Given the location, I think you're right. While Kings Mountain is partially in Gaston County, schools are by county and on the Gaston side of town, kids go to school in Bessemer City. Schools are better on the Cleveland County side of Kings Mountain and Cherryville. Plus the road to Cherryville is in the Cleveland County side of town.

I'll be candid: I am a New Yorker, of Italian heritage; when you look at me, or hear the way in which I enunciate words, my background comes through. The reception that I have received by local folks, varies widely.

If you live in Belmont, you could take the backroads to Lincolnton; it's a 25 mile drive, but most of it is at high speeds.

Kings Mountain is a small town, but it's people are friendly and welcoming. Aside from Kings Mountain, I would advise against anything that's west of Highway 321. There are pockets of communities that are largely insular, especially west of 321.

As of the 2010 census, Belmont, Kings Mountain, and Lincolnton were roughly the same size, between 10,000 and 11,000. I expect that Belmont will show more growth in the census this year. I'm speaking of city limits vs postal boundaries.
