Also relocated from NY, but 10 years ago

We will better be able to help you if you let us know if you want to rent or buy, also what your price range is. Best of luck to you!

There are some solid choices, but it will depend on price and location. Where will you be working(ie how long of a commute can you live with) and what amenities are a must? I haved lived in Matthews for 8 years and am involved in local governance. Being a native of a large cities suburbs(Chicago), my young family and I are very happy with the suburban feel and town connectedness in Matthews. We can walk to the farmers market, movies in the park, etc.

Charlotte has a large land mass and you will discover that it is not a huge collection of suburbs like other metropolis'. The suburbs that are incorporated that you might research include Huntersville, Matthews, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, Concord, Cornelius, Davidson, Weddington and Waxhaw...just to name a few "towns". Other area's to look into include Ballantyne and Southpark. Do your homework on schools and find a good Realtor.

There are lots of good suburbs, but with today's gas prices you may want to find something close to work and we don't know where that is.

Check out Wesley Heights. Historic District with great views of Charlotte, and new construction that is not outrageously priced. The new Charlotte School of Law just moved there, so I expect the neighborhood to boom, especially as gas prices go up.
