I was browsing today and came across a discussion board on City-Data.com.Someone posed a reply on Stallings which is where we're moving to :
"Stallings is a nice area. Just south of Matthews and north of Indian Trail. It is an easy commute to everything in Charlotte. Yes, Union County is a bit less expensive to live than Mecklenburg County but I am sure since it is growing so fast, will eventually catch up. That is a good thing. Schools in that area are better than the CMS schools."
And there seems to be a lot of people relocating to NC from the North East!
"I don't really see it as a sacrifice. The Charlotte area has 2 great lakes - Lake Wylie (south side) and Lake Norman (north side). Both good for boating, fishing, camping and swimming. About 30-40 minutes in either direction. The ocean is anywhere from 1 - 5 hours away depending where you want to go. Charleston is about 1 1/2 hrs. Ocean Isle is 2 hours. Bald Head Island is 3 hours. Myrtle Beach, SC is only 3 hours away. Jacksonville FL beaches are only 5 hours. Mountains are 1 hour north or west depending where you want to go. There is skiing and tubing and other winter activities up there. West Virginia is only 3 hours for skiiing. Atlanta is only 4 hours away. Raleigh is 2 1/2 hours. Disney is only 9 hours. NEED I SAY MORE? I don't consider leaving NY behind a big sacrifice."
Must say something for NC if everyone from the great white north keeps heading this direction!
I think we made the right decision.
