Welcome to airline "We will call you as soon as you leave your house " lol We live on the eastern side of Gastonia and drive time to airport employee parking is 20min. I take Hwy 74 and rarely get delayed. I85 is a few minutes quicker, but congested during rush hour. Not familiar with local apt. prices, but I would look from Redbud drive back towards Belmont. Plenty of shopping and dining choices and still only 30min. to uptown.
Colonial Grand at Ayrsley (near Steele Creek) starts around $750 for a 1 br and about $1000 for a 2 br. Again, for those willing to room together that may be an option (as I believe some of the utilities are included - I could be wrong). We have a house in that neighborhood and can be at CLT in 20 minutes. We used to travel a lot for work, so that factored in to our initial choice for a location. You can hop on the 485 inner loop without getting on 77, so the commute is generally not affected by the morning rush.
There are also several townhomes for rent in that area - again, for those willing to room together for a while, that could also be a viable option.
I will look into this and pass the info on. Thank you
I used to live in Steele Creek and I worked in the area near Beam Rd. and Yorkmont -- not quite as far as traveling to CLT, but same general direction. Traffic was seldom a problem, I used to make it in as little as 15 minutes, sometimes 25 - 30. (Hint: Hwy 160, Steele Creek Rd. is usually less busy than South Tryon).
As for rents, apartments along South Tryon near Steele Creek Rd. might run a bit more than you want to pay, but if you go for a 12 month lease you can get pretty close. HTH.
Isn't callout 1:30? Why not live further out? Lower prices and better areas. Lots of airline folks live in Rock Hill due to taxes. Once you are a block holder you can bid early or late shows to avoid traffic.

If this merger doesn't go through I'll be looking at being on reserve for about 10-15 yrs. I'm open to living further out. I was on 77 on a Saturday afternoon and the traffic heading north from SC was backed up. My only concern about 77 is getting called out during morning rush hour. SC is an option. I have a few places on my short list

All input will be greatly appreciated. There are many new flight attendants that are moving to the Charlotte area. We need some assistance with finding decent/safe apts, rental homes/condos etc. Some of us are already here and some are still in training. We usually do not know where we will be based at until about a week before graduation. Then we only have 5 settling days to get moved. Unfortunately many have jumped at the first place offered to them. Please help
The group of us that are looking now are seeking a one bedroom, a two bdrm Is ok if it fits the budget. All of us are moving from out of state, everybody is trying to set up a home here. We all have cars, so being down the street & around the corner from the airport is not necessary. We are willing to drive further out to be safe. Nobody has any school aged children, therefore schools are not a concern.
We're all new hires, therefore our budget is not the greatest. $500-$625, $650 is probably the max. I'm currently in Charlotte, but I'm looking outside, towards Gastonia, Belmont, Mt. Holly, Lake Wylie etc. I know Fort Mill & Rock Hill are decent, but I'm concerned about traffic on I-77 N on the days that I get called in and have 90 minutes to report to the airport (morning rush hour)
Does anybody know anything good/bad about Davis Crossing Townhomes/Apts in Gastonia? Or Hamilton's Bay Condos in Lake Wylie? I heard the water bill can be very high. I thank you all in advance. Any info I receive I can pass on to everybody else.
Iam sure alot of people have rooms to rent or affordable housing , I am looking to rent to room to Flight attendants and/or contractors , check craigslist and do your homework .
Check Craigslist , and make sure to check all places before you rent
