjoy it, because many of them are still here! Jobs are much more scarce everywhere since the turn of the economy, but if you are willing to increase the low statistical rating from 25% of the general US population being a true "A" employee and work extra hard, you might be one of the last people standing when it comes to companies making decisions about who they will lay off next and who they will keep. There are parts of Charlotte that is definitely the pits and certainly not the place I grew up in, but I don't think anyone can say any place is like where they grew up if they are 40 to 80 years old today. South Charlotte is a very nice place to live and if you "work hard", you might get lots of raises and decide you like it here. If you don't get any raise, just be lucky you have a job, it's definitely better than the alternative. There are far too many folks (especially the younger generation) who feels like the world owes them a living, and usually it's because their parents spoiled them rotten and handed them everything on a silver platter, and then when they start working, they feel they should make a million dollars a year and do little work! Good luck in your next venture!

Found a good piece of property south of Monroe and moving there in 2 years. Any suggestions on what type of work would be available in Charlotte area for a 58 yr. old man with a massive amount of management exp. in Food Service and Outdoor Recreation? thanks, R.
