Message: [QUOTE="HuskyCLT, post: 3279850, member: 5991"] I’ll throw my 2 cents in. Originally from CT, moved to Charlotte in 2013. It’s a great, fun, clean city and for the most part very safe. Lots to do here and great cities, mountains and beaches within a few hours drive. Airport really close to uptown, like a $12 uber. I’d certainly give it a shot. Charlotte does have a ton of transplants from the Northeast, Ohio, etc. so it doesn’t feel like you’re living in as much of an old south type environment as a new upcoming city. Lots of good southern food (although you’ll realize things like top notch pizza you take for granted in CT). If you’re looking for places to live, I’d consider that if you drive out of Charlotte, it can get very country and southern - quick, of course depending on where you choose. Some places are really nice and upcoming, but I find that Gastonia for instance has a very different culture than Charlotte. [USER=10]@HooperScooper[/USER] story about the shotguns doesn’t surprise me in Rock Hill SC but would not fly in Charlotte, even though they’re pretty close. If you’re renting for 6mo to a year I’d recommend living in Charlotte and getting a feel for the area first before buying. I’m 29 and love the areas surrounding uptown such as Plaza Midwood, south end and Noda. I’ve seen lots of good suggestions already - if you’re commuting to Gastonia and trying to keep it shorter, uptown has great access to I-85 or I’d look into Ballantyne/south Charlotte to start. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
