Why Move to Charlotte, North Carolina?

Charlotte, North Carolina is a vibrant city with a laid-back Southern charm. It’s one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country.

Located in south-central North Carolina, it’s home to over 800,000 residents. The area offers a wide variety of things to see and do. Whether you want to spend time outdoors or you’re a fan of the arts, Charlotte has a lot to offer.

Charlotte’s job market has become one of the best in the nation. In the past decade, the city’s Chamber of Commerce has recruited more than 6,800 new companies. And with an unemployment rate of 4.9%, Charlotte is a good choice for a new career.

As part of the Research Triangle, the Charlotte area has several universities that contribute to the area’s booming economy. Additionally, the city has some of the best public schools in the state.

Another reason to move to Charlotte is the weather. Though it can get hot in the summer, the winters are relatively mild. Charlotte’s location near the mountains means you can enjoy the fresh white snow if the temperatures drop.

You can also enjoy great dining, shopping and nightlife in Charlotte. There are hundreds of breweries and wineries in the area. Some of the best places to dine include Ru San’s, Blue Baze, Pisces Sushi, Cabo Fish Taco, and Mr. Tokyo.

Charlotte also has great public transportation. You can use the CATS bus line for more than 70 stops throughout the city. However, you will need to be prepared to deal with rush hour traffic. This can add an extra 30 minutes to your commute time.
