There’s also a vibrant nightlife scene with a large selection of bars, clubs, pubs and live music venues and a growing foodie culture, featuring a variety of restaurants and breweries.

One of the best parts about Charlotte’s location is that it’s within driving distance of the beach and mountains. With 35 miles of greenways, residents are able to take advantage of the outdoors with a variety of outdoor activities like hiking, biking and jogging or they can go whitewater rafting on the Catawba River.

A strong job market and affordable housing prices make Charlotte a popular destination for young professionals as well as families.
