But why move from one place (Mecklenburg County) where you're paying the highest real estate taxes in the state to another place where you'll pay higher real estate costs and, subsequently, higher real estate taxes? 

Meck is high, but not the highest % wise.

Anyway, schools, commute, restaurants, night life, safety, walking trails, dog parks, etc......

I used PODs when I moved back here from Miami in 2005. Loved it.

And Tega Cay is the place to be but we are full now so don't move here.

Meh... no kids, schools don't matter; 8-mile commute in 10 minutes; wife runs a private country club- best restaurant within 30 miles; night life isn't reason enough to move; safety... I go to work and leave doors and windows open; walking trails everywhere and the largest dog park in the state, possibly the largest on the east coast...

Sorry, just not a big fan. Charlotte is okay to visit on those occasions during the football season, but it's not my cup of tea. My wife has had opportunities to run a few of the country clubs down that way, but there were more reasons not to move there that $150k a year won't make up for at our ages.

But I get it- to each his own.

Just answering why folks would leave one spot for another....better schools, lifestyle, etc...I live in Wilmington, and don't plan on leaving, unless it's for the keys...don't have any interest in living in CLT either.

Agree with this post.  Union County always has the allure of low taxes but it is actually misleading.  Moved here from Meck (not just for the taxes but location) and within 6 months I was annexed.  Also there is some private sewage company that basically bends you over every month.

When Obama comes to Charlotte...  He chooses to stay in Ballantyne.

I seriously hope this is not among your reasons to move.

No

I already said my reasons...  I work in Ballantyne and my kids go to daycare in Ballantyne.  I basically do everything in Ballantyne except living there.

Worst area in Charlotte to live.

After 15 years in Ballantyne I just moved the fug out.  I'm in concord now and it's like small town living in comparison.

I hear the Sugar Creek area is lovely.  You could probably get in on the cheap.
