I am a 25yr old single mother and I am looking for a good area to move in North Carolina. I am trying to stay away from Charlotte, Fayetteville and cities near the coast. What is a good area to move in? I was looking at Lumberton ( sorry didn't spell it right) but I read that it was in the middle of nowhere?. Need help, looking to move in October/ November. Thank you.
Lumberton is in the middle of nowhere,And also theres not really any jobs there at all...Its a poor rural area of NC and also pretty high in crimes as well...Thats where Michael Jordan's dad was found killed at....I'd look into maybe the Mooresville/Huntersville area...Depending on what your budget is and what you're looking for exactly...Both areas are good and close enough to Charlotte without being actually in Charlotte
I apologize for not providing all the information. My brother will be coming to North Carolina in May, he is in the military and is currently stationed in Germany, so when he come back he will be at Fort Braggs. I have heard from several different ppl that Fayetteville is getting bad as far as the crime. I have two jobs now, one as a youth worker in a social service setting and the other at a daycare. I am not planning on moving until February. So i have time to save a research and try to find a job, I can transfer locations with my daycare job, they have locations in Cary. That is where i was orginially looking. I am not looking for a "good area" just a livable area. Right now i live in a bad neighborhood but the street i live on is actually quiet nothing happens. So I dont want to be that far from Fayetteville, but I am open to moving there if I can find a right place. Thanks for responding
Thank you for clarifying. You have no idea how many "I am moving to NC but know nothing at all about it--tell me where I should live" threads we get here
Look at places in Harnett county like Angier, etc, which are partway between Cary and Fayetteville. Or Southern Wake County, like Fuquay-Varina (pronounced FEW-quay va REE-na) along 401. It's a very high-growth area, very suburban.
