More Info?? (Charlotte, Raleigh, Concord: new home, construction, to live in)

[ripath]

I also posted this on the Charlotte forum.......inadvertantly.

My wife and I spent a week in Raleigh last month, liked it quite a bit. We are still researching though.

I ran a "generic" job search for construction, and I.T. (I do both) work in the following areas: Kannapolis, Raleigh, Knoxville TN and Charlotte. Using everything within 30 mi as a criteria, the results came back with a whole lot more opportunities around within 30 miles of Kannapolis (also high for Charlotte). It also seems that new homes in new communities are less in this area, with more choices for what we want.

Soooooooooooooo..............Can I get some input as to the area around Charlotte, Kannapolis, that whole part of the state? What's safe, clean etc? Any and all information would be appreciated. That would also include northern areas of SC.

Thanx

Lake Norman area exit 25. I bought up there, just came back a few days ago. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Can't wait to move. Not far from Kannapolis. Check out the shops at Birkdale FANTASTIC!! My husband is in the building industry too.

I should do tourist spots for Lake Norman. I love it. I made the screen saver in my laptop Lake Norman.

IT jobs are more in raleigh than in Charlotte. good Places near Charlotte to live in is Huntersville, Concord, Matthews and Waxhav (5 min from the SC border). Mooresville (Lake Norman) is some 30 min away from charlotte.

I will tell you when spking of IT jobs, those need to be defined, IT jobs in Raleigh are development, R&D, for someone more into network operations and mgmt - jobs can be found anywhere but these mgmt type appear to be more in charlotte..
