You will have many options in that price range Answer a few more questions...Which is more important to you, a new construction home or bettter commute time? How soon do you think you might make the move?

South Charlotte is beautiful and convenient, and there should be houses in your price range -- you might want to stay inside 51 to minimize the traffic issues. I would be happy to set up an automatic property web search for you. (I relocated myself -- from NY -- I promise I won't talk sports ) Best of luck to you...

As long as you realize that nice big new home means you'll have a nice long commute

Hi, I just wanted to chime in on this thread. It caught my eye because I am also a Boston resident, thinking about moving to NC within the next year or two.

I love Boston, I just don't like the cost of living or the weather.

I am a single, 29 year old female.

Would you guys suggest the Charlotte area for me as well or Raleigh/Durham area.

From reading a few of the posts on this forum, Raleigh sounds more fast paced like what I'm used to.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I like Raleigh a lot.
But I don't really think of it as fast-paced.

You can't lose choosing between two great cities, IMO.

Hmm, if you love Boston, I'm not sure the cost of living or weather will be enough of push. Being single in Boston is pretty fun, lots to do, see, go, etc. However if you REALLY gotta get out and it's become a dread to wake up every day there (i.e., like it was for me), then I would say Charlotte. If I were single though, and totally my opinion, I would explore Northern VA or DC. Lots of stuff going on there, the weather is milder, but unfortunately housing cost is still high...

Cost of living in Nova/DC is MUCH higher than RAL or CLT.
