I currently live in Charlotte and have been here for 2 years. It is a very supportive community with a lot to tap into. As far as housing, it really depends on how much money you want to spend. Most apartments 2-3 bedroom are $700-$1200 but everything is reasonable and you will find more than you want. The north, university city are and south are know as the safest areas but Charlotte is just like any other big city with less crime. I don't use the public transportation system but know people that do and see them all the time. They are located in most areas and the city is working on a light rail system. There are plenty of money making opportunities as well.

Im considering a move there also. I got some feed back by posting similar questions on Craigslist.com for Charlotte. Rent seems to be higher than where I live in FL. It seems that you can purchase a home for much cheaper than what they are going for in my area. Go to http://www.carolinahome.com/ and look at the real estate market. They do have a light rail system or is scheduled to be built, not sure of the areas. There are different areas for different people, On craigslist charlotte, post what you are looking for and see what kind of responses you get. Good luck
