Charlotte doesn't feel like Charlotte anymore. It use to be a laid back city with very friendly people. Now, it's aggressive in almost every aspect. Still better than most cities though, but I do miss the charm that it use to have.
Damn New Yorkers
Charlotte was like a small damn TOWN 5 years ago dawg compared to what it is now!! !
@@abrahamschwartz5964 not true. Charlotte has had over 700,000 people for at least 10 years
I just moved here from Greensboro. This place has money and thats it. Greensboro is broke but at least we acted like we were southern.
Your content is truly informative! I'm impressed with the valuable insights you share. Keep up the excellent work, and I'm eager to see more engaging content from you❤❤
Considering moving out of Texas (Houston/Cypress) due to this weather. The winter freeze and now the recent tornado was too much. 😅 Fortunately, we don’t have to change jobs since we work remotely. I’m used to living in the suburbs, but definitely want to live in an area that has all your basic shopping, dinning, entertainment needs, and maybe 30-40 mins from downtown for other events.
Bad weather can happen anywhere now.
i stay in vegas but i did used to live in houston (North houston) i know about cypress katy area it’s nice over there but like you said the weather the floods and traffic is horrible
It's not that people in Charlotte can't drive. I hate to say it but there are rude drivers on the road who want to pass everyone else on the road without signaling or on the phone. But other cities I'm sure can say the same.
It’s those Pesky New York/Philadelphia people.
And great video specially on the description and the details
Wow , I’m from Buffalo too now in the DMV since 95. I I see you made the move. Loved your Blo videos. Considering Charlotte area from Maryland.
I LOVE IT HERE! My husband and I move see here about 6 months ago and absolutely love it! My cousin and her husband sold their homes, yes homes and moved here a year ago. Im a realtor, loan signing agent and notary in the process of transferring licenses... 🎉🎉🎉🎉
i like your energy and it was very informative
Thank you very much
I’m a realtor from Tennessee moving to Charlotte next week on Wednesday. I’m super excited!!!! Moving to the uptown area!!!!! Coming from Nashville!
Nice video, Devonte! You have great passion and seem like a good dude and a great realtor! Hopefully I can look more into getting more information and planning a move to Charlotte. Thanks for the list and your perspectives. I'm coming from Wisconsin, so I don't care about any snow or such. It'd be the bugs and crazy drivers for me that I'd be turned off by, but we have nutty drivers here in Milwaukee so I know about people speeding down residential streets like it's a Nascar race.
Good information, thanks for the video
Glad it was helpful!
❤ this video, thanks bro
Only reason I will move to Charlotte North Carolina in the future is cause of a girl I know that lives there name Melanie call me a simp but idc ya boy in love lmfao
Do your thing bro ✌️
I Love LOVE 💕
@@vaslim80 false alarm she is just a liar who just ghosts me and lied about everything lies about not having Snapchat lied about not removing me off the apps and she always says sorry and it’s fucked how I kept expressing my feelings to her and all she did was spat on it and just continue to do the shit she was “sorry” about which was ghost me
@@nusuralove4407 lol I hate love she just was playing me
@@vaslim80 didn’t work out all she did was lied and ghosted me she lied about removing me off apps lied about not having Snapchat I expressed my feelings so much to her for her to continue to ghost and be active on other apps is fucked up so respectfully fuck her and she lucky I’m even saying this as respectful as I can cause she deserves more shit that I gotta say I just chased and spam cause yeah I really wanted this and showed I wanted this but she never did I was just a damn idiot a fool
I’m from Buffalo also! Just visited the Carolinas and were talking about retiring in Charlotte!
You’re a natural behind the camera. You deserve 100k plus subs, amazing content brotha and very informative
Most appreciated my man!
I wouldn't mind relocating to Charlotte, NC. I'm currently in Dallas,TX. and I'm looking for new energy way too many people are moving into Dallas, cost of living is going through the roof
Charlotte is the same.
@cgriffin74 I’m in Dallas too and looking to move to NC
@@angelaljavenue0714
As the other person stated. Charlotte is the exact same as Dallas, TX everyone moving from high COL places have ran the cost up and the roads here are worst then in Texas.
I'm going to be moving there soon and will need a guide. Def reaching out!
Hey let me know, we would love to help
Help me too! Lol
Im from Buffalo and im looking to move to Charlotte too😭💯
Good day nice to see you , use to watch you in Buffalo. Now in Charlotte where I’m looking into . Hopefully hopefully to get to work with you.
Keep up the good work.
I hope so too! And thank you !!
Very helpful.
Glad you think so!
I'm enjoying your video very much but I just heard you say about the young population and I'm hoping to be among other vibrant active retirees.
I am thinking and planning on moving to North Carolina which part of the city has the most jobs and is the most affordable to rent in
Im from Rochester, considering moving to NC in the next few years
I used to live there with friends and I miss it all the time
Man i want to move there, but them housing prices is through the roof. Truthfully buying is getting crazy everywhere
Yes home prices are high everywhere,
But they are looking to cut rates so keep preparing yourself
If you have money and dont need a job then its good to move there. If you dont already have a good job lined up there then its no bueno. Its hard for brothers and sisters to get a proper decent paying job in Charlotte.
I lived in Charlotte in the 90s. As a young person with an associate degree with no contacts, it was not working. There were jobs, but nothing paid the bills like in other cities in the midwest and coast.
When you say “brothers and sisters,” do you mean everybody?
@@travelingdude1621 I"m not sure if the situation is true for everybody. During the time I lived in Charlotte there was an obvious effort to keep people who looked like me out of the job market. At the time I had two degrees and a decent amount of work experience at top companies in my field, but I was never able to get a job in Charlotte. It was the same story for people that I met who look like me. I eventually moved up North to the New England area after I got a job offer there. Overall, Charlotte is a nice city but proper employment for " minorities" did not exist when I lived there.
@@soccersprintyup I left charlotte to join the military. The job market wasn’t plentiful.
Please don't ignore this.
I am thinking about moving to Charlotte. This video was so thorough. If they speed all the time, I may need to rethink this. This sounds like how they drive in Atlanta.
honestly its something to get adjusted to, i think you will be fine once you get the hang of the style of driving
You’re not from Charlotte, NC so you thunk it’s great. It’s truly not anymore. It’s entirely too many people that’s moved to the area and don’t see a bond they don’t want to vote on.
The COL is higher then people think it will be and they often state how it was better where their from.
Please preach because people who are not well-versed in Charlotte and the Charlotte culture make these videos and I’m like please stop. People like coming here because it seems trendy
compared to alot of major cities N.C is not expensive but i get it i can say the samething about Vegas this is my 3rd time living here in vegas and let me tell you after Covid everything went up in price yet people are still moving jets and idk why!
video starts @2:34
Born and raised here. Charlotte today has become a cluster (add your own expletive). I love that it's growing and am excited about where it's going. I think some of the biggest problems, which are already well realized include: poor infrastructure, too many people moving at once for the existing infrastructure and poor infrastructure. Yep, I said it twice because the infrastructure sucks. We need more than a planned light rail by 2050. The city is going to explode by then, and the roads can't keep up.
Definitely them roads need to be fixed!!
The light rail is such a waste, they need to expand it to help out 77 and 85 or just scrap it. It goes in a straight line, only people it benefits are UNCC students and people that live uptown when Charlotte is way bigger than that.
Hi there: Love your content! Is Stateville, NC a nice place to live? Thinking about buying a Lennar home in Bell Farm community.
Let us know we can easily jump on a call this week !
Statesville is a lot slower but you do have convenience in a small town. You’d be nearby Mooresville and Lake Norman which is a nice slower suburban area and also other rural areas.
The introvert side of me is saying NOOOO! There’s to many people living in Charlotte, but the other side of me is saying, well there’s so many activities you can do and get out of your comfort zone and make friends😅. Sooo,,, well any other cities that has activities, and places to go and eat, things to see. I think Charlotte is to hyped up.
I lived there and I’m introverted and Charlotte is boring
@@brittneys8333I’ve been to Charlotte several times…..Charlotte seems to be fun for a weekend getaway but I kinda get the sense it’s kinda lame if you lived there 24/7.
It’s absolutely everything you’ve all said!
@@rwall3450Yes it's lame...stay away.
It is!! I used to be the same way, super hyped about it but after almost a decade being here the word is OVERRATED lol. You go to have a weekend good time and go home lol
Banking has SLOWEDDD I know first hand. Charlotte does hold some major banks but it’s not certain you would get in the door at this current moment. Charlotte is a eh “large” city but still not big enough to comfortably accommodate the growth at this time. Charlotte is developing and may catch up but uptown is what moves people to relocate but know the whole city does NOT look like or function like uptown. Don’t expect a mini NY Vibe bc it’s still a southern city and unless it’s nightlife a lot of places close early. Still a decent city but you have to know what to expect across the board.The salary gap for living is a little off because the pay could be higher for what they are now charging and Charlotte is in a bit of an affordable housing crisis. Traffic is insane and the accident rate is so annoyingly high you must be aware because people drive way too fast and they don’t pay attention. summertime is peak season for street takeovers (which have already begun) this is from uptown to your local suburbs and the police do nothing about it.
Sounds like Toronto. Nothing about the traffic scares me anymore.
Shit is annoying next place I move I don’t want all the ruckus next to me
They ruined WT Harris and North Tryon with the light rail. Increase in panhandling. So bad that Panera Bread is drive thru only! The he bathroom at Dunkin Donuts the bathroom has a padlock! Homeless people asking for money near IKEA, Marshals! South Charlotte is the safest area! Providence, South Park, Ballantyne. Waverly. Trendy area NoDA, plaza midwood, Dilworth- parking is so annoying. North lake mall is the new hood mall ( Eadtland Mall). outside of the queen city - Harrisburg, indian Trail, Waxhaw( areas are family friendly)!
SPOT ONNN!!! Charlotte is the hood they get sold by uptown because it’s trendy lol. I hate the traffic here and if you’re looking for great schools Mecklenburg county has some of the worst schools and learning conditions and they can’t retain teachers. One of the negatives when it comes to moved here and had to truly SEARCH to find schools that had space for my kids grade
Charlotte is a nice city and its developing.
I would say before moving do your research on the city that you want to move too. What works for one person might not work for you, everyone life is different with a different background.
Almost thought this was a video about Atlanta 😂
this man likes his job
Thanks for your video. I was thinking of moving to Charlotte because I have a lot of family there. I am from Buffalo, NY I have been in Atlanta, GA since 1995. I am looking to sale my home and move somewhere much safer. Atlanta has exploded into the murder capital of the United States. I really do not like Charlotte and never thought I would even think of moving there but hey you never know. Maryland is my first choice.
Atlanta is definitely not the murder capital of the U.S. 😂…sure there has been a surge in crime in the past 10-15 years due to a multitude of factors, but regardless there is crime everywhere. Charlotte is safer than Atlanta but you’re much better off in Atlanta than cities like Philly, Detroit, Chicago, DC, NYC, Newark, Baltimore, St. Louis etc.
I moved down here 20 years ago. 485 wasn't even a full loop. I moved across the border out to a small SC town about 40 minutes away 8 years ago. I still work in Charlotte but honestly, I could never live there again.
As for the mosquitoes, put up a bat house. We have 2 bats that fly around our yard at night and there are never mosquitoes around. I can be outside day or night (and I live in the woods) with no mosquitoes.
Charlotte is best city in America
Amen!! 🙌
Austin TX
@@watsonanthony8438Austin it's not diverse enough than Charlotte
@@jarvisstradford7211 says who. I lived there. It’s has one of the largest schools and tech companies and it’s near Mexico, Louisiana lol. And one of the fastest growing cities in the nation
@@watsonanthony8438 still not diverse enough
113 people to move to Charlotte daily but 89 move away from Charlotte daily too 🤔
Sure doesn't feel like it...
@@sugarwaterpurple5280congested I stay in the house bc of it
How u liking charlotte compared to buffalo
Charlotte ain't the same I give it 5 yrs or more it's going to be like Atlanta
I lived in Charlotte years ago. I graduated from UNCC. It’s ok but I live in Cary NC which is better in my opinion.
Most of us in the triangle area absolutely avoid Cary like the plague !
I’ve seen soooo many people promoting all of these areas for people to move in, like sweet Burlington. That place for sure isn’t large enough for an influx of residents and may lose its charm if it does.
@@exquisite921ma'am I see you in these comments and honestly you just mad bc folks moving here. Worry about yourself
Don’t come down hea thinking shit sweet
Is it possible to buy new construction without dealing with. HOA in Charlotte????
The HOAs are really not bad here, ive seen places alot worse. but most do have some tye of HOA, even if its taking care of the front entrance or retention ponds
Affordable for those who leaving California, but from Ohio lol
They making it the next Atlanta and major city which is going to become oversaturated and gotta exodus somewhere else damn sit still
@@user-fg2er3kk3k I was thinking of moving there once I finish school for tech so I shouldn’t?
Already is
@@Eternal252
It’s over sold so visit. Bug you’ll change your mind more than likely about moving it’s already over crowded and getting worse.
It’s AMAZING how those of us who live here express the same grievances it’s too congested, these”why you should move to Charlotte” vids bug me so baddd 😂😂
Been here for 3 years from California ..the answer is no, just NO! I’m moving to Houston next month…
Do you mind elaborating?
@@jadexplores2100 very small city…you can do Charlotte in 6months…no defined culture…the amount of transplants overwhelms the natives & the natives are ehhh…they are tearing down to bring the new because they cannot expand…Charlotte has no ⚡️
Why is no defined culture a bad thing? Diversity is a good thing.
@@user-cr5ts5fl6t says you…other people think differently
@@user-cr5ts5fl6t
Not at all costs no it’s not. Because of that it’s got NO culture!
Anywhere is better than Cali right now. Its a warzone over here.
Eh Cali is a large state that is over saturated with overpriced homes & such. There’s cities in the U.S. that are worse than all the cities in Cali, except Oakland. Oakland’s up there lol
It's nothing like the Q.C. Wouldn't trade it for nothing. Since 1989 baby.
Can too much do North Carolina more of a South Carolina person
South Carolina is pretty sweet! Greenville and Spartanburg are decent! I believe the cost of living is a little cheaper. Would love to visit again soon a nice break from the hustle and bustle
Oh you’re fine fine 😮
Thank you
@@CharlotteLiving2.0be careful on who you reply to brother 😂
Forgot..crime. Rude people. Thousands of illegal immigrants.
The schools are not that good.
Not worth it.
i ❤ the common sence and ❤ed a chick from there with a longer nose than the secret😊
Charlotte is a city that can’t keep up with its own growth.
I was born there. Youre a cutie!❤❤❤❤❤ Lol!
Please stop moving to Charlotte!!
Charlotte is boring
Are you talking about recreational wise?
I like it for now ❤
