[@rainellem]

I've been searching high & low for a video about relocating to Charlotte before coming across this today, soooo helpful!!!

[@xojaechanel]

Aww that’s exactly why I made this video. Happy to help 😊💕

[@camtv5505]

Don’t move here we full man 😂

[@denish1]

​@camtv5505 Right! I know you're 'joking but reading all the comments about people moving here made me anxious 😅 smh. It's a great place so I don't blame 'em

[@Allthingsgreeneyedwa]

I've lived there twice and CHARLOTTE IS AMAZING!! It's beautiful and CLEAN. The traffic is getting a little hectic but its still small. Its a BIG little CITY!! Football Sundays are sooooo fun! If you are young, Isay GO FOR IT!!

[@xojaechanel]

Yesss I love it!!

[@BossdomChronicals]

Yes chole we don't know how to drive..lol

[@amberpacholok]

I’m from the 919 area and I have been living in CLT for 17 years! Best decision I ever made. So glad you love it

[@BELEZADOGLAM]

I just moved here almost 2 months ago and I’m loving it 😍

[@xojaechanel]

Aww welcome 💕

[@TheTlewis3074]

Plaza Midwood is near uptown and a great neighborhood.

[@xojaechanel]

Yessss, it’s so nice over there too!

[@dldmills53]

Charlotte is a vibe. I want to move back so bad 😩

[@thatblerdquan]

Moving here in August cant wait

[@ARI-kp9gs]

Please do a video on comparing Raleigh to living in charlotte. I am trying to decide, I want to leave South Carolina badly.

[@StellyWhite]

Welcome! Been here for 12 years and just got a house. It’s a lot to do and it’s constantly growing.

[@adaptreform692]

I hear this all the time, what is it actually that blk ppl do here in Charlotte?

[@clothevirgo]

Hey Sis! Fellow KZbinr here! I just moved back to CLT after traveling for a few years. I lived in the RDU area during college and I’ll say: I think you’ll enjoy CLT the more you meet people and get used to the city. There’s so much more to do here than in Raleigh!

[@karlareadstheclassics217]

BoA headquarters is here. Housing is off the chain expensive unless you're an experienced financial sector professional. There are also too many low grade schools, especially in East CLT.

[@stephaniemcallister4383]

Love the advice you gave about making friends. I’ve lived in Greensboro for a year and a half and haven’t made any friends yet. I’m definitely going to put myself out there like you said

[@BeevsthesySTEM]

Hello fellow CLT youtuber 🤗 I just moved back here after being gone for a decade a few months ago after a breakup as well. Glad you've been enjoying it so far! New Sub!

[@devindargan7663]

Moving to Charlotte in a couple months looking forward to it

[@Anna08371]

I personally do not like Charlotte, but I’m so happy for you that you’re having a blast! This is my 1st video of you, but you seem so sweet. Have a great time girl!

[@TheBeautifullife04]

Why dont you like it

[@hooddreamztv]

Welcome to Charlotte. Glad to have you!!!

[@riahmone8852]

Aw hey girl. I’m born and raised in Raleigh and I’m moving to charlotte in July! I’m ready to leave I love Charlotte!

[@wncoulte]

Lots of great restaurants downtown. And great churches.

[@eareoke]

I'm thinking of moving to North Carolina for a few years so I instantly clicked to watch this

[@Goddessluv22]

Virgo here❤❤ . In DC but definitely looking into the Carolinas when it is time to buy a home. Love DC but wanted a calmer hustle/bustle

[@TheAlisaStevenson]

Welcome to the Queen City!! New subbie here!

[@xojaechanel]

Thank you beautiful 💕

[@jerrydavis3548]

You move to a good city Charlotte is the best trust me

[@lenettabutterfly4822]

We full please go to surrounding areas please and thank you😊

[@shelly8332]

I move from NY to Charlotte 8 yrs ago and I hate it here

[@ARI-kp9gs]

what do youhate about it? I am relocating from Brooklyn and considering charlotte this summer.

[@ajcj710]

@@ARI-kp9gs​​⁠​⁠I live in Charlotte and it might be because it is a little boring here, although more companies around the country are opening locations here.

[@evan1586]

I moved to Charlotte in 97 from Bklyn, personally it was beautiful, I moved back to Bklyn 2020 to be with my aged parents the inconvenience is not comparable there is NO PARKING here to get the basic necessities, Come On!

[@evan1586]

​​@@ARI-kp9gsthe Bklyn neighborhood I live in is Beautiful but the quality of life in Charlotte in my personal opinion is BETTER, be extremely cautious they didn't seem to friendly as Regards Northerners, I know the reasons why but don't be surprised of their stereotypical views.

[@evan1586]

​@@ajcj710boring, peace and quiet might be a real blessing.

[@SweetpeaC]

I'm trying to visit with my sis before we decide on our move. Thanks for this video 😊

[@xojaechanel]

Good luck!! 😊

[@Lifewithnani1217]

Aww , I moved to Raleigh in 2020 and moved to Charlotte area last year lol, I loved raleigh , but still exploring Charlotte

[@SilTheWriter]

I’m considering leaving Houston to go to Charlotte or Raleigh once my son finishes elementary next summer! I’m soooo torn!

[@honeysnectar]

Lol ima Virgo moving to Charlotte too love it

[@xojaechanel]

Yessss Virgo, you’ll love it here 😊🩷

[@haleypenny]

Such a great video! Thanks for sharing your experience

[@xojaechanel]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@larrybryant6015]

My wife and I are moving next year.

[@xojaechanel]

Awww nice! You’ll love it here!

[@rebekahdavis5087]

Thank you for this I been so ready to break my lease and leave Virginia this definitely gave me the motivation to do it! 🤣

[@fmoore14]

Welcome to Charlotte!!!🎉

[@tta1390]

Do you think Charlotte is a bit walkable or livable without a car

[@jessfilmdiaries]

What's the best area to live in - as close to uptown as possible & safe? Seems like the average 2 bedroom in uptown is around 2300, but i think I'd prefer a townhouse for that price.

[@AshleiWithan_I]

I’m so excited to be relocating to Charlotte, living in Miami is so overrated. 🥲 new sub ✨

[@xojaechanel]

You’ll love it here ☺️

[@shaylataylor9525]

Planning on moving there from Miami. Just finished my info trip to CLT and I’m back in Miami. I already hate it. This city is toxic.

[@imophelia]

All the Virgos in the comments 😂 I’m a Virgo moving to Charlotte at the beginning of August. I was just offered an amazing job opportunity there. I can’t wait!

[@BellaSalla]

Yayy! Welcome to Charlotte 🥂

[@xojaechanel]

Thank you! 😊

[@Eaglelevel100]

Thanks for making a real 1st-hand video about moving to Charlotte. It looks like you chose a good area; but what area is it? Are there other areas you know for a fact that are good?

[@Eaglelevel100]

Noticed you mentioned church. Do you recommend any churches in Charlotte?

[@NurseShakara]

I've been here since 2021 but I still haven't made it outside lol.

[@acestarone]

lol

[@DariaRivera-go2sl]

Hey sis moving from Raleigh to Charlotte soon how are the churches and can you recommend one?❤

[@xojaechanel]

Hey love! Congratulations on your move 🤍 There’s a lot of great churches in the area but I think it solely depends on your religion and preference.

[@N_Quantum_Meruit]

Hey you forgot Ballantyne, Steele Creek, Plaza Midwood, University City, Aboretum, and Waverly and much more! Ohhh...you also forgot the Charlotte FC MLS team.😎

[@xojaechanel]

Thanks!

[@cajunbeach]

You are so adorable!! :) had me cracking up talking about Charlotte Panthers lol.....its Carolina Panthers my love.

[@xojaechanel]

Haha, thank you!

[@Renouncely3D]

Question: I'm moving there in May ...Looking for a good neighbor close to the airport ... do you know of any?

[@kharab31]

Why the airport?

[@Renouncely3D]

@@kharab31 I travel a lot for work... I need at-least 3 ways to get back to a place ....when there is traffic

[@N_Quantum_Meruit]

Yes...Steele Creek is BOOMING...it's traffic laden but it's entirely new development out there. Plus the River District is coming online next.

[@EazyMoneyWayz]

Goooo🚦🚦🚦♥️♥️

[@gg8723]

also moving here after a breakup

[@cg2439]

How's the Asian community in Charlotte vs Raleigh??

[@blackgirlmajick]

I’m from Charlotte and I will be moving back later this year. It’s a good amount of Asian residents,but there is no “Chinatown” or at least it wasn’t 4 .5 years ago when I moved. My best friend in school was Vietnamese and she introduced me to her community,which is rather large.

[@brittneys8333]

How is the job market?

[@xojaechanel]

I can’t really say because I’m not currently looking for a job but I’ve heard that it was really good, especially for people who work in finance!

[@imperialkhmer6146]

How is the job market over there? Do they pay good?

[@brittneys8333]

Job market sucks and after a while it gets boring

[@lisamccoy6167]

Pay sucks

[@camtv5505]

@@brittneys8333cap I make over 100k a year living in Charlotte you gotta look around I got a tech job.

[@bsureb4]

Carolina Place Mall in Pineville NC. Minutes from Charlotte. And for the record. Charlotte has become a melting pot. So you can't say people from Charlotte can't drive because there are people coming from all over moving here. Just saying.

[@xojaechanel]

Whether they’re from here or not people in Charlotte can’t drive!

[@RINGOTVReactions]

I just moved to NC. Where are the black women? SMH Where are the Parks where people go to walk, bike ride or jog? Being that I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York I'm accustomed to going to Central Park and Prospect Park. I'm in the Rockwell NC area and need to know where the action is. Where are the Black women with their sun dresses and sandals? lol I'm in the perfect area but didn't do research on where the women at. LOL

[@VirgosGroove3]

They’re everywhere. Try to look for events on Eventbrite or the Ganntt museum hosts events often

[@RINGOTVReactions]

@@VirgosGroove3 i'm in a nice quiet area in Rockwell NC. Too much is going on in NY so i moved. crime, madness ,high prices, people are mean spirited. just the other day there was a crazy man throwing stuff from a 20 story building and people getting pushed in the train tracks every week. People losing their minds in NY.

[@Deerych]

You moved into the middle of nowhere and wondering where the black women are? Try doing research earlier? Or take that 1 hour commute to the city?

[@LyciaJ]

I am moving away from charlotte. It is small and has become overpopulated and is not the same as it used to be. Been here for almost 15 years. It has been boring because I have been here for too long.

[@mrman3523]

My cousin always say “its the CAROLINA panthers” not charlotte lol

[@xojaechanel]

Thank you Mr. Football police 🫶🏾

[@mrman3523]

No worries, I think it’s funny as you do when he correct me.

[@Betterdailyy]

I’m moving there in July 2024. How is the dating scene there for a single man mid 30’s? Side note you got Coco Jones vibes!!!

[@carolwilliams6633]

I hate Charlotte! But have no choice. I’m 70 and need to live with daughter in Charlotte. Drivers are crazy, and Charlotte can’t keep up with growth. Need more transportation.
