Hi shanee76,

What type of work experience do you have? Start there, with employment. Charlotte is huge, and can be a great place to start new, so it might be easier to figure out where you want to work then choose the area you want to live in.

I moved here almost 8 years ago and know the city pretty well. Message me if I can help in any way!

You need to start by researching how much money you can make in Charlotte and how much it will cost to live. A small apartment in a nice area will be at least $800 a month, plus utilities. Its a city that is hard to live in without a car.

South End is close to the light rail, but the apartments/condos aren't cheap. I'm not sure what type of salary your education/experience would demand, but the south is not known for paying well. I would look into securing a position first, it will be easier to build a budget that way. Good luck!!!
