Higher Income Areas in/around Charlotte, NC (Asheville, Nashville: neighborhood, zip codes)

[yogatherapy]

Hi,

I am looking to relocate to the Charlotte area. I offer Yoga Therapy, but am considering looking into offering Egoscue Therapy, as well. This is very costly (due to franchise/certification, etc. fees). To support this type of biz, I would need to be in an area where people have a good amount of disposable income and, preferably, are open to this Yoga and Alternative Therapies.

(To see what Egoscue is about, see Pain Relief, Back Pain Relief | Egoscue Inc.)

I know that in the Nashville market, one would do best with this type biz in Brentwood or Franklin (20 mins south of Nashville). It seems the Brentwood/Franklin crowd doesn't want to come to Nashville, but Nashvillians will drive to Brentwood/Franklin, so you'd get both populations. Does anyone know of a similar situation in Charlotte, or have any recommendations as to

Thanks

I would suggest a neighborhood like Dilworth where you could work out of your home. I see a yoga instructor in this area and she has converted her garage into a wonderful studio. You might also want to consider Ballantyne. The thing about Dilworth is it is right outside of downtown and surrounded by the most expensive zip codes in the state. (Eastover, Myers Park, Southpark)

Asheville, NC is a yoga Mecca

The southside from uptown all the way down to ballantyne commons road, inbetween monroe road and south boulovard is the wealthiest side of charlotte.

I wish there was an Egoscue Center here, but in all honesty, I doubt you will get what you are looking for here. PM me and I will explain.

I think that you should look and see where there is the highest concentration of pilatas classes in operation. That would give you some easy market research.
