We plan on buying a house in the next few years. Currently we live in long island in New York. As much as we both LOVE New York, we realize its not always an affordable decision. What would be a good city / suberb to live near where we would see other New Yorkers maybe ? (Just throwing that out there) I hear rumors Charlotte has a lot of New Yorkers.
Charlotte does have a lot of New Yorkers, but it seems we often hear complaints and disappointment expressed by newcomers from Long Island. I have asked why this is quite a few times, but no one has ever given me an answer. "Just not what I thought it was" is the kind of reply I typically get. So keep that in mind and see if you can get feedback from others who live here and moved from LI, not just NY in general.
When I first moved here (before Meetup.com was around), a few women got together and started a "New Yorker Club." They'd arrange dinners at different restaurants. There were LOTS of members (easily grew to 100+). Once, I had everyone over at my house for a potluck dinner. Was fun.
Most of the members were from the NYC area. (I'm from western NY, which is like a different country from NYC.)
You might want to start your own NY Club -- or Meetup -- in Charlotte. There are so many NYers, you could further differentiate it: Young Former NY Couples Club... or whatever.
hey both me and my husband are young too 22 and 24 and we moved here to nc 3 months ago with our two kids from NYC queens, and must admit i kinda miss it!but how far can u go when ur paying such high rent when u live in a crappy place in nyc. You guys are making a smart decision you'll get so much more here. As for us we live in raleigh, and there is yound people here and in downtown raleigh, they got the clubs and lounges which i think u will find enjoyable. The good thing is raleigh is the capital of ny and if u want to go driving back to ny to visit it will be less time then driving or coming from charlotte. Anywayz good luck guys!

Just because an area has a lot of people from an area...doesn't make it LIKE that area.
Don't move anywhere expecting it to be the NYC.....it's going to be a city in North Carolina....and that is reality.
