Thinking about moving here ? Watch me break down a few Charlotte neighborhoods ruclips.net/video/W4rNbfJnxME/видео.htmlsi=BXJM6YqwrnjZBNNg
I used to visit Charlotte when I loved in Atlanta. I used to say Atlanta has a big attitude problem lol and the people in Charlotte are so friendly. I've considered relocating to Charlotte and just haven't made that move yet. But now I think I'm going to look into it more. Thanks for this video.
Moved here from Buffalo 7 years ago and never looked back. Welcome to Charlotte.
Wow I live in buffalo planning to move out state Charlotte been on my mind for year now
Right same here trying to move there from buffalo
I'm in NY planning to move in the next 2 months! Hello from NY 😀
I’m moving to Charlotte from Rochester, how do you survive without garbage plates and salt potato’s!?
I am currently in buffalo I hate it here . Thinking about Charlotte or Greensboro
Born & raised in Charlotte, I seen the growth. Business are booming here, especially my field, which is Real Estate. Glad you're enjoying the city.
I plan on moving to Charlotte, what are some good areas to move in or what areas to stay away from?
@@shanekabrown6625 South Charlotte is a good area, especially the Ballantyne area. Uptown is nice. Plaza-Midwood area is good, very popular. The outskirts of Charlotte are a great option if you really don't want to live in the city.(Huntersville, Concord, Harrisburg, Matthews, Pineville, etc.)
@@mr.price1 Thank you so much!
@@shanekabrown6625 you're welcome, contact me at any time ,especially if you need a Realtor
@@mr.price1 I definitely will.
I moved to Charlotte, NC three years ago from Rochester, NY. I love it
I’m from Rochester too....Any part of Charlotte is beats Ave D and Clinton lol don’t miss it even a little bit
@@robrown7656 okkkayyy this place is a death trap
Planning on moving to Charlotte in the next year! From the DMV it’s stupid expensive out here and I need a break from this environment. Keep blogging your videos are super helpful
Me too. From CT
Yea I’m leaving the dmv at the end of the month. For what I pay for an apartment here, I can live much much better in Charlotte or another southern city
Me too!!!! I’m currently planning my move. I don’t have any friends or family here so these videos/comments are helpful and encouraging
@@ojalara3937 happy for you!! I’m aiming for 2022!! Hope it all goes well
@@semajsmith4192 same! But I think it’ll be worth it!! Good luck
I have already secured my place and will officially be moving in two weeks. I’m super excited! Thanks for all the information ❤️
Looking for friends. I live in Cali, I am trying to move
I'm in artist here in South Charlotte, it's amazing the amount of things that involve art, and the art community is really nice and kind.
I also moved from Jacksonville to Charlotte. I love it here! Jacksonville seems like it is 5 years behind the rest of the country. Charlotte is going to be a breath of fresh air for you. I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome to the Queen City!
Exactly!!👏🏾👏🏾
I worked in healthcare and transportation in Jax and if I compared Jax(which I hated) I'd say I walked into a time warp. Charlotte is veeeeeeery behind and extremely slow 😩
@@soniawilliams2345 well why the heck did they do that
Moving there in August for my job. I’m so excited!
You’re gonna love it 😊
Me too! I can’t wait. Best wishes 🙏🏽
Me as well. Congratulations 🎉
@@Ttk1023 Thank you! Same to you.
@@TakeaG What about the night life? That is the one thing I really liked about Houston.
Moved to Charlotte from NYC in July and my family and I really love it here!❤️
Im so glad to see that you are enjoying it. You are inspiring me to check this city out cause NYC is not it 😂
Welcome to Charlotte, I was raised here and never thought about moving away. Charlotte is forever growing. Weather can be a little bi-polar at times🤣
Charlotte is a beautiful city! I love it here. You made a great move!
Thank you so much 😊
I love Charlitt (Charlotte) I moved here from Brooklyn NY and chile I'm loving it.
Girl I’m moving out that way in August from Ca, You got me even more excited!!!! Love this video! ❤️
Congrats on your move move ! I know you’ll love it and thank you for tuning in 😊
If you love art, I would recommend the Noda Area, very full of art and great restaurants.
I love Charlotte.
Me too!
CLT is definitely a nice city, I visited there a month ago and I loved it. I’m leaving Baltimore as soon as my lease it up .
I'm in Bmore to, I'm still trying to decide between Raleigh or Charlotte lease up in August
Is Baltimore that really bad ?
I just moved here last month! I’m so ready to connect with the natives and start networking 😩
Moved to Charlotte in 1975 and love it. I will fly up to Hartford a couple times a year to visit my two brothers. Many people in Hartford are talking about moving to Charlotte.
Look at GOD ! This is definitely confirmation. I’ve been living in Jacksonville for the past 5 years after retiring out of the military. My mom moved to Charlotte a couple years ago & I have literally been racking my brain about whether I should move to Charlotte or not. I’m over Jacksonville and really want a change of scenery . Only thing I love about Jacksonville now is the familiarity and the beaches and rivers . I drove home from Charlotte today and have been praying for an answer . Thank you 😊🙏🏽
Welcome to Carolina! Hopefully you’re on South side or University area please stay off any Ford Nation’s Ford or Beatties Ford Rd
What’s in ford nations?
@@ariela_ Hello how was your day? But Nation’s Ford is in Southwest Chlt between S Blvd & S Tryon that’s where I used to live. I’m down by Myrtle beach now but anyways it goes from FtMill,SC to Billy Graham & it’s hood please don’t go over there. Then Beatties Ford is West Chlt it goes from the Bojangles by I77 all the way to Huntersville & that’s extra hood please stay away. Both have serious gang issues that doesn’t apply to you I’m sure. I tried Deltona Fla it was ok just too hot for me. I love Carolina weather not being biased cuz I’m from here but I’ve tried NYC, ATL, Chlt but came back to the beach area in SC. It’s nice down this way only few hrs away from all the non drivers & the crime. When there’s a show it will be during the week so off for that but it’s always been like that. No entertainer wants to be in Chlt on wkend when club or bars close at 2:00am they wanna turn up all night. Shows are normally on Tues or Thur nights when ppl have to work next am pretty lame for that. But the economy in Chlt is strong & thats all that matters at the end of the day. Hope you enjoy the city! Maybe I could take you to Epicentre for a bite to eat & drinks. Sidlove8632 ig
@@sidneydouglas8772 Thank you for this. My wife and I are looking for a new city. I am more focused on Raleigh/Durham and was not finding houses in the price I was looking for and I did not want to run up in the wrong area, when we went exploring.
Beatties ford is the Historic black area. JCSU, West Charlotte high school, best bands in the area!!!!
@@johnthebaptist9795 the hood but it’s all good before dark & that’s real spill
I have been living in Charlotte for 9 years now. It’s a great city that’s consistently growing. Charlotte also have some great restaurants
Yes I love it 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I stay in Jacksonville and I'm interested in moving to north Carolina. Charlotte keep popping up when I do my research so I'm most definitely interested.
I lived in the Charlotte area several years ago, the Char Meck school district does need improvement, I also didn't like having to pay a separate car tax. I also hear it's hard to find decent affordable housing there now, because the amount of transplants moving to Charlotte, has increased the price of an apartment. I did like Charlotte for the restaurants, stores, entertainment, the pretty views during the autumn season.
I work in Charlotte but commute there wanted to move there but the cost of rent is crazy
It’s rather boring! And there aren’t any good restaurants!
To each its own , sorry to hear that.
Leah & Louise, Cuzzo’s Cuisine, LuLu’s Maryland Seafood & Chicken Shack, Ruby Sunshine etc there’s so many
Try the Greensboro area which is about an hour and a half away for hairstylist or even Durham which is about 2 hours and some change. It beats going to Jacksonville every two weeks if you find someone you like.
I’ll definitely check that out.
Move here from Central New Jersey. Forty percent of people in Charlotte are from elsewhere. My retinologist is from India, my new primary care physician is Chinese, my dentist is from Canada and, (drum roll here) my veterinarian is from Hawaii. If I go into Harris Teeter and ask if anyone is from NJ half the store will turn around and say 'what Exit!'. You can make a helluva lot of money here.....
girl i’m also in Jacksonville and looking to move to Charlotte!!! this video was so helpful thank u🥺🥺🥰🥰
My older Sis lives out there and I can't wait to officially move there I really love Charlotte thank you for this beautiful video.
Moved here from Michigan 3 years ago . One thing I do not agree on is the stylist. If you have a Facebook join this group call Charlotte hair and nails they have all type of people who does different styles all type of nails and every you looking for
Thank you I’ll check them out😊
I’m from Michigan too. How do you like Charlotte? What is the major difference you noticed from Michigan. I’m relocating in Sept.
Everything seems bright and shiny when it's new trust me it will get old fast Charlotte is not what it's cracked up to be
That's how I feel about Raleigh, NC
Same about Greensboro
Man i glad u told me..bcuz i was thinking about moving there
@@antant9360 Me too🥺
@@latoyahayes3381 when are u moving?
Thank you so much for this. We're from South Florida. It's nice, diverse, with lots to do. But it's getting too expensive. We're looking for a change of scenery but of course hubby and I are hesitant to move children out their schools. Your video helped so much. Also I lived in Jacksonville FL and I was bored out of my mind.
I'm from Broward county, been her for about 2.5 years. Charlotte is a family friendly city, however their schools systems aren't very good. The best school system so far from what I've learned from others is union, Monroe, cabbarus counties and if you want to move further up Raleigh and Durham. Charlotte is diverse, but if you're a foreigner as I am, you won't find all the different types of foods, fruits, vegetables, restaurants, fresh seafood you'd find in south Florida. The pay is alot better here, and the cost of living...I don't see the difference, but some will say it's cheaper as far as apartments are concerned and I've looked around at homes and I'll say it's slightly different, but not the point where you'd say you're getting a whole lot more for your money, but this is just my opinion.
@@Happy-mp7vm Thank you for this. I'm also from Broward. And love the diversity. It's just the cost of living is getting too expensive. Home buying has been a journey. But we're still debating because Broward diversity and multi culture population is so beautiful. Something we can't let go.
@@jennyschatocastle6123That’s what I want in my next city. I’m a broward native to originally but I have to leave Florida. It’s to costly and they only pander to wealthy or those who come already established. I also got tired of the violent weather and constant rain more than sunlight. Floridians should look into California, Arizona, Texas, or the Carolinas when relocating for sure unless you want snow than head up northeast.
You're young, definitely move around and enjoy life. I live in Jacksonville and its all about who you know around here. Where you live also depends on your lifestyle as well, glad you love where you are.
This was really helpful during my research on Charlotte! And beautiful skin hun!
Thank you 🤎🤎🤎
I recently got married and live in Michigan. My husband and I are planning on moving to Charlotte next year, to start our new lives and expand our family👶🏽 I searched “living in Charlotte” here on YT and found this video. Now I can’t stop watching your videos lol NEW SUBSCRIBER ALERT! Happy to have found you🥰
❤️❤️❤️
Metro Detroit Michigan is a perfect place for a family. Some of the best Suburbs in the nation. It's not good for young black entrepreneurs imo. In 2030 yeah
Heyyy Im from Michigan and also planning on moving to Charlotte.
Same thing w/ me and my husband!
I'm originally from Charlotte, born and raised. I find it to be a bit boring however I always get a little homesick when traveling. I love uptown as well especially the colored lights they do on the buildings sometimes.
I completely agree, especially as someone who is from SC and frequently came to the city. When you initially move to Charlotte it pulls you in, but after about two years that allure of the city is gone. Also, you can get more bang for your buck in other metropolitan areas.
You really hyping up Charlotte 😂😂😂
Right!! Ugh! Those outer Town people
So what’s wrong with Charlotte?
@@ascension821 the ppl that talk like yall are the ones that been in charlotte for years and cant afford to live in a nice area so yall mad relax its nothing wrong with ppl enjoying they self and living in new places
@@LuxeBeauty_ nothing wrong with charlotte i stay in charlotte and its great they just mad they in a messed area and not the good parts
😂 it just depends on the person and what they're looking for. Just a little Atlanta that ppl complain about too 😂 just be happy wherever you are and travel the skies when you get bored
I visited in March and people are psychos on the freeways it's ridiculous. I thought Los Angeles was bad but oh my goodness North Carolina was way worse. I still can't wait to move to North Carolina lol
Yes it’s crazy !!! But I love it lol
Tell me about it i be speeding dwn every road and i stop at the green lights and go on red lolsss welcome to charlotte just being funny guys
@@pinkpineapples1 🤣🤣🤣
Thinking about moving to Charlotte from Chicago. I'm ready for something a little more laid back but not something that's too boring 😩 I can't move nowhere that's boringggg I would be running right back to Chicago lol
😂😂I love Charlotte but it all depends on what you enjoy doing
Been here my whole 24 years of life and I’m ready to go!!!! 🙄🤣 but loved the video and you’re gorgeous!!🥰
I totally understand that’s why I left Jax and thank you♥️
There are plenty of gorgeous ladies in Atlanta but there is alot more drama there!
I just moved here from Cleveland and the driving here is terrible, from the traffic to the drivers!
Been here over five years and your right.... They cannot drive!
I live in Jacksonville I moved here from New Jersey you are so right it is so boring do all it has to offer you is eating out of course you gain weight cuz when you go out somewhere it seem like you've been there yesterday what beach is just what it is just another Beach the three things you can do in Jacksonville go out to eat go out to eat go out to eat and the food is not that good oh you can go to the beach and then go out to eat most people here are not really friendly saying hello takes all that breath away I wish you luck in Charlotte I am planning on moving out of Florida so many of my friends that came to Florida has moved
Love your video I’ve grown up in Charlotte my whole life and it’s true everybody I’ve every met has moved from all over the states !
Wow that’s interesting someone that’s actually from here lol
@@TakeaG 😂😅😂
@@TakeaG I live about 25 miles out from Charlotte and it's having the same problems as many major Us cities is having. Its overpriced, overcrowded and expensive! Wait to the economy crashes it will be bad everywhere but alot more so in the larger cities! if you can work anywhere why would you move to a big city? Becuase of attractions well be prepared to pay alot more for the city living.
Depending on your professional career Charlotte can be disrespectful to you- & the school system isn't top of the state- is one of the biggest but not best
I 100% agree!
Maybe its heading there.
Don’t move to Charlotte unless your used to humidity and your job is inside. I came from California and my job is outside. Even Phoenix heat feels good compared to Charlotte humid heat. I lasted 3 days and came to California. That humidity gave me a suffocating sensation. I thought Cali weather was overrated. It really does have the best weather. Sucks because I really wanted a house but I’d rather live in an apartment with great weather
Dam, three days? 😂😂
I’m not dealing with that humidity 6 months out the year for a house. It’s brutal and I work outside. my co workers said it gets a little longer each year. They deal with it but never get used to it. World definitely isn’t getting colder
I just got a new Charlotte Apartment (Steele Creek Area)♥️ I know it’ll be a lot different than my apartment here in Atlanta… hoping that I’ll like the transition. Loved the video!
I’m leaving Atlanta too
How is is so far?
@@madib.2782 it’s a lot slower.. but I like it so far. Really quiet. I live near the Outlets/Airport
Since you’re currently experiencing your first winter there now, how is it?
When I seen this I laughed cause everything you said is so true especially about everyone moving here from some place else I thought where are all the original charlotte people cause I have yet to meet one lol another cons is blow outs are no less than 50 dollars 😳 in NY Maribels in flatbush was 15 dollars for a wash and set with a blow out that's the only thing i miss about NY but the amount of accidents you see when you first move here will shock you I don't see as many now i've lived here for 5 years its the best decision i could have made and I wish I had done it sooner I ❤ Charlotte
You won’t meet any natives! They all moved on to bigger maybe not better but definitely moved on. I moved up the street to Chlt from SC in 2000 & it was that way then same now
I've lived here for 11 years and yes the traffic is horrible and the cost of living is based on if your in Mecklenburg or outside the line of Mecklenburg.
Girrrlll I agree with all of these. I’ve been here for almost 6 years now. Only thing I’ve struggled with is finding a good group of girlfriends being as I moved here as a single adult. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
Have you tried attending a church or having solo dates? That’s a great place to start 😊
What's your age range? It is hard to find good friendships. I moved here alone. I would love some girl time
Can you find a good bible based church to fellowship with for lunch or dinner
Download and join the meet-up group app. You’ll be able to find things to do with people that have similar interest.
I just moved here this week! I'm coming from three hours away so I a little bit familiar with the area. Now the next step is finding new friends in the city
I grew up in Atlanta. I have visited Charlotte about four times in the last three years and it is a great city. I hope to relocate there in the next year or so. You can live in Charlotte area and always go visit Atlanta or the Raleigh-Durham area or even Greensboro. I am tired of living in Atlanta. It will always be a home to me in some form or fashion but Charlotte will be my next home for sure. The LYNX train is the light rail there and it is pretty nice and clean but not big like Atlanta or Miami.
Living in Jacksonville is not so bad for me. Yes it can be boring, but I have a good life here with major shopping at the town center if needed (which it's not needed for me), beaches, quick trips to orlando/st aug, airport, great school for my child, etc. Also, my home is nice and affordable, and no state tax. I guess it's all about perspective. Now there are some major cons but every place has them. Will probably move eventually, long-term, but ijs it can be a great place for some.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to NC! Make sure to visit the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC
You are so right! I just moved to Charlotte in December 2020 and All of your Pro’s were spot on except the one about the ppl. I personally have encountered racism from rude nasty ppl that don’t look like me quite often. The Con about the driving is sooooooo TRUE!!!!! These ppl can not drive and its terrible. The traffic reminds me of where I’m from which is Maryland.
Wow that’s crazy I haven’t experienced any rude people/ racism I’m so sorry to hear that. Besides that I hope you’re enjoying the place😊
@@TakeaG Yes I like it overall.
I’m from Charlotte born and raise and I see them racist mf all the time this black lady go tell me to pick my battles because it’s too many. And too many words not to cuss they ass out
Yes on traffic. I went for the first time this weekend to tour apartments. I'm from dmv and thought traffic was bad here. In Charlotte they drive 80 plus, don't use signals and just are are pretty horrible. Are you enjoying the area so far? Dc is hard to beat except on cost.
That's my number one problem. Racism is definitely a problem here
Have two daughters there now and I’m moving at the end of the month
That’s exiting! I hope you enjoy it 😊
I moved here 15 years ago from nyc back and forth and before it was just folks from Charlotte here, now people are coming here from everywhere I’m not sure why but it’s getting pretty bad if you wanna buy a house here 🤬 lol, the real state market is terrible, whatever happened to everyone moving to Atlanta? 😂😂, but seriously Charlotte is cool just stay to your own a lot of scheme and scammers here, I suggest you joint the BBOC group of Charlotte on fb.
Bc atl is full😂
I just toured apartments this weekend moving from DC. What do you mean scammers. Do tell? Bc everyone seems so nice and it has me giving the sideeye.
Been here for 2 yrs from buffalo ny, love the weather but the Westside is super ghetto and people are rude as hell and crazy
Lol I don’t think I’ve been over there but I’m sorry to hear that
Girll you drive 5+ hours on way for a hair cut every two weeks! hahaha omg love it
Hey girl I was just watching your video . I got approved for a place in Charlotte and thinking about moving there from dc . I’m just up and leaving so I been scared but something yu just said made me excited to come . You mentioned a con no good hair stylist . People were telling me they need me out there and I was like you sure I’ma make money lol and they said yes gurl they don’t have that many bomb stylist I’m excited to come now !!
Oh yes if you are really good at doing hair you’ll be super set 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It's true! We need new stylists
Maybe it’s just me, but after awhile I got tired of Charlotte. I’ve been in Charlotte for 4 years and now moving from Charlotte.
Yikes I’m sorry to hear that
Been here 2.5 years and like yourself I'm over it too, but I'm going to stick it out until my child graduates in 2 years
The traffic is not enjoyable in Charlotte, very bad drivers, too expensive for blue collar wages, too much traffic to fight to get to REAL wilderness areas.
I’m born and raised here and only issue I have with this place these days is the over crowding is getting crazy and the crime and drugs are getting worse…unfortunately the housing is getting so expensive that the people that are from here are being pushed out of the area. Most ppl can’t drive because so many people from different states are trying to still drive how they would in their old state… I hate it when people get in the passing lanes and go slow… don’t use their turn signals properly or drive around with their bright lights on blinding other drivers…pay to get those headlights fixed or get glasses if ya can’t see to drive (or better yet go home and park the car before u get someone hurt or killed) goddess forbid if someone gets blinded by bright lights and hits a pedestrian or car head on because they couldn’t see them… it’s dangerous the way people drive around here so I totally agree with u on that. The DMV should make people learn our road rules when they move here. Even the headlights on when wipers are running law no matter how stupid some think it is it was made for a reason.
Moving to Charlotte in March! Thank you for this video
NODA and Southend areas are great for nightlife and bar hopping. Clubs have died down Once the Epicenter Uptown shutdown and Covid hit. A lot of the nightlife places shut down! Hookah lounges and bars are more popular here! Welcome to Charlotte #704
Exactly what part are you living in cause I would love to be the neighbor that you love to borrow sugar, soap, air or anything else you may need. Trust me, ill always have it!!!
A lot of blk ppl move to Charlotte or Durham😂 unfortunately crime rate is much higher now. Traffic is terrible do to transplants thinking they still live in ny, nj, and fl. Charlotte is like mini ATL to me. I would not move there for that reason. Charlotte is gd place it's growing so expect things like real estate, taxes to increase also
Charlotte is Charlotte Atlanta is terrible!
I love Durham because I use to live there. However, the crime is getting out of hand. I changed my mind about moving back.
@@jmath1978 I agree. I live in Charlotte now and spent a lot of time in Atlanta and they are totally different cities. Atlanta is the east coast version of Hollywood filled with fakes, phonies, and wannabe ballers. You have to navigate a sea of fakeness to find what's real there. Whereas the people in Charlotte are far more authentic, genuine, and down-to-earth. You are who you are and people for the most part aren't trying to be more than that here. Charlotte's landscape is also extraordinarily beautiful. If you weren't into nature before, you will be after living here.
You’re hilarious lol I love this video. Super informative too
I like when born and raised Floridians moving from that state of FL. People will learn Florida isn’t home to seek these big opportunities or you’re going to truly be successful there. It’s where you go for vacation or when you already make it; you must have money regardless how delusional people feel. People are out there roommating like hell just to fake a lie about “ the sun is so beautiful” or they’re living in their cars or in the streets or running rooms off Craigslist. That’s all I’m going to say. I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL 🙄.
The weather is always under a hurricane watch, tornado watch, flash floodings after simple rains, and thundering like hell. That sunshine only shows 10-15% of the time which most aren’t honest about. The pay rate also is low pay rate as well with only nursing jobs mostly or you’re going to be stuck in service work. Regardless of what you study in college it will be limited to no opportunities except possibly nursing or other jobs that may exist but it’s not high in good employment. I’m happy you were bold and confident to take the leap of faith to leave it all behind to live a better life for you. That’s what I’m doing currently.
Charlotte NC is what you make out of it
You didn’t tell one lie about Jacksonville. I moved from a small city and I have never experienced a city that didn’t have an active downtown nightlife…I’m sooo ready to leave. Currently looking between Houston or Charolette.
The school system is better in the outskirts of CMS... could be better in the inner city #NorthMeckGraduate but overall great video 💪🏾✨
Thank you 😊
I just moved to Charlotte as well from brunswick Georgia and yeah you’re right can’t find fresh seafood anywhere I love Charlotte though
lol yeah the seafood sucks but this is an amazing place 🙌🏾
Omg I thought I was going crazy because I could find any too. The Asian markets have them but it smells so bad in there, I just couldn’t!
@@eyez2323 😂😂I haven’t seen an Asian market either I’d love a slice of matcha cake lol
Google Super G Mart on Independence
@@andrebrown1044 thanks that place looks way better then Asian Market on the plaza
I am finally in NC- around Huntersville- anyone that recently moved out here in the past year , if you all want to do food and greet- let me know . If I get more responses then I can provide more information. Thank you all and be safe out there.
How do you like Huntersville? I’m considering moving there.
@@enyceofnyc very slow paced but beautiful and it’s about 25mins to Charlotte. You can also check out Matthews.
Thanks Michael. I’m hoping to move with my wife and 5 year old near Charlotte. I’m visiting in a few weeks with plans to stay in uptown Charlotte. I don’t ultimately plan to move uptown, but I want to visit a few neighborhoods that are ~20m away from it.
Any recommendations on places to see while in Huntersville? Other neighborhoods?
@@enyceofnyc I have not been here that long to recommend places or neighborhoods- it’s been merely 4 months, but Huntersville is not that big and you can tour the area, as well as Matthews. It’s definitely family oriented for sure. I will suggest, you just take time to tour the areas.
I’ll be visiting for the first time next month. Can’t wait 😊
That’s exiting! I hope you enjoy.
Quick question - How are you getting to Jacksonville every 2 weeks? Is there a megabus or train route? If so, that would be AMAZING bc I have family in Florida and hopping flights isn't always convenient.
Fly or drive.
@@TakeaG Ohhh gotcha. I'm new to Charlotte so I was over here hoping there was an express bus or something, lol.
Stayed there for 2 yrs. left during the pandemic 🙄. Thinking about coming back! & yes the driving is horrible 😂
You are so beautiful and thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you so much and you’re welcome ♥️
I love this vid! Planning my next move and this helps💕✨
Current law enforcement in the CLT area and can defiantly attest to the bad traffic/bad driver habits of Charlotteans. Wouldn't advise anyone that is a nervous or skittish driver to make the move to Charlotte until the public transportation is improved on, which shouldn't be too far off into the future thankfully. Great video, stay safe!
I definitely agree it can be really dangerous
Oh wow I’m from Jacksonville. And I’m looking at videos of trying to find pros and cons.
I felt that same way about Charlotte when I moved to Houston... 😂 love my hometown but definitely glad I moved. 🙌🏽 enjoy my city 🤗
You moved from Charlotte to Houston? What didn't you like or you just wanted a change?
Just came back from Charlotte yesterday and my friend and I LOVED it!!!! Now, we wanna move there.
Where are y’all from?
@@chelsearush7812 NYC
Most definitely gotta come visit. I believe it was the cereal bar or something you had went to most definitely look like it was a cool spot to visit. Thanks for the video
You should and thank you so much for tuning in! 😁
Hello, I have heard that their public school system is horrible. I know of one young lady that moved to the outskirts of Charlotte because of the school system.
Oh no I’m sorry to hear that
It really is. I have a daughter in the school system and it's the worst. Unlike Florida if I needed to speak with the school board I would have access to a direct phone number. Unlike here you have to jump through hoops or go thru the school administration first and it would be up to them if you speak with anyone from the school board. At this point I'm wondering if there is one
I live in Jacksonville and I’m thinking about moving to Charlotte. Thanks for the video
So happy you made this video. I'm looking to move there in 3 months! We should connect!
You think bomb hair stylist are in Raleigh as opposed to Charlotte? That's strange because anyone living in Raleigh knows it's the opposite lol. What are you looking for?
Lol I love a good quick weave bob and ponytails.
@@TakeaG ok, that makes a difference! i feel the CLT stylist are more infamous for color, silk presses, & now wigs/sew ins
@@luldiyeezy967 and braids! It’s some really good braiders here too
@@TakeaG check out @shayhairmuseum on ig. I recently moved back to Charlotte and she was my stylist before I left.
I’m a licensed Esthetician and looking to move to Charlotte 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Welcome to Charlotte. I live in Lake Norman. I was relocated here.
I have been researching Charlotte NC ,I live in Minnesota and my goal is to leave here by Dec.2021 and start fresh..
You should definitely do it !
Minnesota, iowa, Wisconsin was rated being the worse for bigotry. The worse place for blacks. Please move!
you lost me at no hairstylists and no fish markets!! hahaha
I drove from FL to MD and back. I actually fell in love with Charlotte AND Jacksonville lol
I know the best celebrity hair stylist out her and Sooper cheap hmu
I moved to Charlotte almost 2.5 yrs ago, welcome!
Debating a move from Jacksonville to Charlotte
The new N.C bae 🖤
Got Nascar Hall Of Fame and Discovery Place
I live in ATL and I love Charlotte! I want to move there.
I’m moving from Charlotte to Jacksonville, FL. Coincidently funny how I came across your video. I got tired of Charlotte and felt that there’s no opportunity for growth for me. Which lead to my decision to move to FL. You’re so right about the hairstylist in Charlotte. I would drive to Greensboro/Raleigh area to my stylist. Now I gotta find a stylist here in Jacksonville. Enjoy your new beginning in the metro city!
Congrats on your move I hope you enjoy it ♥️
I moved from Charlotte (after being there for 7 years) to Jacksonville and it was the WORST decision of my life!!! I was not even in Jacksonville for a year before moving to Altamonte Springs, FL (next to Orlando). Everything that you said about Jacksonville in this video is TRUE. After 6 years in Altamonte (which I LOVED), I am back in my home city of Raleigh, NC, married, & thriving!!!! Best wishes to you AllThings Therapeutic!!! I hope that your move to Jacksonville is in no way like mines was!! TakeaG enjoy the Queen City!!!
You won't have any issues finding a stylist. I don't know what line of work you're in, but/ and I hate to say it. You're probably going to end up pissed at yourself as far as employment is concern. Jobs in Florida do not and I repeat do not pay as much as they do here, but again, maybe you'll have a different outcome. However, the cost of living is a little lower there as far as apartments are concerned, but good luck.
@@williamlittle1592 I move from fort Lauderdale to Jax. I completely and totally hated it, I think I suffered there for about 2years and made some changes then found my way out. However, I'm in Charlotte and it's been 2.5years. I was all positive at first, then things changed but it is a far better experience than Jax, that's for sure.
omg heyy girl , I’m in Houston and currently starting cosmetology school but I wanna leave after I graduate soo bad ! I’ve been researching North Carolina so much . And joining the hair industry I feel like I’ll have more opportunities since houston is so saturated . I’m only 18 so I think this will be a new establishment for myself . Any areas you recommend?
