Living In Charlotte, NC

When you visit Charlotte, North Carolina, you'll be immediately struck by its irresistible charm. The more you take in its obvious natural beauty and cultural diversity, your appreciation for this vibrant American city will only grow deeper. Charlotte is a city that sets the bar high in many ways. The most obvious area of growth is in economic development. The city has attracted and become the home base for approximately 325 Fortune 500 companies as well as 300 international firms. With that economic power, the city has also managed to grow as a result of the influx of workers who have not only moved here to be a part of this growing workforce, but who also bring a cultural and social diversity to the city. That growth, in turn, has led to a steady stream of new enterprises that include restaurants, clubs, housing and shopping destinations.
