I did a search for places young black women can thrive Raleigh showed up. Decided I wanted to move to Raleigh, I ended up finding an apartment in Carrboro, not to far from Raleigh or Durham so I’m going to move there in Nov. I’m originally from NYC. I’m excited
Jenny lee Yea I can see how going from NYC to the CA desert would be a difficult adjustment. I’m sure there are other parts of CA you would love though.
me too! im from cali and have to live in LA and I absolutely hate it! things are just crap out here. me and my fam are building homes out there. I cant wait for it to be done!
We all need to get away from sin city. And go and build foundations where we can breath in piece. All the major cities down south are becoming over populated, Raleigh is a hidden gem but will experience growth as well.
Me too! I was born and raised in Cali, been here all my life and I'm also looking at North Carolina. Cali is too expensive and I'm tired of working 150% just to live lower middle class.
Im from NC and excited to see my home state grow, but for those who are considering moving here, please think about why states like NY, NJ and CA are so expensive and are experiencing a mass exodus. To put it frankly, democrats have ruined those states with their big gov't, high tax policies.
You are definitely a stellar representation of this beautiful city. I'm working on relocating to R-D in the next few weeks and I cannot wait. Love my home state of Jersey, but I'm ready for a change of scenery and fresh start. This video has really inspired me and solidified my thoughts on making this transition. Thanks so much!!
I’m a Jersey Girl. Daughter graduated Rutgers. Never dreamed I could be happy without the Jersey Shore and the great food! But I am! The Carolina soft air lifts your heart .
Am husband just accepted a job offer and Durham North Carolina restart June 10th that doesn't leave me much time to pack sell my house and try to find a place for us to live but God has his will and that's where he's letting us so I just put it all to him he would guide us and direct us when we get there God bless
My ex-husband is helping me and my kids find a place in Durham to move from S. Dakota. I am packing and moving in a few weeks as well! Can’t wait to be out of SD!!
Thank you for this educational video! Relocating from Alaska and hubby wants to move back to the south. I'm originally from NY so this seem like a good fit for everyone. New subbie!
Thank you so much for making this video... I'll be graduating with my Master's degree in a year and after that my best friend and I are moving ASAP from Seattle to wherever there is MORE SUN. Seattle is an incredible, beautiful, interesting city but I am telling you... week after week of gray, cloudy skies.. it's unbearable. We're outdoorsy too, love good food and beer, we're young and single.. I work in social services with the state of WA right now and Raleigh seems to check off everything we need.
Did you end up moving from Seattle? Iam from Seattle myself and looking to relocate to NC. I too work in Social Services and agree with everything you said about the scenery. It's beginning to get a bit depressing...
@@shanekabrown6625 that's such an unfair statement. Charlotte is a beautiful city with great jobs and growing rapidly. Crime is way below the national average
I moved to Charlotte from Maryland. Its ok here but, I wish I had of oved to Raleigh instead. The health care in Charlotte is the worse!! Extremely difficult to find employment too! I wish I had of picked Raleigh!
This video was amazing thank you! My husband and I are trying to decide on relocating as where we currently live is incredibly expensive and we want to be able to sufficiently provide for a family. Raleigh area is our number one! We will be visiting in a few weeks to see the area.
K. Nola Mokeyane Appreciate the love! You may want to consider setting up a visit sometime for like a weekend. I could easily have some people from my team show you around. Have a great weekend!
I currently live in Louisiana and I'm a Personal trainer who's tryna get out because it ain't really no opportunity here for a fitness professional because these Louisianians love gumbo, fried chicken 🍗, fried seafood 🍤, cheeseburgers 🍔, macaroni & cheese, fried pork 🐖🍖 chops and everything else that's fattening & unhealthy. My question is which NC city[Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, etc] is BETTER for a fitness professional as in providing the best opportunity to succeed?
I would say all. There are several universities in all three cities. There’s several large companies in all three cities. Don’t get me wrong we love to eat here too, but there’s definitely a health movement going on. Durham has the larger black population.
There is every kind of fitness and health program you can imagine here plus many world class lifestyle rehabs that have tremendous fitness cultures. You will be in the right place!
Steve- Thank you so much for the great video. My family and I are leaning strongly to the Raleigh area. My wife would love you to be scouting out our new home. Be well and stay blessed. Ken&Nita&Jaylen Niang-Baumbach
Sitting here thinking about leaving Baltimore as soon as the weather breaks and moving to Raleigh I won’t know a soul or have a thing but I’m sick of Baltimore
phoenixmoon3 It's ranked one of the safest cities in America. You can check out the list of accolades here www.raleighnc.gov/home/content/PubAffairs/Articles/AccoladesRaleigh.html
You really know the area. Thank you so much. I was laughing so hard when you said " if you plan to move in the next 8-12 weeks" I was like " oh does he have my moving in 8-12 weeks money? And a job lined up? HHAHAH but i really like your video.. Thank you so much for this.
I have lived in Raleigh since my late 20s. It us very family oriented , clean. Safe ,jobs great food, but boring. you have to have a close knit group and hang out. Not a lot of night life or attractions
Really good information. I'm from Iowa and have been trying to decide where to relocate. Had Charlotte on my mind, but I am going to start to research Raleigh. Thanks.
Thank you for this. I'm from Ohio. My husband is from Ga and right now, I'm so against moving back to Ga. It's oversaturated with out of towners and job market has plummeted. NC is my fave vacation spot and I fell in love with Kure beach. I will email you soon about rentals.
I hate Ohio and I hate North Carolina!! I am from Fayetteville, North Carolina and they are the meanest people this side of hell- I hate Ohio also! My children’s father is from Ohio and I moved there so that my 🧒 kids could be closer to their father! What a mistake!! Ohioans are very mean and hateful-! They do not like outsiders and they will tell you that-they don’t hold their 😛 tongues! Indiana is bad too-In fact the whole Midwest have the meanest people in the World 🌎!
I work in the healthcare field in wny and I am going to Raleigh for my bday with my resume in hand and I definitely plan on moving to the Raleigh area by the end of April
Thank you Steven for all these information! You have actually answered several questions that I had in my mind and I did not know anyone that could answer these questions. I currently have an offer on the table, and the company is giving me two options: Raleigh in NC, or Indianapolis in IN. Now, I am pretty sure that Raleigh will be my destination for this new opportunity. I currently live in San Francisco, and with all these information you provided, I have more elements to make a better decision. I have some other questions and was wondering if you have an email address that we can use to send you additional questions. Thanks again and keep up with the good job!!
My little family and I will be moving to the Raleigh area soon from Hawaii. I’ll miss home but I’m excited for new opportunities and a cheaper cost of living!!
I have traveled all over the USA. I believe Raleigh to be the most welcoming to new comers. When I’m ready to move back to the east coast Raleigh is where I’ll go!!!
I wish black Americans had my mentality. I for one am not looking for "diversity". I'm looking for affluent or middle class BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS. Is Raleigh like this? DC and Atlanta can't be the only places in the country that has what I'm looking for.
Hi, Shaun here. I am looking to move from NYC to the south. My mom was from Wilson, so I know a little about NC. I am looking for a warmer winter, I know the weather is the same. I am looking to either rent a house or a one bedroom. So I am also looking to move in September of 2018. The transition is hard because having to have a job, before, I need s car. Is NC a common wealth? All the best Shaun Campbell9 easy to find in UA-cam.
SHAUN CAMPBELL9 Hi Shaun! Appreciate you reaching out. No, NC isn’t a common wealth. However, as far as the job market is concerned here I think you’ll be impressed with the options. You’re right, it can be difficult to start in a new city but I think many people would agree when I say that Raleigh is an excellent place to begin anew. I don’t know what your job interest are but I would encourage you to start aggressively pursuing them here if you can. Good luck to you my friend!
I am seriously considering moving to Raleigh NC this summer. I currently live in Florida. I need a place to start looking when I come to explore after the holidays. Any good ideas?
I moved to Raleigh, NC back in 2001; when it was still nice. NOW, it’s crowded and starting to get expensive. And to top it off, people who move here from places like NY, PA, IL don’t come with the intent to acclimate, NO they bring all their rudeness and impatience.......so yeah, Raleigh used to be nice, but it is not the same place. I remember when I first moved here, people would say please, Thank You, Good Morning, etc.....NOW that’s slowly dwindling away. Anyways, Raleigh is fast becoming just like any other metropolitan city. Move to Raleigh, but don’t be surprised when you move here. It used to be the place to live, but no longer is that the case.
I'm from Boston , my fathers' family is from a small town called eureka . I have family members in Fremont , Goldsboro and Raleigh . I have wonderful memories as a child . I am semi retired as a chef . I'm seriously considering moving to NC . What can you tell me about those locations ? Thank you
My wife and I moved to Raleigh and lived there for 4 years. (2013-2017) We absolutely LOVED IT! ( lived in an awesome neighborhood called Hedingham ) Worked at NC State and Shaw University. it was great! Eventually, I got a job opportunity up North in Boston, MA and we decided to moved there for 2 years. We quickly realized that was a huge mistake! Boston was an AWFUL place to experience and live in. Just trash. We missed Raleigh DEAAARRLY. So much so, that we tried to move back, but I ended up getting a job here in Charlotte. Moved to Charlotte in January and actually LOVE it here too. But Raleigh is our NC "first love."
@@coreyj.7776 Visit both cities to get the frequency and vibe of each. Visit/walk around the downtown areas on the weekends. Vies some neighborhoods. Raleigh is a nice vibrant, progressive, diverse, growing town vibe, yet growing very quickly. It's definitely smaller than Charlotte. Charlotte gives you more of a metropolitan/cosmopolitan vibe...with surburban energy as well.
Planning to move to Raleigh from Chicago. Do you think I can buy a single family new construction home (3 beds, 2 bath) around Raleigh area within 300 K? Or is it not feasible with that budget?
I may just move to Raleigh. I lived in Atlanta, from Pa I want a new fresh change. I am in Financial Services with a Real Estate background. Sounds like a great match for me. You are hitting all of the areas of my interest and that relates to my business. thank you for this video.
Thanks for the video! I live in California and have considered relocating in the future and Raleigh is one place that a few people have reconnected. I have a colleague retiring in the next six months and she’s moving to chocowinity and she told me all about North Carolina about it’s cost of living, low tax rates, job market increases, and the weather is really nice, etc. I recently visited Seattle which I liked but definitely looking into North Carolina. I am planning a visit to Raleigh in the future to check it out. Can I email you/contact you if I have further questions?
There should be a disclaimer to this video: MUST BE RICH!! RDU area is very expensive and the salary is horrible. If you just have an "average paying job" you will not make it in the RDU area. You will definitely need to live outside of the area. The cost of living is not necessarily cheaper. I moved here from Jersey where I was making over $50k to Durham where I make $46k and I live in the RDU area and can barely afford my rent and all the extra bills here that I didn't have in Jersey.
I’m glad I found this.. it’s just that I’ve been looking for a job (admin role) for 2 months in Raleigh and I’ve found nothing. Im coming from New York.
Hi Steve. I am a new subscriber to your channel. I am looking to move to Raleigh to be closer to my family due to the recent death of my mother a few months ago. I am currently a property manager with 11 years experience in residential management for leasing and sales. I am looking to get RE licensed here in DC and/or NC. I have taken the 60hr course with Long and Foster and passed. Can you advise/assist me?
Honestly ive lived here for my whole life and there are ups and downs but any where u go in nc your gonna see alot of people on the street or walking like high point honestly a pretty bad place raliegh is better but i think most people should go for shore line places
Detroit is as bad as some say. But it's really cold in the winter. Middle Easterners have taken over all the store and eateries!! Gas stations. In the copy they sell very low quality items. The meat counters always smell like dead horse. Since so many folk lost their jobs and walked away from mortgages, starting in 2007... The beautiful two brick colonial and bungalow homes are gutted... Or rentals. Rent is ridiculously high. If you want to like near major shopping... You won't do it in the city. You will pay huge monthly payments to be near clearer areas and major shopping. It's so much!!
Do you help in matching persons with rent to own properties? I am from Ga ,but am looking to relocate to Raleigh if I can land a great job. Thank you for the informative video.
I'm a Chicagoan. I am contemplating to move to Durham NC for change and possibly for retirement in a couple of years. Also, I am looking for career opportunities in insurance brokerage firms before I retire.
I've been living in Durham, part of the Triangle... (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) for 3 years. I live with my wife in an apartment in Downtown, lease is not bad, around 1200 and I can commute on a daily basis to my work in RTP, I'm a Software Developer. Durham changed a lot, immigration was positive for the economy of the zone that it moved from being around the Tabaco to IT and Healthcare industries. Keep in mind that in terms of political views, the Triangle is very liberal while the rural areas around it are very conservative. This is changing more and more because even those who used to be very conservative are seeing the recent economic benefits and the continuous development of this area.
Trying to get out of NYC with my wife and daughter. I’ve been looking into NC and Texas. Most likely hopefully I’ll end up in NC. I’m still looking for a position in telecommunications in NC
I'm in IT and im really debating moving from NYC to Raleigh NC. Is there a list of bad parts of Raleigh NC I should avoid moving to ?? Thanks in Advance.
DARK STAR what's the job market there for HVAC tech and a NICU nurse? Thinking of moving to NC but the job market, housing and crime rate is few if the things that will shape my decision.
As a young(21 yr old) who currently doesn't have my AA or BA yet would you recommend the RDU area? I want to start anew (work full-time and get state residency, then attend community college and grind to get into university). I am highly interested in the field of business. Finance specifically(cost accounting).
My job is opening a new building in Durham. Thinking about transferring to the area to closer to my south Virginia family. Is it better to commute from Raleigh to Durham or just live in Durham?
Are you still in real estate? I need help. Stuck btwn Raleigh or Charlotte or being on the outskirts. I'm looking to move to the area in the next 8-12 months. I know where ever my job will be located will be a determining factor for where I'll live. However, I want to get a geographical idea of safe,nice, affordable ($900-$1200) complexes/townhomes. These are some cities that I've been told to consider: Apex, Gastonia, Concord, Cary (I dont think it would be a good fit), Chapel Hill, Gardner, and Winston-Salem. I want easy accessibility to shopping malls and restaurants. A dwntwn area with these things would be nice too. I dont want to drive outside the area for these amenities. Also, a strong black history presence as well as AA population (more than 15%) is important too. I want to be close to beauty supply stores and blacked owned businesses/restaurants. Basically, a urban city feel but not in the city? I guess? If this even exists. 🤦🏽♀️
Another great thing about Raleigh is that they hosted a Flat Earth Convention! Met really awesome NC folk too! I would move there from Canada, no problem!
They Lie About Everything We can definitely use a few more Canadians. Some of my good friends are from Canada. But it's a little warmer here in the winter😉
That’s nothing to be proud of... We know for a fact all the planets in our solar system are round....but you want people to think the earth isn’t round! So laughable!
Me and my sis are planning on relocating back to the South we're trying to find the right place she's a RN and I have my BA in business would you recommend this to someone like me..... As a RN my sis can pretty much move anywhere and find employment because of the demand, but its not that easy for me she's thinking about north Carolina and Texas but I don't know the business demand.... Do you know if it would be a great move for me, we are ready to leave the north, but trying to find something right for us both.
I'm having a massive headache now being here. I made a post 11 months ago as Romanov K. I'm still here. I need to leave there is no hope here. I cant find a break.

Carrboro??? Not exactly the place for singles. It's in the country
How did it go? I left NY and moved to Orlando but I'm thinking about moving to Raleigh next.

How long have you been there so far and do you still like it or has it gotten old yet?

Very informative. You have a nice speaking voice. Are you a preacher too?
Hi, Shaun here. I am looking to move from NYC to the south. My mom was from Wilson, so I know a little about NC. I am looking for a warmer winter, I know the weather is the same. I am looking to either rent a house or a one bedroom. So I am also looking to move in September of 2018. The transition is hard because having to have a job, before, I need s car. Is NC a common wealth? All the best Shaun Campbell9 easy to find in UA-cam.
SHAUN CAMPBELL9 Hi Shaun! Appreciate you reaching out. No, NC isn’t a common wealth. However, as far as the job market is concerned here I think you’ll be impressed with the options. You’re right, it can be difficult to start in a new city but I think many people would agree when I say that Raleigh is an excellent place to begin anew. I don’t know what your job interest are but I would encourage you to start aggressively pursuing them here if you can. Good luck to you my friend!
I’m from California looking for a New Beginning
I am seriously considering moving to Raleigh NC this summer. I currently live in Florida. I need a place to start looking when I come to explore after the holidays. Any good ideas?
Hello Cheryl! Shoot us an email with your criteria and we’ll be glad to help. steve@stevegunterteam.com.
I moved to Raleigh, NC back in 2001; when it was still nice. NOW, it’s crowded and starting to get expensive. And to top it off, people who move here from places like NY, PA, IL don’t come with the intent to acclimate, NO they bring all their rudeness and impatience.......so yeah, Raleigh used to be nice, but it is not the same place. I remember when I first moved here, people would say please, Thank You, Good Morning, etc.....NOW that’s slowly dwindling away. Anyways, Raleigh is fast becoming just like any other metropolitan city. Move to Raleigh, but don’t be surprised when you move here. It used to be the place to live, but no longer is that the case.
Summer Time America as a whole lacks hospitality... it’s called capitalism.
I'm from Boston , my fathers' family is from a small town called eureka . I have family members in Fremont , Goldsboro and Raleigh . I have wonderful memories as a child . I am semi retired as a chef . I'm seriously considering moving to NC . What can you tell me about those locations ? Thank you
Thank you for this great information.
I don’t know any one in North Carolina
My wife and I moved to Raleigh and lived there for 4 years. (2013-2017) We absolutely LOVED IT! ( lived in an awesome neighborhood called Hedingham ) Worked at NC State and Shaw University. it was great! Eventually, I got a job opportunity up North in Boston, MA and we decided to moved there for 2 years. We quickly realized that was a huge mistake! Boston was an AWFUL place to experience and live in. Just trash. We missed Raleigh DEAAARRLY. So much so, that we tried to move back, but I ended up getting a job here in Charlotte. Moved to Charlotte in January and actually LOVE it here too. But Raleigh is our NC "first love."
My wife and I are torn between the two cities. Any advice?
@@coreyj.7776 Visit both cities to get the frequency and vibe of each. Visit/walk around the downtown areas on the weekends. Vies some neighborhoods. Raleigh is a nice vibrant, progressive, diverse, growing town vibe, yet growing very quickly. It's definitely smaller than Charlotte. Charlotte gives you more of a metropolitan/cosmopolitan vibe...with surburban energy as well.
Planning to move to Raleigh from Chicago. Do you think I can buy a single family new construction home (3 beds, 2 bath) around Raleigh area within 300 K? Or is it not feasible with that budget?
Thanks for the video. I'm considering Raleigh. But I have a question... are you a preacher?
I may just move to Raleigh. I lived in Atlanta, from Pa I want a new fresh change. I am in Financial Services with a Real Estate background. Sounds like a great match for me. You are hitting all of the areas of my interest and that relates to my business. thank you for this video.
I'm on my way!
Did you go?
Thanks for the video! I live in California and have considered relocating in the future and Raleigh is one place that a few people have reconnected. I have a colleague retiring in the next six months and she’s moving to chocowinity and she told me all about North Carolina about it’s cost of living, low tax rates, job market increases, and the weather is really nice, etc. I recently visited Seattle which I liked but definitely looking into North Carolina. I am planning a visit to Raleigh in the future to check it out. Can I email you/contact you if I have further questions?
Hey Steve. Is there any way I can contact you? Have some questions about the area and need some advice.
I hope to be there in April!!
There should be a disclaimer to this video: MUST BE RICH!! RDU area is very expensive and the salary is horrible. If you just have an "average paying job" you will not make it in the RDU area. You will definitely need to live outside of the area. The cost of living is not necessarily cheaper. I moved here from Jersey where I was making over $50k to Durham where I make $46k and I live in the RDU area and can barely afford my rent and all the extra bills here that I didn't have in Jersey.
Because I'm a realtor; that's why
I’m glad I found this.. it’s just that I’ve been looking for a job (admin role) for 2 months in Raleigh and I’ve found nothing. Im coming from New York.
Did you end up moving to Raleigh? I'm looking now and have seen Admin jobs online.
Hi Steve. I am a new subscriber to your channel. I am looking to move to Raleigh to be closer to my family due to the recent death of my mother a few months ago. I am currently a property manager with 11 years experience in residential management for leasing and sales. I am looking to get RE licensed here in DC and/or NC. I have taken the 60hr course with Long and Foster and passed. Can you advise/assist me?
Is Raleigh good for single people , do they have a lot of clubs
There are clubs for 21-35 which are nice. Not much for older crowd. This is not a party town
Glenwood Ave baby!!! 😉
Honestly ive lived here for my whole life and there are ups and downs but any where u go in nc your gonna see alot of people on the street or walking like high point honestly a pretty bad place raliegh is better but i think most people should go for shore line places
INSANITY XL which areas of High Point are safe?
But shorelines, I worry about hurricane season!!!!
Detroit is as bad as some say. But it's really cold in the winter. Middle Easterners have taken over all the store and eateries!! Gas stations. In the copy they sell very low quality items. The meat counters always smell like dead horse. Since so many folk lost their jobs and walked away from mortgages, starting in 2007... The beautiful two brick colonial and bungalow homes are gutted... Or rentals. Rent is ridiculously high. If you want to like near major shopping... You won't do it in the city. You will pay huge monthly payments to be near clearer areas and major shopping. It's so much!!
INSANITY XL
FLOODING IS HAPPENING TOO MUCH, near OCEAN!
Watching this 4 years ago would have saved allot of $$$
What's up Raleigh,nc
Do you help in matching persons with rent to own properties? I am from Ga ,but am looking to relocate to Raleigh if I can land a great job. Thank you for the informative video.
Christy Hardy Hello Christy! We do but please email us your contact information so we can share more detail. steve@urhous.com
I'm a Chicagoan. I am contemplating to move to Durham NC for change and possibly for retirement in a couple of years. Also, I am looking for career opportunities in insurance brokerage firms before I retire.
Raliegh is on my top list for sure
Let’s make him Mayor!
I've been living in Durham, part of the Triangle... (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) for 3 years. I live with my wife in an apartment in Downtown, lease is not bad, around 1200 and I can commute on a daily basis to my work in RTP, I'm a Software Developer.
Durham changed a lot, immigration was positive for the economy of the zone that it moved from being around the Tabaco to IT and Healthcare industries.
Keep in mind that in terms of political views, the Triangle is very liberal while the rural areas around it are very conservative. This is changing more and more because even those who used to be very conservative are seeing the recent economic benefits and the continuous development of this area.
Good video my man👌🏿
New subscriber! 👍🏽👏🏽👋🏽✊🏾😊💚💃
Is it ok if i use your video as an intro to a song of mine?
I like your posts but all the movement and hand activity is distracting. I will still watch your posts! Thank you.
Would Raleigh or Virginia Beach (Norfolk) be better for IT System Specialist jobs? Also which has affordable real estate like under $250,000?
eman7188
Based on the criteria I asked about what city would you recommend? I thinking Houston or Phoenix. I’d love Florida.
eman7188
Do you know anything about any other states?
Trying to get out of NYC with my wife and daughter. I’ve been looking into NC and Texas. Most likely hopefully I’ll end up in NC. I’m still looking for a position in telecommunications in NC
FLEX_NYC did you move ?
It's not that exciting of a downtown though from the looks of it (on video) is it?
Lisa S it’s not that exciting. It’s just ok
Depends on what you call exciting
You are correct, no much to do there.
I want to move to Greensboro I visit and love it
Looking for a place in Raleigh as I type.
MiyBoyzNme Up North Did you find one? How affordable are the apartments there?
I'm in IT and im really debating moving from NYC to Raleigh NC.
Is there a list of bad parts of Raleigh NC I should avoid moving to ??
Thanks in Advance.
Also it is better to own a condo or a house or to rent?
On my way there for 10 days tonight. Looking for a home
Jeremiah Powe Good to hear. Give our office a call 919-817-8286.
Child's father n I have been looking at Raleigh from Baltimore for the quality of life, the parks, homeschool groups.
come down Raleigh is the place !
DARK STAR what's the job market there for HVAC tech and a NICU nurse? Thinking of moving to NC but the job market, housing and crime rate is few if the things that will shape my decision.
Everyone is looking to get the hell out of Baltimore Lol. Myself included.
As a young(21 yr old) who currently doesn't have my AA or BA yet would you recommend the RDU area? I want to start anew (work full-time and get state residency, then attend community college and grind to get into university). I am highly interested in the field of business. Finance specifically(cost accounting).
My job is opening a new building in Durham. Thinking about transferring to the area to closer to my south Virginia family. Is it better to commute from Raleigh to Durham or just live in Durham?
I’m talking about financial, safety and school systems wise. I have a 10 year old and I want her in the best situation possible.
Don't jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. This place is still in the 1950s .
It’s 50’s in the most charming way.
I'd much rather be in the 50s. Don't too much care for the fast paced life. Besides ya might see Aunt Bea on the porch! Hey ya'll!
Are you still in real estate? I need help. Stuck btwn Raleigh or Charlotte or being on the outskirts.
I'm looking to move to the area in the next 8-12 months. I know where ever my job will be located will be a determining factor for where I'll live. However, I want to get a geographical idea of safe,nice, affordable ($900-$1200) complexes/townhomes. These are some cities that I've been told to consider: Apex, Gastonia, Concord, Cary (I dont think it would be a good fit), Chapel Hill, Gardner, and Winston-Salem.
I want easy accessibility to shopping malls and restaurants. A dwntwn area with these things would be nice too. I dont want to drive outside the area for these amenities.
Also, a strong black history presence as well as AA population (more than 15%) is important too.
I want to be close to beauty supply stores and blacked owned businesses/restaurants.
Basically, a urban city feel but not in the city? I guess? If this even exists. 🤦🏽♀️
I was thinking about Raleigh or Charlotte NC.
This helps, thank you.
Just acxepted a job at UNC. Moving in August
Congrats. What type of work do you do?
I'm a midwife and my husband is an engineer. We are here as of 2 weeks ago.
@@ddo920 how are you liking it? I am looking into apply these for a pharmacy position hopefully.
I like it. Great place for kids. Not bad for married couples this far. The liquor laws are strict. I think it's going to be a better situation.
@@ddo920 awesome. I am single with no children, so I am curious how it will be for me. I hear the medical jobs are really good there.
Another great thing about Raleigh is that they hosted a Flat Earth Convention! Met really awesome NC folk too! I would move there from Canada, no problem!
They Lie About Everything We can definitely use a few more Canadians. Some of my good friends are from Canada. But it's a little warmer here in the winter😉
That’s nothing to be proud of...
We know for a fact all the planets in our solar system are round....but you want people to think the earth isn’t round!
So laughable!
Fall 2019
Me and my sis are planning on relocating back to the South we're trying to find the right place she's a RN and I have my BA in business would you recommend this to someone like me.....
As a RN my sis can pretty much move anywhere and find employment because of the demand, but its not that easy for me she's thinking about north Carolina and Texas but I don't know the business demand.... Do you know if it would be a great move for me, we are ready to leave the north, but trying to find something right for us both.
Is there a big French population in Raleigh?
Thinking about moving there. Can I email you?
Markeshea Porter sure can.....steve@urhous.com
Cary is the spot! 😇
I'm looking at cary and Raleigh
My version of this video would be “Why should you move to Maggie Valley NC”
Hi do you know of any places that need an onsite manager?
I'm having a massive headache now being here. I made a post 11 months ago as Romanov K. I'm still here. I need to leave there is no hope here. I cant find a break.
What's the problem for you?
What about insurance companies jobs?
This guy must be in real state!!
