Many folks have given you advice on where to find places to live; however, life in Charlotte without a car is not a fun thing. You should have money put aside to buy one as soon as possible after arriving. Unlike most of the midwest's major cities, our public transport in Charlotte leaves a lot to be desired.
As someone mentioned, a bus stops outside of the apartment. Buses may not be "fun", but they are transportation and the coverage in Mecklenburg is pretty good. Where did "midwest's major cities" enter into the scene?
Public transportation in Charlotte is mainly concentrated from the South of the town to the Uptown, so if you are living in a place around the South Park Mall, or Ballantyne, Pineville, etc etc, you would be able to take both the bus as well as the local train, however, if you are living around the Northern parts of the town, or around Concord, the public transportation is very limited.
Transportation in the northern part of Mecklenburg is pretty good. There are express buses that run in Huntersville, Cornelius, and Davidson to Charlotte hourly and village riders (cable car looking vehicles) provide transportation in each town. Express busses from these towns into Charlotte run at least hourly. I am not sure about Concord which is just east of Charlotte, but I have seen busses going out that way, so I suppose there there.
Hello:
I will be relocating to Charlotte and had just a few questions. I will not have transportation and will be starting a job at the new Sprint call center located at 2745 Whitehall Park Dr 28273, and will need to stay in an extended stay near the area and will need to take public transportation to and from the job. can anyone help me with the closes extended stay hotel/motel that has easy access to public transportation where I will be living and working? Just a note is there an apartment complex near this work area that is less than $600.00 a month for a one bedroom? Thanks for any help you can provide.
hi..i was google this address cause i also have applied to sprint...and i just was looking at extended stay hotels or apartments in the area i to is relocating there..could you give me a little info on how u made it since its been a year since you posted..what was your relocating process..thanks
It is workable to sustain a livable life if you choose the right location
I am pretty sure the transportation in Charlotte is a lot better than Raleigh. It runs longer(even on the weekends) and on Holidays and they have the Rail system. I am not from Charlotte and I believe I or anyone else can get around in Charlotte than most city. I am not talking about you SunnyKayak...the other posts
