Considering a job in Pineville (Huntersville: home, safe area, live in)

[ssd3]

I am considering a job(3rd shift) in Pineville at the hospital. Is this a safe area? I am concerned since I will be working the third shift and do not want to be in an area with a lot of crime. Can anyone tell me about the area and would you feel comfortable working there during off hours.

I'd have no problem being there at all - nothing to worry about except the ride back up the interstate to get home (if you get off at 7 am you would be competing with all those folks trying to get uptown for work so you'd have traffic to deal with).

Thanks Loves, I didn't even think about the traffic

Totally fine area. As safe as any hospital in Mecklenburg...maybe except Presbyterian Huntersville.

Would you have to get on I-485 to I-77 North by chance...it probably will be dead stop by the time you got off work.

I would be going from 485 to 85 west(?) I live in the Denver area.

You will be fine...especially once you get past I-77 on I-485.

Going to Denver...wouldn't you take I-485 to exit #16 (Highway 16/Brookshire Blvd) and go left (North) to Denver?

You are probably correct about the directions. I have a terrible sense of direction that is why my in laws bought me a GPS unit.
