Hi All,
I am thinking of moving to Charlotte, NC from Austin, TX, where I am currently based out of. Please advise me if this would be a good move. Specifically, I need to know whether the move will be beneficial to me in terms of the cost of living in Charlotte, school districts, weather, crime rate (Austin, TX has been very nice so fat) and housing. I am planning to buy a house.
Of course only you know the answer, since it all depends on personal preferences, job, family, etc.
Charlotte area has many great places and lots of transplants however, if required, finding a job could be tricky (depends on qualifications).
But first you might need to know for yourself, if all is good there, why do you want to move?
I can't think of any place I would rather be, if I was a young man, than Austin Tx. It has a ton going for it. Unless you are forced to make this move uhm....well it's your call.

I asked the magic eight ball your questions. The results aren't pretty.

My reply is no
I've included the link so you can go straight to the oracle with your questions instead of relying on a middle man...
You should come to visit first and check out our state. I am in here 19 years and like it a lot. if you need a help with buying property find me by using my first name.
I think you really would like to raise a family in Charlotte.
Having visited Austin I have to wonder, why on earth would you want to move to Charlotte?
Yeah, Im gonna have to co-sign with Diertac....Why on earth do you want to move from Austin to Charlotte? From what I hear, Austin is the hotspot. Booming economy and lot more jobs than Charlotte has to offer. Just sayin'

I've lived in both cities and have to say they have two totally different vibes. Austin is a cool city with the colorado river running through it. Austin is all about UT, or should I say that UT's influence is so strong that it gives the city its personality. The economy remains pretty strong and is nearly recession-proof as they learned their lesson from the 80s when the software companies crashed. Austin's motto is: "Keep Austin weird!" Believe me, it would get quite entertaining sometimes!
Charlotte, is a bit more cosmopolitan in its feel with its museums, sports teams and NASCAR. Besides those entities its culture is also shaped, in part, by the strong influence of the banking industry. The diversity in Charlotte is really nice and it is a beautiful city, but the economy, from what I read is struggling right now. However, I believe that will improve and the city will soon be humming again.
The choice then becomes, which city best fits the direction you are going in life. Both are wonderful in their own ways and have a lot to offer.
