My wife and I are 30-36 professionals with no children. We are considering relocating to the Charlotte, NC area, as we prefer urban culture, yet a safe and youthful environment, with good location to travel north and south on the east coast. Please share your experiences and advice :)

If you are from the South origionally, it is a great place. If you are relocating from the North, I would not recommened anywhere in North Carolina. I am a relocated Yankee from NY living in NC and have found that "Yankees" like me are not welcomed by the natives.
No offense to you if you are a Southerner. Its just been my experience.

Charlotte does have a lot going on in the area, just pick up a Charlotte Observer and there is this other little local free paper (can't remember the name) that's good, but as I remember it there were a lot of violent crimes in some areas. Not so much gang activity as it was just people getting in fights and shooting each other.
If you are looking at buying a house you can definitely get a lot for your money there.
I grew up in a city very near Charlotte but refuse to move back there because it's just too humid.
Good luck to you.

Sorry, I am a Southerner, born in Atlanta. My son worked for Georgia Pacific and Atlas Roofing in Charlotte for several years. I was fortunate enough to visit him there in downtown
locations and well as the south booming side of
town. He would probably still be there if it were
not for a job change he made. He is in Atlanta now, but would rather live in Charlotte. It is a neat city to live in, like Atlanta was many years ago.

I stay in North Carolina and that i stands proud because the first to assert that Charlotte is a stunning position to stay; notwithstanding, the variety is amazingly like that of Richmond, VA. the city is way friendlier and clearly there's a lot more beneficial to do than there is in Richmond. I in basic terms moved to North Carolina 3 years in the past, after residing in the Richmond section, and that i must agree that that's a touch weird and wonderful city. the realm changed into intense in crime and good jobs were troublesome to go back by using. I choose you the ideal on your decision.
