What Makes Charlotte NC a Great Place to Live?
Events, Life, Sports, Weather, News
Ask any Queen City resident what living in Charlotte is like and they’ll likely regale you with tales of four beautiful seasons, a reasonable cost of living, gorgeous East Coast nature, and a friendly small(er)-town feel with a stunning skyline. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what makes Charlotte a top place to live.
From food and wine weeks to performing arts showcases, the local scene keeps growing and evolving in Charlotte. There’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy, whether it’s taking in a show at the Charlotte Symphony or attending the famous Nutcracker performance by the Charlotte Ballet.
The city also has plenty of fun winter activities to help you ring in the holiday season with the whole family. Check out the Light the Knights festival at Truist Field, where the stadium is transformed into an entire Christmas town with lights and tons of fun activities for all ages. Or experience the magic of A Magical Cirque Christmas, where you’ll be dazzled and enchanted by world-class performers.
Those who love to stay active can hit the road for a scenic hike on one of the many trails in the area, such as Crowders Mountain State Park or South Mountains State Park. Or, if you prefer to hang with your brew, visit one of the more than 40 local breweries in Charlotte, where patios with skyline views and quaint taprooms are aplenty.
