Gives me a great idea on where to look, I'm only interested in elementary school as my kids will be back in Aus by the time they are old enough for high school.
As long as we leave near our school of choice does that mean we can automatically get enrolled there?
From your description and school needs, I think you should look at Huntersville, Davidson or Cornelius. This is a high quality area of the county and in many cases your kid(s) can walk to the elementary school depending upon where you choose to live.
this person is going to work in the southpark area, why not live there?
it is a great area , elementary schools are great. Beverly Woods elem. Sharon Elem.
both great schools.
ballantyne is too far out , noth [davidson,huntersville etc] is far out IMO.
just can't beat living next to where one works and since this is SP,
which is a great area of town ,don't see the reason to encourage living that far away.
Beverly Crest might be an option - might be 4 bedroom houses in there to rent and you would be in the Elizabeth Lane Elementary school district with is an excellent school. You can walk across to the Arboretum and it would be a 10 minute drive to SP.
In regards to daycare, you may enjoy a preschool program, many of which are run out of churches. You can choose to send your child several days a week, and most are 3-4 hours in the morning. There are tons in the Southpark area, which is also where I'd suggest you look for housing. Great area, obviously close to your work, and excellent schools. No need to commute far if you don't have to. Just to start, some of the public elementary schools in that area are Sharon, Selwyn, and Beverly Woods. Welcome!

Thanks for the tips, these schools seem to have good reports so looks like the Southpark area would be ideal.

Another good recommendation, the school has very impressive academic results. Although no houses in the Beverly Crest area on either craigslist or carolinahome.

The other place to look would be Woodbridge or East Barden off of Providence Road. These are older homes and many are rented (rented there myself when we moved here). Good luck with your search. I think the school there is Landsdown - don't really know anything about it.
Opps I didn't see the work place requirement. My apoligies. You would not want to live where I previously recommended. I agree with the others, stay in the Southpark area.
