My boyfriend and I are moving to the Charlotte area this November. He will be attending Johnson & Wales University and I will be attending CPCC. I found this site today and was reading to find out a little bit more about the area before we moved. Because of safety, I've noticed many people recommend Matthews. I found an affordable apartment in Matthews and wanted to know any information about this town (is it considered a town?)
Matthews is a very nice area not far from CHarlotte. There are many stores, restaurants, and things to do and see. If you stay on the union county side of matthews your taxes will be signifigantly lower, and lots less crime than Charlotte. Overall I think you will be very pleased with your choice. Please feel free to pm me with any other questions. I am just one town over from there.
