I guess I'm trying to find my ideal city to buy a home in. I would like something within 30 minutes to a major airport. Such as Charlotte or Raleigh.
I want an upscale, affluent area that is bordered by other nice areas. ( I don't want to drive out of my town and directly into a bad area.)
It would be nice to have some acreage but not required. Nice restaurants, shopping and cultural attractions. I want nice landscaped properties and well kept homes. I don't want to see campers or RV's in front of homes or along side of it.
Does any area exist or am I living in a dream world?

Appreciate your feedback as always.

Weddington, Waxhaw or Marvin just over the Charlotte border into Union County - exactly what you described above
McGregor Downs or Preston area in Cary. The Brier Creek Area in Raleigh as well as Durant/Strickland Roads in Raleigh and of course Wake Field in Raleigh and Olde Raleigh.
Am I the only one here who think this thread sounds a bit elitist??
I mean, in gist, it basically says "where can I live where I'm surrounded only by other wealthy people and I never have to be reminded that there are people in this world who aren't wealthy".
In the Charlotte area, if you want some elbow room try Weddington/Marvin areas (not much freeway access into Charlotte, though). If elbow room is not an issue, try Ballintyne, Lake Norman, or South Park.

Yes, you are probably the only one who thinks that.

Reason: spelled word incorrectly
RaleighRob,
I thought that too. After reading the original post, I was expecting different responses.
