Charlotte – A Place You Have to See to Experience


When trying to describe to my clients why Charlotte, North Carolina is such a great place to live I was beginning to sound like a broken record. I would explain all the wonderful things that there is to do around the city. All the shopping centers. All the dining options. All the family-oriented activities. But saying it and showing it is two different things. With limited time between convincing a buyer that Charlotte is wonderful and the buyer making a decision I needed an alternative that I would let me show them exactly what I had been preaching.

While browsing through YouTube I came across this video posted by Amazing Video Tours. The video gives you just a glimpse at the numerous activities that there are to do throughout Charlotte, beginning with the always expanding Uptown, also known as downtown Charlotte.

One of the newest editions to the area is the epicenter, which has everything from nightclubs, bars, to family restaurants. Everything in walking distance. Just across the street is the Time Warner Cable Arena where you can catch the local basketball games, hockey games, and concerts. If football is more your forte, then you’re in luck, the Panthers football stadium is located just a couple blocks away. For the NASCAR fans, historic memorabilia can be seen year-round at the newly built NASCAR Hall Fame, located just blocks from the Epicenter and the Time Warner Cable Arena. The actual race track, Charlotte Motor Speedway, is located roughly 20 minutes from center Charlotte. 

There’s also plenty of fun activities to do for the kids, such as the Discovery Place. Here they can have fun exploring and learning all at the same time. With new exhibits appearing in the Discovery Place all the time, it’s something you can visit more than once.

Shopping, of course, is another fun family activity and there are plenty of options located in and around Charlotte. Concord Mills is one of the most frequently visited shopping centers for tourist and residents, with over 200 stores and 24 restaurants the nearly 1.4 million square foot mall has a something for everyone.

If you’re more of an outdoorsy family then The White Water Center is worth visiting. The center is great for a fun family outing with the chance to white water raft, rock climb or to participate in team building activities.

And we can’t forget about the beautiful scenery such as Lake Norman when talking about the Charlotte area. As the largest manmade body of fresh water located in North Carolina, Lake Norman is great for a day of boating, tubing, fishing, and just plain family fun!

If you’re looking for house in an area with an endless amount of activities then Charlotte is for you. Between sporting event locations, activities for children and plenty of shopping centers at your convenience, Charlotte has a little taste of something for everyone. Take a look for yourself!
