Yeah I definitely wouldn't mind living there. It looks like there is a lot going on.
In that case, I'd highly suggest the South End, Plaza Midwood, and Noda areas of Charlotte. Some parts of uptown would be in your price range as well if you (and your friends) avoid high rise rentals.
Then Wilmington is the only possible choice here. You can't afford to live in a decent neighborhood in Charlotte or Raleigh in that range of rent.
The cheapest apartments I can find around Avant Ferry in Raleigh that are still reasonable to live in are around $550 for one bedroom, $750 for two bedrooms. Not too far off the mark...
Don't teach in NC. Bad state for teachers. Go somewhere where they respect the profession.
No worries there. The OP can live in South End and commute 20 mins to a teaching job in Fort Mill.
