QC: The Crown Jewel of the South

Tommy Lawing • October 9, 2020

We're #1, #6, #13 & #23!

I am a Native Charlottean (Cotswold Elem, McClintock Jr High, East Mecklenburg H.S.) so I may be prejudiced but I doubt it. Have you noticed how many national rankings are putting Charlotte at the top of their lists?

This week, Livability.com ranked Charlotte as No. 13 among the “Top 100 Best Places to Live in America.”

And, for 2020-21, U.S. News & World Reports ranked Charlotte at No. 6 among its 125 best metros in the U.S. to live in; #23 in Best Places to Retire and #1 in Best Places to Live in North Carolina.

And why not?

Nestled between the mountains and the beach, we have more than 60 city parks, 20 golf courses, 7 farmers’ market, 37 miles of greenway trails, more yoga classes and craft breweries than I can count plus the sixth-busiest international airport and all four seasons of the year. There is still old-fashioned southern charm with high-energy hustle, culinary sophistication and very manageable housing prices and living expenses.

I’m proud to call Charlotte home!
