We are both single women in our 20's & 40's & we also have 3 beautiful cats who will be coming with us so finding a good vet is important as well.
Advice for a good community college in the area will be helpful too because I would like to go back to school in the spring. We are completely new to this area but not new to the city life so what are some neighborhoods we need to avoid by any means necessary? Coming from charlotte safety & convience is very very important. We will be touring the city next week. If you know any businesses that help with finding an apartment, please let us know by replying to this thread or by PM.
Thank you so much for reading.

First, I'd ask where your mom's new job is? Really, the only area to absolutely avoid is north Columbia, anywhere else you can find a safe area to live in.
If her job is downtown, then you may want to look at SE Cola, as that would put you close to the main community college in the area - Midlands Tech - which is on Beltline Blvd. in the Rosewood area.
And as for the vet, we have used Dr. Griffin on Barnwell just east of downtown and have been very pleased w/the service there thus far, although we have dogs and no cats.
Hope that helps a little.
