A fast-growing hub with a true city feel, Charlotte is chock-full of pros. The twinkly skyline, surplus of activities, strong job market and relatively low cost of living make the Queen City a popular destination for transplants from larger cities.
Those who love to shop will appreciate the area’s booming mall scene, which includes the impressive 1.8 million-square-foot SouthPark Mall (a favorite for Nordstrom fans) and many other high-end boutiques and department stores. For those who like to spread out and relax, Charlotte’s green spaces are plentiful. Countless parks host sports fields and courts, picnic areas, tree-lined trails, and other typical park amenities. In fact, a 2022 report by Stacker ranked the city 27th in America for its number of acres of green space per resident.
Packed stadiums, courts and fields roar with applause from devoted fans all year round. The Charlotte Hornets NBA basketball team and the Carolina Panthers NFL football team call the Queen City home, while racing fans can test their skills on the world-famous Charlotte Motor Speedway.
From quaint taprooms to trendy, farm-to-table restaurants, Charlotte’s food and drink scene is a big draw.
