why be so negative? myers park hs is a good school. the tax in mecklenburg is the cheapest ive ever lived in (vegas, chicago, chester co-pa, columbia,sc) too. dilworth may have a few gays, but it beats the hell out of wal-marts, rednecks, and trailer parks. there is also a really nice mix of transplants in dilworth/myers park and the property value in downtown charlotte is going up a solid 10% a year over 3% elsewhere. also, from uptown to concord is a solid 25 miles. it might be a 20 minute drive at midnight, but its easily 45 minutes to an hour commute on most days to uptown.
I'm not knocking where you live (ok, maybe I am a little), but don't take it personally. I like Charlotte a lot. I used to live in Charlotte. Now I enjoy visiting Charlotte. You just get a lot more house for your money in Caburrus County. But then again, real estate is all about location, location, location. If I weren't raising two little girls, I'd be downtown in a condo with a ginormous leather couch and the biggest plasma screen I could find. But schools are very important to me (as are my two girls).
And Dilworth is only a few blocks away from some pretty rough neighborhoods. I'll take rednecks and Trans Ams over crackheads any day.

I appreciate the insight I am getting. My wife and I are flying to Charlotte from Los Angeles in April to look at neighborhoods. - I think that regardless of where we decide to live in Charlotte, taxes, crime and traffic have to be better than what I have to deal with now!
Traffic is improving here with a lot of new road construction (the main corridors-I 85 and I 77 and also the outer loop- I 485). I'm sure its a lot better than what you're used to in LA.
Search carefully and take your time. Charlotte is a great city. There's lots to do and the people are friendly. Good luck. I hope you guys will call North Carolina "home".

youre nuts, terd. i think youre misinformed and angry that all those trans am drivers make fun of your lil jap car nothing personal. im just still in shock from my experience at quaker steak in concord ...never seen so many confederate flags, deer hunting camo, and people over 300 pounds in one place. :-P

The tax information is true. There's no misinformation there.
And hey, go to a redneck joint like Quaker Steak, and expect to see rednecks. Saying you're surprised to big fat rednecks at Quaker Steak is like saying you're surprised to rednecks at a NASCAR race.

I would recommend Cottingham Chalk as a realtor choice to find a great house in the Charlotte area. They specialize in higher end homes in older area's of Charlotte e.g. Myers Park. I could give you a few names and contacts if you'd like. I work with many of these realtors on a day to day basis.
Keep us posted on your plans.

I would love to meet up when I make it to town, but I have a busy couple days planned. My wife and I each have three interviews in two days and time scheduled with a realtor on the third day, then we fly back to California. Hopefully next time we can get together.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
