I ve lived in Fayetteville for 18 years (I m 23 now) and my bf and I plan on moving to another city in North Carolina before our 1 year old daughter starts kindergarten. We ve both grown tired and fed up with Fayetteville, not necessarily because of the city itself, but mostly because it s gotten too populated for our liking (over 200,000 people) and we ve just grown bored with it and want to move on to a new place. We do like that Fayetteville is historic, we like downtown, and it is beginning to develop more things like festival park, more shopping, places to eat, etc. but it won t be enough to keep us living here the rest of our lives. It would be nice to find a city that is similar to Fayetteville but not so populated and maybe has less crappy spots. We like parks, fun city events, lots of things to do and places to eat. We don t really need to live in a place that is business-centered. We still want to live close enough to Fayetteville so that we can visit a few times a month to see our friends and family and to attend the festivals Fayetteville has (Dogwood Festival, Folk Festival). I m not too big on cold, so I probably wouldn t like to live in or too close to the mountains. I love the beach but we don t necessarily need to live at one. A place that is not too populated, but not too empty... a good mix between urban and rural (suburban?) ... has lots to offer day and night, all year round ... has a good community with nice people ... is the kind of city we d like to live in in NC.So ... if you have a good idea of what would be the best options for us, please let me know!* So far, I ve been interested in Carrboro/Chapel Hill. I like the kind of town Carrboro is and what it seems to offer (especially the Farmer s Market), and that it s so close to Chapel Hill that we could commute there too and take advantage of what it has to offer too. What advice do you have on these cities?Thank you.
Reidsville is really small but its a great town to grow up in, its really close to Greensboro and you don t have to live in a huge city. Its also really pretty during the fall and spring and its never too hot or cold. Also Brown Summit and Summerfield are in that same region, close to Greensboro..it really is a great place.
If you think Carrboro is good, give it a try. It really is a unique town...you find very few like it in the South. It s the most walkable city in the state too.
DEFINITELY!!!!! Move to Raleigh!
Charlotte can be your next site to build your home or to select one from available plenty. As per the wikipedia, Charlotte has 199 neighborhoods which span from Uptown to Ballantyne. Uptown has undergone a massive construction phase with buildings from Bank of America, Wells Fargo and multiple condos. Elizabeth Avenue has also had large residential buildings under construction. On Kenilworth and Charlottetowne Avenues, near Carolinas Medical Center, the Metropolitan, a major mixed-use project, was recently completed.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte,_��
