Charlotte is the 19th largest city in the country and is thriving with a strong quality of life, a diverse, vibrant economy, and a very favorable climate. It has always been one of the "New South's" growing urban areas, evolving over the years from a regional textile center in North Carolina's piedmont to become the nation's second largest banking and financial center.

Charlotte is a blend of new and traditional, conservative and innovative. It's a dynamic city that combines world-class amenities with Southern hospitality.  There are more than 100 golf courses, 15,000 acres of parks and two major lakes to enjoy. Charlotte is a comfortable place to live, with a wide range of housing options, tree-lined neighborhoods, great Southern cuisine, excellent schools, and an exceptional environment for the whole family!
