EXPLORING CHARLOTTE: touring houses, shopping, and seeing the city

[@jalyassin]

I rarely leave my house nowadays too. I work from home, workout at home, cook and eat at home. I leave once a week for grocery shopping and my husband and I will go for a walk every so often but that's it

[@chloehall6077]

I’m living in Charlotte (in south end) and get so excited to hear you talk about the city!! Love it so much.

[@mickeydsfries3727]

I’m so glad your out and about showing off this awesome city! This city in my opinion is one of the best cities in America. It’s so young and still growing like a weed. I’ve been in Charlotte since 1993, moved here right out of high school. I’m originally from Charleston SC. I love Charlotte more. Thank you for doing some vlogs in Charlotte!!! Keep up the good work!!

[@sadiescott5503]

i live in charlotte and poppys bagels is the BEST bagel shop in charlotte. so happy you are showing charlotte i feel like it’s so underrated.

[@krised5194]

Charlotte is so underrated! But at the same time I like it being a little southern secret lol!

[@kaylatcompton]

Love seeing what some of the houses are like in Charlotte! It's always fun to explore new places in your area!

[@allisonnickerson1226]

I just moved to Charlotte and can’t wait to explore more!! I went to Vestique and absolutely LOVED IT!

[@lexiwhitney1884]

Born and raised in Charlotte, graduated college in May and moved back home because I love it here!! Recently some of my favorite spots have been Sunflour Baking Co., Caswell Station, Dilworth Neighborhood Grill, Bao Ding, Copper, and Villani's Bakery! Also if you like Vestique you'll love Kla, it's a boutique on Park Rd. with the cutest pieces

[@allsmilezxo]

Thank you for this video My boyfriend and i are moving to Charlotte in March from Florida Big change but I’m super excited. This video made me even more excited

[@taveeyus]

I was living in Charlotte but had to move back home during the pandemic and this was refreshing to see. Inspired me to go back out and explore my hometown, which is still in NC but near the coast. Moving back to Charlotte next month though so I’m really excited to go back to the city!

[@drisra1964]

Loved this vlog , you and kian always seem so relaxed together , loved seeing new place other than NY !

[@jenguady]

“Your vlog laugh” haha so relatable I turn into such a giddy person when I vlog 😂

[@0Saqia0]

[@gabbynietoo7840]

[@ElyseParis7]

I wish me moving to Charlotte after graduation happened, here's to hoping in the future. I love these vlogs!

[@megdewsnap]

I really love how cozy and small these houses were! 💗

[@Lizzie8697]

my jaw DROPPED wen you said 205. the houses of that size by me on long island go for around 700! but ik ny is just more expensive in general

[@cutedotz]

Visited Charlotte a couple years ago and downtown is sooo much fun! Love it there!

[@kennastubbs2959]

Absolutely loved this vlog, love this day in the life take us around with you style. So much fun ☺️☺️

[@lindseygrohoski]

I currently live in AZ and my boyfriend and I are planning on moving to Charlotte next summer so it's really cool to see this! Compared to AZ, I would say what I've seen listed on Zillow is not expensive compared to places here. The two you checked out I would say are a little high for what they are. Love seeing this process tho!

[@laurenofmay]

I loved this vlog! I don’t have plans to move anytime soon but Charlotte is at the top of my list for the next city I move to

[@NatalieBarbu]

I recommend!

[@jenna9901]

I’m so glad I follow a Charlotte youtuber because I know where all this stuff is 🙌🏼 if you’re from Charlotte let’s meet up sometime!! We already have something in common if we love Natalie’s vids 😁

[@latagaw80c]

so crazy seeing places i recognize and i love discovering new spots in charlotte as well! also i'm a huge fan of vestique

[@aliciakeysbyheart]

I live in Charlotte and there is this beautiful new furniture place called RH near SouthPark with an outdoor rooftop restaurant that's so good!

[@krised5194]

I absolutely loved charlotte when i visited!

[@monicacinco577]

Earth tones look AMAZING on you ❤

[@ereyes621]

Trying to buy a house in Charlotte is crazy right now...Inventory is even lower than before the pandemic. We’ve been looking even for almost a year now. Everything gets snatched up super fast.

[@sparklysparkle21]

wow houses in charlotte are so inexpensive. so jelly

[@hxnxrchy]

[@HarmoneyS]

[@justme123497]

[@judymcfadden3577]

Loved the vlog, especially seeing the new houses. The prices are so cheap compared to Boston.

[@NatalieBarbu]

[@gracedupont209]

Best city ever!!! Thanks for showing it off ❤️❤️

[@JenLauren]

[@saltier.s]

i loveeee Charlotte! I have been there a couple of times to visit Elevation Church, went to a John Mayer concert, visited Billy Graham's museum

[@emilygstephens]

could you do a video going to all the antique markets, retro photo spots, and thrift stores in charlotte?

[@FashionbyMer]

Aw I loved this video! Loved seeing you out & about 😊

[@WithSandra]

Charlotte actually looks like a lot of fun!

[@NatalieBarbu]

It is!

[@zoeheartsclothes]

You should check out noda area for homes!!! I used to live in noda and it’s growing so much

[@david65662]

I would look at some proprieties university area also. Maybe noda area also. I've noticed a lot of proprieties popping up in those areas.

[@aglabradorable]

i love vlogs like this!!

[@NatalieBarbu]

Thanks!!

[@hmmccoy428]

Lol!! I grew up in the neighborhood next to the duplex (Dilworth). I miss that area!

[@NatalieBarbu]

Love dilworth

[@meganarden2214]

you never have to apologize for Gossip Girl!

[@KR-dj5kn]

i stay in my house so much its sad, ive always wanted to like explore my city tho.

[@claudiaaa4268]

$275k?!! Im moving to Charlotte!! Lol I recently moved from san Diego CA to the suburbs thinking it would be cheaper and it turns out a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom is $435k. Sigh🙇‍♀️ Good luck. Hope you guys find something you are looking for!!🤗

[@Heather-nm4qj]

One bedroom condos in San Diego are more expensive than Charlotte!!

[@melheartsmusic1]

Look in shamrock hills. Houses are being flipped like crazy. They are 5-10 minutes from noda

[@zoeyroseandjessica]

You should do a video on gentrification and small businesses in Charlotte!

[@misskiss141]

Wow this was so cool to watch as someone who doesn’t live in america! I can’t believe you could get an investment property for under 300k 🤯 I’m from Sydney Australia and that seems so cheap to me.. definitely would not get a property or even a small block of land for that much here

[@NatalieBarbu]

It def depends on the cityb

[@sharninini]

same! I'm from Melbourne and spent over 400 for a 2 bed apartment...

[@Alwaysninastouch]

Live your videos! Just found you and I actually live in the same are in charlotte as you! ❤️

[@brookieallred]

[@justinacruz1882]

Loved this vlog!

[@tlh2019]

[@DailyAubrey]

[@rosaliearianna]

Okay but the wall in that boutique is so cute, I need a link to the decal 👀

[@NatalieBarbu]

Me too!! Lol

[@SamElle]

Ahhhh I’m exploring Charlotte vicariously through you!!!! I’ve never been!

[@mirandaalexis]

[@Bestiesss-33]

[@anniemendlovitz6562]

[@NatalieBarbu]

[@Varaidzo1]

Gossip girl in the background at the end of the vlog 😁

[@chioopet]

The cottages gave me Vivarium vibes 😳

[@katee3155]

omg you went to the plant pop up at moxie mercantile! I work there haha!

[@NatalieBarbu]

I went into moxie too! It’s so cute!!

[@SarahSchneider2]

The houses are nice. The only one i wouldn't like is the one where they were all the same on the outside.

[@NatalieBarbu]

I know I don’t like that :(

[@JessLynne17]

This video is so helpful because I'm moving to Charlotte next year most likely (as long as the office I'll be working in reopens by next summer)!! I was wondering if it's possible to live in Charlotte without a car or if that's like a necessity? I might ask more questions as I continue researching so thanks in advance!!

[@emmamcgee1966]

I live in fayetteville nc, honestly I think a car would be better! I don't think charlotte has any subways. So i say yes to getting a car!Be safe :) ❤️

[@HCRaeMS]

Hey! I live in Charlotte and I would definitely recommend you get a car. Unless you’re gonna live in uptown. But even then I would recommend it lol. Public transportation isn’t the best and many parts of the city(outside uptown) don’t even have sidewalks

[@lexiwhitney1884]

Depends on where you live/work. If you live and work uptown you may be able to get away w no car, but the train lines are not extensive so you may have to take the bus/Uber sometimes

[@0Saqia0]

GOSSIP GIRL IN THR BACKGROUND

[@gloriarosales1318]

have u ever considered tampa as choice for buying besides of charlotte

[@eanna1232]

it is SOOOOOO cheap there for houses!

[@hestiabeukes9565]

Why aren’t there any fences around the houses?

[@julie_fitzgerald]

The second house looks like a jail with those half windows so high up.

[@0Saqia0]

haha

[@NatalieBarbu]

I didn’t love that either!

[@drisra1964]

Julie Fitzgerald omg they made me nervous too !!

[@danielleweaver8181]

What was the name of the flower shop?

[@NatalieBarbu]

Grow!

[@safaira1]

Most houses cost that. I noticed that they all have the same interior color.

[@rebekaaa507]

I'm from the Bay Area in CA and wowww comparatively that's so cheap lol jealous and good luck!! :)

[@kaisamoht]

I thought the houses were a little pricey for the amount of square footage. I live in upstate New York.

[@NatalieBarbu]

You can definitely find cheaper in suburbs for more square footage! This was just so close to the city.

[@kaisamoht]

Natalie Barbu Ok thank you! I’m closing on a house soon, I look forward to seeing more of these videos!

[@ricardom1527]

Ur Awesome

[@bricheese473]

Seems soooo cheap compared to my area, mind you my area is Ontario, Canada but you can’t get anything decent for under 500 !

[@davidparnell3241]

Hi!

[@bebeerin]

lol kian called out your vlog laugh

[@nataliebaddour3089]

Natalie Barbu, Realtor??

[@carmenmezinca1406]

Thanks Natalie for sharing your thoughts with us. You are really inspiring❤️By the way do you know that your last name is actually pronounced differently? You are putting the accent on the „u“, but the accent goes on the „a“.

[@kalanisen9689]

Pls tour houses like urs and show us .O.

[@jjforshort]

This was a g1

[@HarmoneyS]

First!

[@meharasad4028]

Halo

[@DaintyGlam]

This video had a little too many ads and was kinda annoying to get through

[@valerysanchez]

I would not want to live in that second house at all, not my cup of tea.
