Hello All,
I'm a Pre-nursing student in KY who will be graduating from Nursing school in May of 2011 (long time). I am planning of relocating to the Charlotte/Rock Hill area shortly after. I will be 25 by then and I was wondering if Rock Hill will be a nice place for my fiance and I.
Are they any spots for younger people, ,or will we have to drive to Charlotte for everything? Not just clubs, but malls, nice bars, movie theatres, etc.
Also we plan to be married before moving and wanted to know if Rock Hill was a nice place to start a family?
Thins in this area can and do change quickly. There are SOME spots for young people due to Winthrop University, but not many. RH has a nice theatre, a mediocre mall, and decent selection of local and chain restaurants. Fort Mill (the town between Rock Hill and Charlotte) also has a fair amount of restaurants now. For nightlife. yes, you pretty much have to go to Charlotte.
Thanks for the info...
Yeah thats what I sort of figured... that we would have to go to Charlotte for anything fun. I'm iffy about charlotte in regards to where I want my kids raised and also the expenses. South Charlotte may be more of a fit for us?!
I would go for the Fort Mill area. Its very close to Charlotte but still in SC so gas and cost of living is cheaper than Charlotte. Also, Charlotte Meck schools don't have a great reputation. Pineville is in South Charlotte and has a great mall, stores, restaurant, indoor ice rink, a fun center with putt putt and go carts, etc. Pineville is only about 10 mins from Fort Mill.

Does Fort Mill have a lot of young couples (Mid 20's)? I looked into Fort Mill and it seemed a little slow paced... Is this true? Also I want to be sure to live in a diverse area/ neighborhood, would we be able to find this in Fort Mill?

Hey KY nurse...you'd like our neighborhood. Lot's of younger folks, older folks, singles, etc. We're right on Lake Wylie and just outside of Rock Hill. We all tend to have a pretty good time...sometimes too good a time.

If you think Ft Mill is "sleepy" I think you will find RH ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I rent near RH and am glad I didnt buy here. Cost of living is better than NC but quality of life is a little dull. Ft Mill has some fun spots and Pineville does too. If you are looking for night life, Charlotte is where its at.
That said, you will like it down here I think. Nice friendly people and decent weather.

Really?!? I was thinking that Fort Mill would be more laid back than Rock Hill!! Thanks for clearing that up. Honestly I think I was going off the population comparison between the two. I think we will more likley rent in Rock Hill and then go from there...
