Just wondering what the nicest area of Charlotte is. I really like the city and I might move there. Nothing definite, just curiously searching the nation for places I like.

So, I would have about 1 mil to spend on a 3/2 house, maybe with a pool. What are the nicest areas I should look at?

Thanks for any responses.

The Myers Park and Eastover areas are very nice! $1 million for a 3/2?! I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the home prices here.

Myers Park or anywhere in Southpark.. Myers Park is an older stately area.

North of Charlotte-- the Lake Norman area, on the lake.

Towns on the lake are Cornelius, Denver, Mooresville, Sherrills Ford, Troutman...VERY nice and some exclusive communities around the lake too!

You would be able to buy pretty much anywhere in this area. What is really important to you in a home? Do you want to be near uptown? If so, you likely wouldn't get a pool but I would suggest Eastover, Myers Park, Dilworth or Elizabeth. If you want to be near Lake Norman, probably The Point or The Peninsula. More of a country club setting -- River Run, Ballantyne Country Club, Longview, Firethorne, the Palisades (also The Point and The Peninsula). A bunch of other areas might work as well, again, depending on what is most important to you -- Southpark, Conservatory, Quail Hollow, Kingsmead, Highgate, Providence Downs, Chatelaine, Skycroft (note the last group is south of Charlotte and Union County).

For what you can spend, you will likely get a bigger house than a 3/2. I would discuss what you are looking for with your realtor, and have them start sending you listings. Depending on where you are moving from I think you will be very happy with what your money can buy here

Preferably a family friendly area with fun, safe areas and shopping centers for teenagers to walk around in.

Does it snow at all in Charlotte?

ahhhhh very good!!! A fellow Californian...

and you're considering making a move--away?

Must admit, I didn't want to go...but when given the opportunity to move back-- I didn't want to go either...

Lot's I miss from California, but even more things I don't!

Good luck if you choose to move here!
