Living in Charlotte North Carolina
Events, Life, Sports, Weather, News
Charlotte is a major financial center and draws professionals from throughout the country. It’s also a magnet for college graduates, and UNC-Charlotte, Duke University, Davidson College, Central Piedmont Community College and Johnson & Wales University all have campuses within city limits.
The area’s modern city center (Uptown) is the host of a wide array of festivals, concerts and other cultural happenings. The Levine Museum of the New South explores the region’s evolving identity, while a number of historic neighborhoods—including the eclectic NoDa and bar-heavy South End—have surged in popularity thanks to a young population and hipster vibe.
During the warmer months, outdoor lovers can find plenty to do. A popular pastime is playing a round of golf at one of the many local courses, including the prestigious Quail Hollow Club and Cedarwood Country Club. There are also several public parks to spread out with a picnic blanket and a frisbee or a game of volleyball.
The climate in Charlotte is humid but temperate, with mild winters and hot summers. The city has a lot of green space, which is good for health and well-being: Studies have shown that being surrounded by nature promotes mindfulness and decreases stress levels. On the downside, heavy rains are common, and floods occur regularly in the area. During the hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, residents must be prepared for potentially damaging storms and flooding.
