Harrisburg is a GREAT town. Has a small town feel, with all the conveniences of being minutes from Uptown Charlotte. I'm sure you'll be thrilled to live there!

Honestly, after moving here from the traffic hell of Chicago, I tend to completely forget that some people want a commute shorter than 20 min or so (and that such a commute is even possible).
It really depends on what part of Harrisburg & what part of Kannapolis. I live in Kannapolis and get to UNCC in 20 min door to door, so I'd imagine it would be about the same or slightly less for most parts, but you would want to stay near I85 in Kannapolis. I think if you lived on the other side of the Research Campus is when your commute would edge toward 30 min.
If the OP is going for "closer is better" than Harrisburg is a great choice... if you find you don't mind a little extra commute or that your budget isn't going far enough there your money may go a little bit further in Kannapolis.
