American Business Journals.
So what is important to
someone like Kara when it
comes to Charlotte’s lifestyle
advantage?
Neighborhoods:
“Charlotte is becoming its
own mini-Manhattan with its
diverse neighborhoods, like
Plaza Midwood, South End
and more. At face value you
wouldn’t think it would be
eclectic — it almost seems
white collar or urban, and it
doesn’t seem like there is as
much in-between. But when
you really do branch out and
go into these neighborhoods,
you start to see how diverse
and wonderfully engaging
the neighborhoods are,
not just what they look like
on paper.” [See map and
demographic information on
page 17.]
Diversity and inclusion:
“We love how eclectic and
diverse the area is…it reminds
us of NYC as there is a little bit
of everything here.”
Recreation: “Charlotte
does a really great job of
having something going on
every weekend. There is always
something to do, rarely a
stale weekend.”
