Life Update: Moved To Charlotte, NC! Do I regret moving here? Whats It Like?

[@krucifixproductions]

Born and raised in Charlotte. Believe it or not uptown used to be kinda ghetto lol and most of our “Projects/Hoods” have been torn down and gentrified so I’m happy to see what it has become I never would’ve thought so many people would move here and like it. Living here since birth I decided to move on the outskirts of Charlotte in 2020 but I love to see my city thriving and all the new people here💪🏾💪🏾

[@LboogieCLT]

Facts all facts very similar story i lived near uptown off statesville road

[@KP-mr5nb]

The banks are FORCING all of us to move to Charlotte in order to keep our jobs. Most of the people who you see in uptown are not originally from Charlotte and they didn't move to Charlotte because they wanted to. Charlotte is important to the banks because of the stock trading floor that we have there......and it's New York City that is behind the scenes building Charlotte.

[@ByCrystalWilliams]

Can I ask you a question I hear that the area is filled with snakes and flying roaches, is there an area that has little to no snakes and flying roaches?

[@simplyshatice]

@@ByCrystalWilliamsgirl no 😂. There is no area in NC that doesn’t have palmetto bugs (big black flying roaches that you’ll wish were normal sized). Snakes are touch and go. I may see a snake 2-3 times a year but those bugs have seasons 😅 winter, summer, mid fall… matter fact just get you big stop spray and spray every 2 months. Then get a raid can cause they do not die immediately. They are not regular azz bugs. They are gangsters 😮‍💨

[@ByCrystalWilliams]

@@simplyshatice this is what scares me… so do the bugs get in the houses or garages? And what about the snakes? I’m terrified of opening a cabinet and a snake just happens to be in my house 😫

Charlotte is becoming the Atlanta PT 2. The traffic is crazy now. Jobs are hard to find and they don’t pay enough for the cost of living. The food is ok. Unless you have money. Charlotte is not the move now.

Yes you have a new subscriber! Have a wonderful and blessed day!

[@Goddessluv22]

I left Alabama and came to DC. I am considering moving back to the south but the money has to make sense. I wouldn’t ever move to the south to make lower than what I’m making now. I like DC but the traffic is crazy. I’ve gotten used to it. The advantage is there is always something to do and somewhere to go, the disadvantage is finding somewhere to park your car while you step out or coming back home at night to no parking space available. That’s the only thing. Other than that, I have four or five states within the area of the DMV that I can visit so I’m never bored I have family here but I don’t know them. My work and church family make it easier to live here.

I was born in Charlotte in 1976, I’ve lived in several places some larger, some smaller, but there is just something about Charlotte. It’s simply a special place, it’s hard to explain. It’s not perfect, there are some glaring flaws, but it’s a place that invites you to own it. To put it simply, it becomes home.

I’m happy I’ve come across your video. Charlotte will be my next move, I will be up there in August to look at apartments and planned move for December 2024. I also currently live in Houston Texas, and I have also lived in Dallas Texas. So if you have any questions ask away.

Dallas is somewhere I really want to live ! Yes I have so many questions ! lol What is the cost of living like over there ? Is the weather always hot ? What are the people like ?

[@_arieee0]

@@DesirableBeautyy So Dallas is a very beautiful city I lived there 1yr in 2023, I sometimes debate if I gave it a fair chance and should try again. It’s expensive I’m not going to lie, if you like luxury expect to spend luxury money. I paid $1600 for a 612sqft apartment 🥴 but I also lived in Addision right by the beltline, which has alot of restaurants and shopping. I would say if you plan on living within the metroplex expect to pay more. Outskirts will be cheaper some great areas Addison, Farmers Branch, Plano, Frisco( very far but nice) Las Colinas, Irving. Also no state income tax in Texas, and no property tax on vehicles. You do have to renew your registration every yr which is easy. I do it from a app on my phone, get a inspection and then just complete the rest on my app they send a sticker. I only stepped foot in a DMV 1 in 5yrs I’ve lived in Texas. It’s extremely hot in Texas due to the humidity, I haven’t been to Charlotte yet so I can’t really compare. Texas heat is no joke especially summertime, you will literally not want to step foot outdoors. I think Houston humidity is alot worse than Dallas. It does get cold in Dallas to me and I’m comparing this to Houston a place that doesn’t get really cold. Dallas also gets snow occasionally so expect the city to shut completely down and everyone to panic because they’re not equipped for that type of weather. I’m from the Midwest so it amazes me how they act over alittle snow🙄. Also our power grid sucks so expect to lose power occasionally 😩. Now as fas as the people 😂 Dallas is Boujee and not really in a nice boujee more of like a pretentious boujee. I tell people this all the time you either get really hood in Dallas or really Boujee there is no inbetween. I found it harder to make friends in Dallas than I did in Houston because people aren’t as friendly in Dallas than they are in Houston in my opinion. If you are able to make friends in Dallas I think you will have a great experience. I will also say I think it’s alittle segregated in Dallas, it’s most def not as diverse as Houston. I do think they are really trying to grow the black scene in Dallas with the black owned restaurants and businesses, but it’s not there just yet. I’m going to be honest don’t expect great food in Dallas, I was able to find a few places I love and eat at everytime I go back to visit. Dallas is really growing alot of corporations have offices there, they are building a disney world in Frisco, 2 airports DFW and Southwest Airlines has their own airport there Love Field. I would say if you haven’t visit yet most definitely do so and stay for about a week, you can even take a day trip down to Houston straight drive down 45 it’s only 3 1/2 hrs away. Alot of people either really love Dallas, or just think it’s a ok city.

I moved to Charlotte from Atlanta after living there for 11 years and I made a good decision to move here. I left Atlanta because it was too big for me and to many people are cutthroat and I felt like I did everything I wanted so it was time to move on. I spent sometime in Dallas and Houston I feel like those cities are similar to Atlanta... Houston is huge too big for me. I like the Carolinas it works best besides I can always visit these other places I just don't want to live there. The cost of living has gone up over the years here for sure however it's still less than places like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Austin. Peace!

People move to Charlotte to either retire or to be trendy, I’m a little over it 😭.

Great areas in Charlotte, but Charlotte is still not organized in terms of the Hood/ and up scale. you can be driving down South blvd and turn a corner, and be in the Hood. I think its because they are still extending the area, by tearing down the projects and building up that area with luxury apartments…but other then that Charlotte is pretty decent.

To me, Charlotte is lacking. Infrastructure is not great, I77 from exit 1 to 12 is only 3 lanes and is terrible, highway lights don't work half the time, no Zoo, Aquarium, Casinos (in the actual city) or things to do for adults who don't want to club or just eat at a restaurant..old money denied a beautiful beach resort proposition in Huntersville last year because they didn't want the "crowd". The sports scene is great, airport is nice, plenty of concerts and people are making money here..so it all depends on what you want.

[@PINKBOIKWEEN]

This is actually the perfect comment only thing is I don't go to concerts.. And I have no reason to hang around the airport unless I'm flying, only Caucasian women are put on a pedestal to make money. And the black people who may have money don't care about anybody else Unless you're Caucasian .. Just don't be black and gay! Though the DOWNLOW syndrome is here deep...so...

I used to live in 757 and am considering Charlotte now too & I thought the same thing the first time I went I was like why is this basically Virginia Beach without the beach?? 🤣 but it’s grown on me over time 😊

[@KekeGlamdiorr]

Which area code is the outside of Charlotte I’m looking up apartments as I type lol I have interviews there in a couple of weeks 🙏🏾

[@DesirableBeautyy]

Soo happy for you!! I hope you get the job girl!! Put me on!! Loool and if you mean zip codes 28027 (concord area ),28104, 28105 (matthews ), 28078 (huntersville ), 28035 (Davidson ) 28075 (Harrisburg ) these are a few I can think of!

Hey I’m moving there for a job and I don’t have a car. What do you think the best means of transport is other than a car. I’m trying to decide if I should just get one

[@DesirableBeautyy]

Hi! Honestly depends ! Some areas have the train and then there are buses . However I do recommend having a car .

Hi there, where would you recommend on the outskirts of Charlotte to look? I am like you I love luxury but don’t have that money to spend on rent. I’m thinking of moving there fall of 2025. Do prices go down in the fall? Thanks for the info in your video!

[@emmanuelaboagye6828]

Hey, I wanted to know if you had any suggestions for affordable apartments on the outskirts of Charlotte like you mentioned. I’m moving in a month for work and everything is pretty expensive rn

@@DesirableBeautyy that’s fair! My struggle is wanting to try new ones but also just wanting to stick with my favorites 😄

[@KellyKels23]

I've been hearing Charlotte is really nice. I have family in red hill, Selma & other areas. So much so that I've never wanted to live in NC for the fear of unknowingly dating a cousin or something lol. I've lived in KY & IN my entire life though & I feel like if i don't move now, I'll never leave & experience living somewhere new. My friend lives in the Mckinney area of TX & I've been considering that area or somewhere arrive houston, which i heard is great for singles like me. I hate the heat though. Charlotte looks nice, but also expensive. Idk where I'll end up, I'm just looking for a nice, safe area that has more things I can get out & do by myself. I really wanted to live in the city, like Chicago, where i can walk everywhere but it's too expensive unfortunately. I'm open to suggestions!

[@homehealthynurse3906]

Are you meeting friends organically now? I am considering moving to Charlotte myself. Starting completely over.

[@DesirableBeautyy]

@@homehealthynurse3906 I am! But to be honest I’ve come to realize I don’t want too many friends lol. However one of my close friends from back home moved here so I’m okay with that lol I think at the time it was coming from a place of loneliness and trying to fill a void.

Any opinions from the commenter's point-of-view on living in Charlotte with children? Best school districts, things for kids to do, parks, safest areas to live?

[@toopoiseddiary]

Every one raves about the Fort mill school district. It’s on the outskirts 15mins from CLT in South Carolina. Fort Mill is actually pretty nice.

And there’s the waterpark Carowinds

What area ate you in, as a woman safety is a big concern. Any input would be great. I don't want to pay crazy rent too. Thanks your adorable

[@amyu.9722]

I've lived in Charlotte off and on for 14 years. My biggest critique is just the lack of history. I feel like that's the only thing that's missing. You go to other major cities and they wear their history proudly. It's rich and informative. You kind of have to go searching for Charlotte history. A lot of the historic buildings and homes have been torn down. *I think* we don't hear a lot about Charlotte history because Charlotte played a significant role in the Confederacy during the Civil War 😬. A lot of Charlotte's history aside from that is about the settlers, natives and black history. It sometimes feel like husk of a city. Most of the focus is on modern sports history like Nascar and Football.

[@delima1122]

So many people moving here....its so annoying! Crime has sky rocketed, traffic is crazy, and the whole vibe has changed. The Southern hospitality is fading. If you like restaurants and bars, they are catering to you out here. If you like to have a family with kids, get ready to be extremely annoyed with what the city has become.

[@jais7693]

Yeah... moved here 2019 for work and cost of living. I've lived many places, but Lord its boring af. Did all these rooftops and ... after once or twice... Beautiful weather, no lake,(that isnt brown) lack of real adult activities... the food is ok, lots of restaurants but... sigh its the south. The luxury here isn't luxe, most ish closes early... if u dont wanna eat all day... crime is crazy even when moving in nicer areas. I have friends and fam here, but I gotta get back to Chicago or ATL soon. If you are from a smaller city or want boring-ness, you prob will love it here.
