  About Charlotte NC: Charlotte is a city of 615,000 people, ranking it as the 26th largest city in the United States. It is the number two banking center in the US, and home to Wachovia and BankOfAmerica. Charlotte ranks as 3rd best metropolitan area for business location and we are number 6 on the list of cities with Fortune 500 headquarters (statistics courtesy of www.Charmeck.org). The Charlotte region comprises Mecklenburg County (which is basically Charlotte's County), Union County (America's 6th fastest growing county - there must be a reason), Cabarrus County, Iredell County, Gaston County, York County (SC), Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, and Mountain Island Lake.

If you tend toward the upscale in shopping, we've got some Charlotte real estate I'm sure will interest you: SouthPark mall. Here you will find Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus (just opened), Kate Spade, Louis Vuitton, Kenneth Cole, Sigrid Olsen, Ann Taylor, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, and Tiffany & Co., just to mention a few. From Charlotte homes in trendy Dilworth and upscale Meyers Park to lake front homes, from country club settings to friendly sub-divisions, to rural county real estate, the Charlotte real estate market and the surrounding region offers you an incredible choice of fine living. 

People unfamiliar with Charlotte don't know what to expect. We're kind of like a large city -- without all the buildings, people, and traffic -- but with many of the amenities you'd expect to find. Along with the fine shopping, for example, Charlotteans enjoy dining in the many restaurants in and around town. And with the recent opening of the Johnson and Wales University campus (which highlights a famous culinary program), Charlotte is expected to take the dining experience that much higher. 

And Charlotte is a major sports venue too: Just a quick ride from most Charlotte homes (or a short walk in the city) will get you to football (NFL Carolina Panthers) and basketball (NBA Charlotte Bobcats) games. South Charlotte's Quail Hollow County Club hosts the Wachovia Championship (PGA Tour) and Concord, NC (Cabarrus County) only 12 miles up the interstate, is home to Lowe's Motor Speedway (NASCAR Nextel and Busch series racing). Charlotte also hosts top minor league level teams in baseball and hockey. Our quality of life, I believe, is second to none.

Employment Relocation or Retirement to Charlotte?  You couldn't ask for a better location in the United States! Charlotte enjoys four distinct seasons, but hardly any snow. On the rare day that it snows, the white stuff is generally gone by the next day. And there's maybe 5 days all winter where the temperature doesn't get above freezing. If you're living in a cold climate now, you'll just love what Charlotteans call winter. . But winter isn't the only reason to take in interest in Charlotte real estate. 

Charlotte homes cover a very broad spectrum: We have city living, lake living, country club homes, homes in executive communities, suburban living, rural real estate (see next paragraph) and condos/patio/town houses (for those who want to forget about outside maintenance forever). Yes, the Charlotte real estate market is varied, but there's more... We have doctors, hospitals, shopping, sports, major interstates and an international airport so you'll have the services you need or desire close to your home. New and  resale single family homes and townhomes are quite affordable, especially as compared to other regions of the country. Home costs range from below 100,000 up into the millions. 

Want rural living but need to be close to big city amenities? Within a 30 mile radius of Charlotte, I found the following examples in our MLS (February 2007): 35 homes on a 3-12 acre site priced from $80,000 to $200,000 (about half are single/double wides) and over 65 tracts of land from 5-12 acres priced from $60,000 to $175,000, with the majority somewhere in the 100's.

Relaxation. We have 3 lakes around Charlotte, 1 river, and tons of golf. Within 2 hours of your new home you can visit the Asheville (NC) mountain and national forest areas or the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. Need the ocean? Charleston (SC) and Myrtle Beach (SC) are approximately 3.5 hours away. But just staying in Charlotte is pretty darn good too! The fact is, the Charlotte real estate can offer you affordable retirement living and the advantages of a centralized location to meet all your desires. have questions?  Please email me by clicking on the following link Jim Nuccio, Charlotte Realtor/Broker.  I'd love to hear from you.
