These are good options.

Agree with the above and would add Matthews. As to whether it’s worth it or not, that depends on how happy you are in Florida and how attractive the job offer is that you’ve just received.

What’s your comp / budget and where would your office be? Myers Park is closer to the city and has good schools, but it’s expensive. The places listed above are an extra 15 to 20 minutes outside of Uptown (Charlotte’s downtown is called Uptown) but are more affordable.

Tryon St runs the entire length of the county. One can not accurately say Tryon St is automatically Uptown.
801 N Tryon thru 650 S Tryon is within I-277 and Uptown.
900 S Tryon thru 1600 S Tryon is in Southend which is immediately south of Uptown and where the newest A class office buildings are going up.

Dm me happy to help!

Highly dependent on your income

Agreed with above this all depends on what you want to and can afford, are you going to send your kids to private or public schools, how much commute can you tolerate. A lot of the big private schools are on the south side of town, CMS schools in town will be hit or miss depending on which ones, etc. some of the recommendations in the first post are a long commute but assume like anything else it comes down to what can you afford and what you want. The nice neighborhoods in town are going to cost a lot more than in Matthews or outlying areas for the most part.

South Charlotte

Moved to Charlotte from FL 5 years ago. One of the best decisions I made. Weather, economy, culture are better here. Where in FL are you moving from?

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.
