I've really enjoyed this area and have lived in Huntersville...Davidson...Cornelius...Terrell and now Mooresville...all of which surround Lake Norman.

I've lived in Charlotte too and have worked uptown for 20 + years. There is good and bad about all of it...just some areas definitely nicer than others.

If/when you're in the area let me know if I can help out with anything. I don't know alot about any one thing but I know a little about alot of things. :lol:



There isn't much activity on that site but some good info can be had.

Another forum with more activity is www.ncsportbikes.com . It has a Charlotte section as well.

While we're talking.. Anyone have any opinions on Pineville?

Quite a bit of traffic with 485/51/521 and 77 plus Mecklenburg County taxes.

Above average crime compared to the NC average according to this list.
This could be due to the small size of Pineville though. :idk:

However Pineville seems to be a decent little place overall...very convenient to shopping and easy access to Charlotte but rush hour can be a b!tch.

Traffic in and out of Pineville sucks in my opinion.

I stopped in Pineville because one of my daughters is a figure skater and there is a rink not far from Myers Park in Pineville near a lot of shopping.

On a Sunday mid-morning there were a lot of cars cruising around.

Thanks for the offer, I may have to take you up on it.

Do you live on the lake? Into boating? I know a lot of folks have boats up there--that is one expensive hobby!

I was on the lake when I was single and lived in Davidson and also in Terrell but not now. It is expensive to live on the lake and since we wanted a bigger place we bought a home in Mooresville near the lake and also kept the townhouse that my wife owned in Cornelius before we got married...that we lease to another couple.

Yes we have a boat and keep it at a marina in dry storage. They just pick it up with a large forklift and sit it in the water...not as good as having it in the water at your own dock but still pretty cool. :lol:

Let me know when you have some time and are down this way...I know how it is to be in a new area. :cheers:

Boats are definitely a lot of fun--but as you obviously know an expensive habit.

I appreciate it, it tough to move but it is better for me and my family if it works out. I may actually have a life in comparison to my current routines.

I'll check out the site--thanks.

Even if I am heading South for work? I work in SC.

My house in Kannapolis is going to be up for sale soon(I hope.)

1 acre lot, 2340 square feet, 3 bedroom, 2 car garage, deck, playset, bonus room, 1/3 acre split-rail fenced in for the dogs. Extensive (and gorgeous if I may add :lol:) landscaping in the front and back yard done entirely by me. Full vegetable garden in back complete with asparagus beds. Hardwoods throughout except for the bedrooms - tile in kitchen. House is under 10 years old. I can't give a price because we haven't gotten anywhere close to that point yet.. The houses are spaced where you can sit on the back deck naked if you want to!! :lol: Only 15 houses in the neighborhood.

Anyway, just throwing it out there. I just started the process so am not ready to sell quite yet..
