- 4-5 bd home (we work from home so need home offices) with decent yard space and elbow room from the neighbors. Oh, and no HOA (or a very loose one)
- top schools (ideally neighborhood ones, not busing across town)
- home price around 400K
- university/hospitals (this would be my employment backup if working from home ever goes down the tube)
- walkability is KEY (and I don't mean the empty sidewalks they throw into every HOA neighborhood that have no cafe's, bookstores or whatever on them and are empty, save the lone dog walker )
- a good mix of political views, leaning slightly left (but not so much that they come full circle ... you know the type)
- wide range of outdoor activities (biking, hiking)
- good (if basic) music scene (park concerts, open mic's, etc)
- some performance arts options (I love theatre - NOT musical theatre LOL)
- very, very safe neighborhood, of course (crime-wise and weather-wise)
- family-friendly, but not steeped in the whole "soccer mom" scene (I LIKE being around child-free people too, and when it's all families, things get way too child-centric, and there's no grown-up play around).

Sorry, can't think of a single place like that in Charlotte, but if you find it, let us know
Location: Some got six month some got one solid. But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

Leaving out the "political" and maybe a little more than "around 400k" I'm thinking Meyers Park. (?)
I'm leaving out the pol part as I am not savy about CLT politics.
John, double that 400,000 to about 800,000 for Myers Park!
Though you may be on to something...you CAN get a nice 4 bedroom townhome in Myers Park for around $365,000 - it would give her a lot of the things on her list, so maybe she should consider this!
