Ok based off this she hasn't lived in Charlotte NC long enough so I will help you out.
Big transplant city hardly will ever meet locals, locals are leaving
1. It is a family city in my opinion
2.the school you are referring to I'm guessing is the Johnson & Wales based off location in uptown however there is UNCC and Johnson C Smith University in NC-- but rent is increasing so this would be based off your budget, if you budget is tight I would recommend roommates if you don't want roommates and have a decent car and don't mind a 30 minute commute then I would advise you to live on the outskirts. But your budget will dictate a lot keep that in mind.
3.yes she is right my honest opinion the Asian food is a bit nasty here 😬 sorry barely any good Jamaican food explore your options
4 nightlife this will Depend on you, but most Transplants hang out uptown and epic center, music factory when you meet ppl you will figure that out
5.the African American community is Westside and I would recommend Northlake area/Northside
6 the job market might depend on your Field im 50/50 with that I'm going to say based of your salary requirements pay can be a bit low and if you don't mind commuting to work traffic can be a bit of a mess I would say you could find something (Charlotte/Fort Mill SC)
But Charlotte is supposed to be known for banking jobs, there lots of call centers pay is okay could be better some downright low ....once again depends on your Field
Avg rent is about $1,xxx rent has jumped dramatically
I advise just exploring the city I think you could eventually find things your into
Traffic is a pain! The Summers are hot and humid but tolerable
Raleigh vs Charlotte --- I'm on the fence with this based off my experience ppl usually like one or the other. I couldn't tell you which one is better tbh.
The city is growing welcome to Charlotte, NC !!!
The winters are mild great if you like to do things outdoors
I have a car and willing to live outside the city, what are some great areas ?
thank you! this girl didnt answer shit why even make this video
Well, if you saw her first video then you would have known she has not been in Charlotte that long. Do your research.
Lisa bear Thank you !!! I
I live in Florida, single with no kids and just ready for a new scenery and I've been hearing great things about Charlotte and this helped a lot. Thank you!
Love the beaches in Florida...
Thank you for watching Bianca! glad you found it helpful.
Same here, I'm thinking about noving. Let's stay in contact what is your ig?
Bianca Hills same with me single no kids and I’m ready to move out of philly and I always wanted to go down south and Charlotte has been my number pick
I would recommend you to visit first then make the move you have nothing to lose so go for it... But meeting friends my take a while so keep that in mind coming alone
Well welcome to everyone who is moving in Charlotte it is amazing,I was born here and ever since we been living it. So have an amazing time here!!
Been living here for 5 years and love it!
That's awesome! glad you love it
I love Charlotte and been here all my life except during college years. Great video very informative.
Awesome! Thank you! It's a beautiful place to be. Wow not too often that I run into people who have been here all their lives.
Good information on Charlotte very helpful I'm moving to Charlotte in fall when Covid slow down
I’m planning to move to Charlotte this summer so thank you for this vid!
Moving to Charlotte in October!!!! Thanks 🙏🏻 For the awesome tips
Eliazar Valentine that’s so exciting you’re welcome
New supporter,your channel is so clean
This video was right on time! I live in Boston and will be moving to Charlotte in June. This video helped me a lot.
Jasmine Pres same I’m from Boston but I’ll be moving when I graduate in a year
I'm undecided between ATL and Charlotte 😭
Ya Girl Lady_Treasure That’s awesome live your best life !
PlatinumHeart _ You cant go wrong either way. YOLO
Jasmine Pres I keep going back and forth 😭😭 but I think I’mma try ga
I immigrated temporarily from Ireland to Charlotte in 2012 for a J1 Visa! Worked in RiRa and miss Charlotte so much! Small Irish community there but it was an awesome one! Try Dandelion Market, RiRa, The Workmans Friend, Tyber Creek, Innismore and Murphys Kitchen and Tap! This video was awesome, I hope you enjoy everything Charlotte has to offer!
Thanks so much for the recommendations I will have to give them a try.
@@CandiceMarieinspires you are very welcome! Also see if you can find the names of old staff on RiRas walls! 😁
I visited friends that live in Charlotte several years ago. OMG they took us to Dandelion Market, and the food was delicious. I need to visit again some time soon.
Welcome to Charlotte I moved here 5 years ago!! Great cheap brunch places here..Glad you are doing well! Great video!
statistically Charlotte is on worst cities for singles..
You are in a great area!
Really?
@@shalontehernandez6752 yes
@@shalontehernandez6752 yeah..but you are awesome!
HEYYY GIRL... HAD NO IDEA YOU MOVED IM THINKING OF MOVING TOO... GREAT VIDEO.
Thanks girl, yes I moved last December this week makes it one year, I'm sure I haven't gotten the full experience since covid, but I am still making the most of it.
This was really helpful, plan on moving to Charlotte hopefully next year or the year after. I have to finish school in my home state, but I been doing a lot of research cause I’m moving with my broke best friend (my daughter, lol) and I know I gotta put a lot of things in perspective when it comes to that.
That's really exciting yes you have time to start thinking of all these things now and get them in order. Break down the tasks and tackle them a little bit at a time you got this!
Lmao the daughter 😂 broke best friend ok warning school are system might be a decline based off what state your coming from. But keep in mind where you locate all Schools in Charlotte are not the same location in the city will matter for you
Lisa Bear Do you think it’s a decline from Ohio? Cause where I live I went to one of the lowest rated schools in Ohio, lol.
Not sure but I would recommend NC over Ohio
Hey Candice! I came across your NC videos today and loved the info! I’m planning to move from MA to either North or South Carolina. The actual moving process seems so overwhelming. Did you hire a moving truck or have movers do everything for you? How do you handle a big move like that what were moving costs? Also curious how many time did you visit there before you decided to move? ☺️
So happy I found this video! I'm also from Boston and planning to move to Charlotte in the next 6 months. Looks like a lot of Northerners are moving down there but I hear we pick up some Southern Hospitality along the way lol.
Hello my fellow Bostonian that's awesome yes lots of people are moving down here. I love the weather, excited to explore more as things open back up
This is awesome because I've been looking into moving from Massachusetts to North Carolina. i really want to make the move.
Biggest advice just visit first check it out... And then I think you will know
Moved from WA state to Charlotte; they're super similar, actually. Love them both.
Nice, I've never been to WA state before but I'm sure I would love it too since I'm loving Charlotte
Just moved from the Atl to clt. So far so good
do charlotte reminds you of lil bit like atlanta
Charlotte is a little more laid back than Atlanta. Atlanta have more extroverts but that is changing as more people relocate to Charlotte
Much better than the ATL.. lol..
Loved!
thank you!
Right on time!! 😊
Given been planning to move there soon and this video couldn't have popped up at a better time
You have given me confidence that women like you do exist.
I don’t use Facebook, but do you have an IG? I’d follow you there! Loved the video! Myself and fiancé are moving back to USA from Europe and have been eyeing Charlotte!! Super helpful video! You seem super sweet!
I’d say nightlife is fine here in the EpiCentre or Music Factory. Traffic is pretty bad. I suggest anyone not here yet to find a job and secure it BEFORE moving (many companies use recruiting firms). It’s a tough city for singles as well because it seems like everyone’s booed up lol. From what I hear, residents rely on private schoolsin Charlotte and surrounding areas because the school systems are pretty poor.
I agree this is true I recommend you come with a job or whomever you come with has a job. Job market is so-so it might be better for some than others so I want to stay neutral on this
I heard they closed the EpicCentre down ?
Lisa Bear damn , I’m literally moving in a month without a job 😩
I’m single, no kids, in the workforce. Do uou recommend Charlotte over the Raleigh area? I’m from Texas, grew up in the big city. But craving the country/outdoor world with a small town vibe but still lots to do and fun City things like bars restaurants etc. also, good jobs 🥶
Moved from ATL to CLT in March 2020. Haven't had a chance to find my niche area / explore. Thanks for sharing! Please let us know if you find any gems :)
I moved down here right before the virus hit mess everything up 🤦🏾♂️
trust me you made a good move charlotte is a good city
Jerry Davis I hope so. I’ve been second guessing going back to ATL. But I’m sure it’s just the pandemic
@@yuppitsashley girl no compared to ATL you’ll be moving back lol Charlotte sucks COVID has nothing to do with it. This is a family city. If you’re married with kids it’s fine, but single people shouldn’t move here. Just my opinion.
This is my 10th year here from Boston. I love it still
What is the job market like? I'm in higher ed looking to move from the north.
Janine Ewing it’s pretty solid. UNC Charlotte is always hiring
@@lbeats442 thank u wonder if I have to be a resident already? Hmm thanks for the info!
I’m going to be moving there too
@@siesiechampion nice..what will you do for work?
I'm not into the clubs either, I actually find Atlanta more boring than Charlotte. Everything in Atlanta is so spread out and you'll end up driving to most of the hot spots. Charlotte is of course smaller and most of the venues like Football, Basketball, baseball, museums, restaurants are located downtown and much easier to get to. That creates a more vibrant atmosphere than what I found in Atlanta. Check out Uptown, Southend, Plaza Midwood, and NODA. All near uptown and offer a lot of nightlife, and yes those are great areas for singles. They're both great cities I just like the Charlotte vibe better and the ease of getting around compared to ATL.
I live in Florida and my family wants to move To Charlotte it seems nice there.
I'm from Charlotte and if you try to compare it to to Atlanta as far as the nightlife, I'll just say this the club's close at two there are few places that stay open past it but we don't have crazy traffic unless there was a bad accident and you can get anywhere using streets you don't have to get on the highway unless you want to plus we have cheap tolls now on I 77
Thanks for commenting, I do like that you can get anywhere using the streets and don't have to get on the highway. SO many scenic routes here in Charlotte.
I moved from philly to Charlotte on Amtrak with less then a 1000.00 at 25 and I’m still here and it’s all good
I’m scared sis. I’m moving in a month and I don’t have a job yet. I did medical assistant for three years and I’m currently a medical receptionist. Hopefully I secure something before I move. Pray for me
What is Amtrak?
Go for it sis change is scary but nothing to be scared of. If you’re being pushed to make a move make it💫🙌🏾💜...... Amtrak is the train
B Martinovid yes I’m in the healthcare field. . I had a virtual interview once but idk what happened. I felt like the interview went great.i put in tons of applications. I gotten denied at some. I have a month to move. I can’t wait to secure a job in my field
Very brave I see
Charlotte is a great city plenty to do.
Thanks Ray appreciate it yes can't wait to get back out again and enjoy
I just moved here myself from jersey in February.. I live in south Charlotte and I love my area.. Very peaceful and diverse.. The virus is killing the vibe to explore tho..
What do you love about it ? I’m ready to move !!! I love Chicago but I’m ready to move
Well it depends on where you are in life.. I wanted to get a good peace of mind. Which the area I lives in gives.. I work at the airport so it super close. Plus I have everything in walking distance..
danextbestthing15 To be honest I’m 35, no kids, single, Registered Nurse, looking for a new start and to meet like minded individuals. God willing I wouldn’t mind quality friendships and a relationship. I was hoping Charlotte will embrace my desires.
you said rental properties. what are best places for rental properties in charlotte
Thanks for sharing. May I know where are the low crime rate area to live in Charlotte ? Thanks.
Tricky question lol but there are some areas where crime is "lower" or probably less reported where are your thinking to move Steel Creek, Ballantyne, North South East West side?
Lived here my whole life🥱
Great video! I'm planning to move from DC to Charlotte. I can't wait to get out of here.
I would say based off the cost of living in DC it's going to save you some money in NC. And traffic is probably better here than there
What do you think about all this talk surrounding FinCon?
What is a good area to move in, I been searching in the uptown and South Park and around the airport area.
I don't think there bad options . Southpark is nice and uptown is nice. If you want more of that city living I would recommend uptown . Southpark is a nice area not as easy to get to the highway as uptown so based off your travel needs southpark could be hectic or congested. I would need to know what living situation your looking for to recommend one over the other... What do you like to do for activities, you looking for walkability, do you have to commute that's important
Is independence blvd near Sardis road considered a bad area ?
How did you get an apartment without a 9-5? What documentation did they ask for?
Not having a 9-5 was difficult to prove that I had actually income they did not accept my quickbooks information or bank account screenshots, but since I was moving in with my boyfriend his salary was enough so they didn't end up needing my information.
I'm looking to Move to Charlotte in a year or so would love the input
Thank you!
Is Charlotte vegan/ vegetarian friendly and big on non-religious pro spirituality vibes?
Not really but I see more and more vegan restaurants
curious why you need a w2 to buy property?
Well, you don't need a W2 but without one it is more steps and work. It just seems like it makes the process easier and I can save money faster by having a salary + my business income. thanks for commenting
Candice Latham ohhh okay i definitely agree !!
Your lip gloss or lipstick name please
How do you find out about business/networking events?
I check QCity Metro's website and eventbrite this is also a cool meetup group I've also attended in the past www.meetup.com/Charlotte-Spark-Sessions-Authentic-Professional-Networking/
i would like to make videos what software do you use
Hi I use Premiere Pro
I live in Houston but hear mixed reviews about charolette but always wanted to go .I know racism is everywhere but idk about NC
Racism is everywhere. It's here in Raleigh, NC.
@@sherryw9206 I know that ..its here in Houston too ..the whites and hispanics
Ive been trying to move to Charlotte, but job hunting has not been successful since corona hit 😩. If anyone knows of any vacant positions for social workers, please lmk. Finding a job there first is the only thing stopping my move.
Cup of CHI have you checked the schools? CMS public schools.
KendrasKoffeeKorner- I did an app for mecklenberg schools (I think that’s the name) and union trail. I will check on the status today.
I don't want to discourage ppl from coming here based off the job market i feel for some ppl it will work in there favor and find a job easier than others. However don't move here until you secure a job. If this helps try Fort Mill, SC/Rock Hill, SC it's withing commuting distance from Charlotte, Concord NC might have something too if you are looking for jobs! Good luck 😉
Lisa Bear - thank you !
Me too!!
So I have two places in mind Phoenix Arizona or Charlotte due to the fact what’s going on in the world I’ll rather be surrounded with my kind( blacks). I love Phoenix it’s so beautiful there lots of wonderful things to do. My boyfriend is currently living there and I was supposed to move. Basing everything off of what he feel and actually see , culture wise In Phoenix is absolutely no place to raise a family being black. I been searching and doing a lot of watching videos on both Charlotte and Phoenix and I’m still Indecisive on what should I do. Should I go visit Phoenix one more tome for myself? Or make the move to Charlotte( by the way I never been to Charlotte) I just know it’s all love there because I have family there. Help help help
I’ve been contemplating Arizona and Charlotte too for a while now. If you can, visit both places when it feels safer to you and see which one you like best? That’s what I’m going to do. You’ll know after visiting, which one you’ll want to call home.
I can't even speak on Arizona. What coast of the map are from because Phoenix is on the West Coast and Charlotte NC is the South East Coast so there's going to be a different culture in general. What would you like to know about CLT.... Specifically Maybe I can help
“In Phoenix is absolutely no place to raise a family being black” Girl, Phoenix is racist NOT everybody but a huge population there. Please don’t second guess yourself
I hate Arizona 🤷🏾♀️
@@lisabear4885 Technically Arizona isn’t the west coast it’s the southwest region. My family lives there.
How's race relations in Charlotte?
Is Mel Chante your sister?? New to Charlotte and I follow her on IG, you look like her twin, and I think she's from Boston.
Hey Khalid that’s dope! yes she is my sister 👯♀️ Welcome to Charlotte
@@CandiceMarieinspires Ahh, NICE! I knew you looked so familiar! LOL. Thank you for the welcome and have a great week ahead, beautiful. Peace.
I'm the King of Charlotte, welcome. If you need anything let me know. I reside in the biggest mansion in South Park.
Everyone, please stop moving to Charlotte (especially South Charlotte)...lol
Yes the city is growing but we still welcome you all!!
Everyone is making their exodus from the northeast lol 😆 😂 🤣 wonderful... can't wait to leave new york in my rear view mirror.
lol yeah it's nice to change things up and explore a new city.
Diversity is an issue in Charlotte..not a lot to offer for people of color..
I believe any city you move to you need to come there with education and skills of some kind and doors will open for you.
@@CandiceMarieinspires Who was talking about education? Charlotte is a city ran by good ole boys and girls.. in order to do any thing.you have to get in line w the conservatism that exists here..
@@KL-qx4ok I guess that's one way to view the world.
@Mylin Sharpe I've been learning more about Charlotte since this video. I have now gotten a job here, my fiance came here with a job from up north. Charlotte ranked last in an analysis of economic mobility in America’s 50 largest cities by the Equality of Opportunity Project. I drove by tent city last weekend and unfortunately, it's getting larger.
Is Charlotte gay friendly?
U look like brandy
No she doesn’t 🥴
