Bumping up my old thread to say that now my move to Charlotte is a reality. I won't have to move until May and won't be able to make another in-person trip until at least February.
My budget would be up to $125k depending on if the property has a monthly HOA fee or not.
My two questions at this point would be...
-Which areas should I be looking at (location of the job is still the same: not too far from the airport Tyvola Rd/Billy Graham Pkwy)?
-What are the best websites to search for houses as well as apartments? I know it can vary by city.
Thanks!
Look into condos at Rennaissance on Carmel or at Falconbridge. They'll be well within your budget and are very convenient to Ballantyne and SouthPark. You may be able to eke out a single family home in those immediate neighborhoods too, but it'll be a fixer-upper. You will probably find things closer to the airport, but these are safe, pretty close, and they're what I know. It's not my favorite for home buying, but if you are looking for things for rent and for sale, then I'd suggest carolinahome.com.

I used realtor. com & yahoo real estate.
Look, primarily in Gaston County. Avoid the NW corner of Gastonia. Ask us plenty of questions. Your search might bring up Kings Mountain as it is in both Gaston & Cleveland counties.
Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll concentrate for now on 28226 and 28277 zip codes.
You won't find a house in the 28277 zip code but there are townhouses and condos in your price range. For best resale values, try to get a 2 bedroom minimum. Most schools in this zip are good.
There are 5 homes for sale in your price range in 28226, but check the schools if you are concerned with resale. It's hit or miss in that zip.
Realtor.com when you look at the home there is a tab for schools/neighborhood and it shows the schools the the home is zoned for, it also gives the grade and has a link for information on the school.

Those aren't accurate. I had issues with them when I was searching for homes. I would depend on the GIS link provided upthread to be sure of the right school.

Thanks, I thought their links to greatschools was solid. I will take a look at the link provided earlier.
