I've lived in Charlotte too and have worked uptown for 20 + years. There is good and bad about all of it...just some areas definitely nicer than others.

If/when you're in the area let me know if I can help out with anything. I don't know alot about any one thing but I know a little about alot of things.

There isn't much activity on that site but some good info can be had.

Another forum with more activity is www.ncsportbikes.com . It has a Charlotte section as well.

While we're talking.. Anyone have any opinions on Pineville?

z06boy · 07-21-2009, 09:33 AM

Quite a bit of traffic with 485/51/521 and 77 plus Mecklenburg County taxes.

Above average crime compared to the NC average according to this list.
This could be due to the small size of Pineville though.

However Pineville seems to be a decent little place overall...very convenient to shopping and easy access to Charlotte but rush hour can be a b!tch.

Traffic in and out of Pineville sucks in my opinion.

I stopped in Pineville because one of my daughters is a figure skater and there is a rink not far from Myers Park in Pineville near a lot of shopping.

On a Sunday mid-morning there were a lot of cars cruising around.

Thanks for the offer, I may have to take you up on it.

Do you live on the lake? Into boating? I know a lot of folks have boats up there--that is one expensive hobby!

I was on the lake when I was single and lived in Davidson and also in Terrell but not now. It is expensive to live on the lake and since we wanted a bigger place we bought a home in Mooresville near the lake and also kept the townhouse that my wife owned in Cornelius before we got married...that we lease to another couple.

Yes we have a boat and keep it at a marina in dry storage. They just pick it up with a large forklift and sit it in the water...not as good as having it in the water at your own dock but still pretty cool.

Let me know when you have some time and are down this way...I know how it is to be in a new area.

Boats are definitely a lot of fun--but as you obviously know an expensive habit.

I appreciate it, it tough to move but it is better for me and my family if it works out. I may actually have a life in comparison to my current routines.

Even if I am heading South for work? I work in SC.

My house in Kannapolis is going to be up for sale soon(I hope.)

1 acre lot, 2340 square feet, 3 bedroom, 2 car garage, deck, playset, bonus room, 1/3 acre split-rail fenced in for the dogs. Extensive (and gorgeous if I may add

) landscaping in the front and back yard done entirely by me. Full vegetable garden in back complete with asparagus beds. Hardwoods throughout except for the bedrooms - tile in kitchen. House is under 10 years old. I can't give a price because we haven't gotten anywhere close to that point yet.. The houses are spaced where you can sit on the back deck naked if you want to!!

Only 15 houses in the neighborhood.

Anyway, just throwing it out there. I just started the process so am not ready to sell quite yet..
