I wrote a blog yesterday about the cost of living advantages of moving to Charlotte. Well my wife and I were discussing the blog and she mentioned somethingng I completely forgot about....one of the primary reasons we chose Charlotte over other parts of North Carolina or the South. It was it's location.
Charlotte North Carolina is tucked away in the southwest part of the state bordering right up against South Carolina. But what made it attractive to us was the proximity to things we loved to do. When we were considering moving here a local agent mentioned to us that the beauty of Charlotte was it's location. See you can drive a couple hours Northwest and be in the mountains. In the spring and fall times we love to go hiking and camping. What place is better than the Appalachian mountains to do that in? if you prefer skiing in the winter months there is enough ski slopes within a couple hour drive to give you all the white stuff you ever will want.
Now, If I want to drive three hours southeast; I can be on Myrtle beach enjoying the ocean and all that it has to offer. Sitting on the sand enjoying the sun, making sand castles with my kids or body surfing in the waves.
But what makes Charlotte so great is that because of our location we are protected to the West by the mountains. So any terrible weather that is coming in from the west is usually dissipated before it hits Charlotte area. We are far enough inland to not have any major effects of the storms that hit the ocean front cities.
So, living in Charlotte allows you to enjoy all those outdoor activities you love without sacrificing the weather and climate for it. Best of all you can usually appease everyone in the family with it's proximity to mountains or beaches.
