Events, Life & Sports
Whether you’re a fan of professional sports or enjoy shopping local, Charlotte has you covered. The city is home to teams in each of the major American sports leagues and hosts a variety of national events throughout the year. You’ll also find a thriving business sector with Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Duke Energy headquartered in the metro area.
Aside from a booming economy, the city’s residents can take advantage of a low cost of living, making it one of the most affordable cities in America. With a wide range of housing options, including new homes in South Charlotte, you’ll have no trouble finding the right neighborhood to suit your needs. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, there are also plenty of quieter communities outside of Charlotte, like Indian Land and Waxhaw, where you can still get that small town feel while having a short commute.
The Queen City has a diverse arts and culture scene, which makes it a great place to explore for the first time or as a returning visitor. You’ll find everything from art museums with exhibits curated by international artists to performance venues where you can catch a local theater or symphony production. Foodies are also well-served in Charlotte, with a wide variety of restaurant choices, from healthy dining spots like Luna’s Living Kitchen to upscale eateries where you can enjoy a glass of wine on date night.
