It's really a diffiicult decision and I'm sure you'll be happy in either area.
Personally I think pricing comes down to supply and demand. My 1/4 acre lot might be more expensive here in Huntersville than HC but it has the same livabilty value as any other area. The debate can be made with any areas, not just Huntersville vs Highland Creek. Just replace the names with any others and it's the same.
As an uncultured individual I'm not even sure what culture is but as long as there's a Home Depot and a Lowes near by then I'm happy. Give me some duct tape and super glue and I can build a bunch of stuff
My yard and my house is my canvas and I'm constantly involved with some type of improvement or project that hopefully increases our value but if it doesn't it still makes us happy. Nothing like some cut up tire planters to brighten up the yard
Malls are for looking at chicks because I can't afford socks at most of the stores there anyway although I could have spent about 5k at super Walmart in Mooresville last week, That place had the most awesome light up flamingos! You could end up with me as a neighbor if you're not careful.
Supposedly Bailey Road High is due to open for 2008 or 2009 and it's going to help with the crowding at both North Meck and Hopewell. I'd imagine that in a few years all the high schools in the area are going to be about equal.
If an area supplies you with what you need and at a price you can afford then go for it. You can still buy places in Highland, Huntersville, Concord, Cornelius for under 200k but you really need to look at the area you are buyig in and determine if it fits your needs.
My visions of buying a 180k house off the internet were crushed when I finally came down here and saw what a 180k house and area looked like. No offense to those that have them but it just didn't fit our dream house/area.
Where we ended up buying at had no resemblence at all to what we researched on the internet. In fact from info on the internet we ruled out the neighborhood we ended up buying in. Our realtor talked us into checking it out and we ended up buying here.
Find an area that you think you like. Go there, park your car and walk around. If you see someone washing their car, stop and chat, you find out more than you want and it'll help with your decision. Realtors are a good resource but because of the descrimination laws (is that right?), you have to listen to simple clues since they can't tell you exactly what you want to hear. It's really hard to follow realtor clues and that's what makes this forum so valuable.
Good luck in your search!
