******RECOMMENDATIONS*******
(areas for young black professionals to live):
South End **highly recommend**
Plaza Midwood
Uptown
Midtown
South Charlotte (Arsley Grand area/near airport)
Noda
West CLT (being gentrified but be mindful stay closer to the city if you want to rent a room/townhouse still a nice area)
Northlake (20 mins away from the city)
University Area (college area 25-30 mins away)
Areas to stay away from East Charlotte (but hey do you lol) update: do more research on East Charlotte to buy could be an option but if new to the city and renting personally wouldn’t recommend. However rent is a lot cheaper
how is the weed over there lol
@@GRINDETHIKSMIXTAPESHOW lol I’m not sure 🤔
Thanks for this♥️
Hello, what would you say about South Park for young single women in their mid to late twenties?
@@GRINDETHIKSMIXTAPESHOW expensive & not that good lol
I officially put in plans to move to Charlotte so this was needed😃
Nice where do you live now?
Same lol ❤️
@@energyh6 yayy come on down to the Queen City LOL
Bring a man with you because the dating is trash
@@MichelleG333 join the black single in Charlotte FB group to meet new people
Love this! I sure hope you’re right about the southern hospitality rubbing off on folks moving from the north 💖 I’m moving to NC from CA but I love the friendliness of NC folks!

I’ve been looking for some young block women moving to Charlotte as I just got a job offer. Sis this was so nice, thank you!
I’ve been here almost 3 years. Good info, it’s a bit different for me being over 40, but it’s been a good move for me over all. Love the channel 💜
I looking to move to Charlotte in September 2021. Going to visit in August for job searches. I just turned 40, single girl, no kids. Any suggestions for housing areas?

@@tracysimon6647 I’m in the same boat 38 single no kids ☺️I’m worried about the dating thing for our age range 🤦🏽♀️ but I’m moving to Charlotte in a few months
@@tracysimon6647 Hey look at Pringle Square apartments in Steele creek area , newly built I was just approved for my apartment I move in a few months, praying you find something 🙏🏽
You appear to be the commenter to land on. Another over 40 SBW headed to Charlotte looking for apartments right NOW.
I can’t wait to move there in August. Will be in Charlotte in a couple weeks to look for a place. Hopefully can sign a lease while there. Wish me luck! I wish everyone well on their journeys 🙏🏽 Namaste
Good luck!
Thanks for watching. I def think you’ll enjoy moving here. Check out black singles in CLT FB Group
@@ebonysoblessed Thank you
Just wanted to share in case anyone has children and looking to relocate to Charlotte. Schools seem better in Huntersville, Concord, Dilworth if in Charlotte area. The best schools are in South Carolina. The nearest city I found was Fort Mill, which has a really good school system and only 20 mins from Uptown, South End, etc.
@@camilleandriette thanks for sharing for all the moms out there
Thank you for this !!!! Going to give this move a shot
Hey that’s awesome to hear. Good luck on your move

Totally agree
But how are the people ..the vibes?
I am so happy I came across your video I am stl native like you and thinking about moving to charlotte I can't decide between Uptown or South End to live.
South end
Just came across your video and I love the video especially since I’ve been considering moving there in the near future… definitely agree that Charlotte is a great place… being from St. Louis myself the vibe is definitely different.

@@BriBri-dl4om No , ended up in another city.
Very informative thanks
We also got the Carolina Place Mall and the Charlotte Premier Outlet Mall
thanks for sharing. I've been to those malls a few time. My fav is SouthPark Mall.
Thank you for this. I plan on taking a solo trip soon to visit the area bc this has been on my list!
That’s awesome glad I could help
I’m so glad you said the northerners are getting southern charm because I’ve heard otherwise
Great video, moving in 2 months! I'm gonna need the address to that taco restaurant lol
Hot Taco, Maria’s, Bakersfield, Ruru are great spots
I’m moving in two months too!

@@ebonysoblessed I joined it a few months back lol.
Damn everybody moving the same month I'm moving to Charlotte August must be the month of moving to Charlotte lol
@@pierremeans4054 New Beginnings!!
im from Michigan and just moved back and now im ready to move to Charlotte
I’m from New Orleans and I went to college in Atlanta. I feel like I need something completely different and most people go to Houston or Dallas, so I want to do the opposite lol.
I’m from nola and totally agree with that sentiment which is why I moved to Charlotte about a year ago lol. I have a couple of different opinions than in this video, but I agree with alot as well!
@@Veryvery987 do you like it? The crime is getting worse here and they don’t have enough officers. It’s definitely time for me to go!
I’m here because of (PROS Only)!!!
Exactly but I will be making a cons only video just to give a rounded out prospective
Thanks for this video! I’m moving to Charlotte towards the end of the year. I’m living in Raleigh now (7 months) and it’s very boring here so I told myself I would try Charlotte lol.
Since we have this outrageous inflation of everything. Are you able to speak on prices of rent now whether it’s your’s personally or friends?
how is your moving going? and currently rent is $1500. will make an updated video soon.
Gotta hurry up and visit I think March will be when I come
Yes girlfriend come to visit Charlotte has a lot to offer
@@ebonysoblessed 🥰🤗🤗
I’m a flight attendant moving to CLT end of this month! Where’s the best apartment close to the airport? I am lost in my search 😭 love your video, very helpful! ❤️
Thank you check out apts on the west tyvola street and the Ayrsley Towns area.. sycamore at tyvola and apt around there. They are pretty reasonable priced and about 15 mins or less from the airport
Girl!! I’m from Stl and I’m researching moving to Charlotte!! And I don’t know anyone there either
Some areas in south Charlotte are more than $1000 to $1300. Even a young lady from up north said that south Charlotte is expensive. Matter of fact, a lot of people say that.
Hey yes that range is def accurate. If you stay in northlake which is a nice area too but further out. Rent is around $1000
Yeah it's got alot more expensive over the years but we know what's up
@@ebonysoblessed It must be the hood because like I said before there are a lot of people talking about how expensive it is in Charlotte.
@@sherryw9206 hey yeah most places are around $1200-1300 for a 1 bedroom. However, university city and north lake is reasonable priced.
lol. im from New Jersey and I can tell you right off the bat that Charlotte is cheap!! I wonder where that lady from the north is from.
Would you say Charlotte is diverse? I’m considering moving from Tennessee. It’s not really diverse where I live and I hate it. I’m originally from Atlanta so I’m just looking for diversity. I don’t want to be the only black woman at my job lol. It’s so isolating and lonely.
It’s extremely diverse, almost like half / half
Please subscribe for more videos! 👍🏽
I’m considering moving down in November it’s just the transition of rent. In Cleveland, Ohio where I’m from I stay in a very nice apartment in a nice suburban area for $630
Oh I wish. Apts here are starting at $1100
Needed a vid like this so much negative stuff about Charlotte still planning on visiting
Really. I’m glad Charlotte has alot to offer
@@ebonysoblessed yes I have to get out of Chicago nothing here anymore
@@bambam6231973 I love summertime Chi. Heads up Charlotte doesn’t have as much diversity as Chicago
@@ebonysoblessed yes chicago summers have always been good esp back in the day? Diverse? Hmmm
Hope we can meet when I move 🥰 so ready to leave Michigan
Heey girl ! I heard the price went up real bad lol! How much would you say 1 beds are now?
Still $1,000?
$1300
Charlotte definitely had some bad areas, just like any other city. Make sure you’re always paying attention to your surroundings.
Very true. Thanks for the tip and watching.
Is Charlotte pretty diverse? Are there a lot of cultures? Also are the food options culturally diverse too? Is the vibe of Charlotte moreso for families or young professionals or both?
Hey thanks for watching. Honestly I would say not really from what I’ve seen. We do have few good Caribbean, African, Vietnamese, and Italian spots. Uptown and metro area is def for young professionals.
I live in St. Louis and that rental cost range is expensive for us lol
lol really. CLT is more expensive than stl but the jobs in CLT pay more.
What areas would you recommend for a single mom with school aged kids to live near Charlotte? Even if it’s the suburbs. I’m looking for good schools ! I WFH so I don’t need to commute.
Hey check out Huntersville, Matthews, and Concord area
Belmont, Fort Mill, Ballantyne are also worth looking into.
Great video, I'm thinking about moving to dilworth from Florida
Thanks for watching. What part of FL? What other topics would you like to know about CLT?
Same area I’m looking at
Hi Ebony! I appreciate your video . I’m new to Charlotte , I’m 26 years old single with no kids and I work in finance . I’m just wondering what the people my age do ?Also where do the guys ages 25-34 hang out ? I’m one of two black folks at my job in my department so I haven’t had much luck there lol .
I’ve lived here for about a year and am still trying to figure that one out😅 There are definitely some what I refer to as “bottle girl spots” lol, that have the hookah and blasting music. Like, this place Cloud. Then on the flip side, there are tons of eateries and breweries and bars that are super cute…but you’re not finding groups of black guys in there lol. As far as places where black guys just hang out (like restaurants/bars/lounges) and you could potentially meet someone..I’m struggling with that one lol.
I live in a very small conservative town in nc and hearing someone say charlotte is safe is a shock to me honestly cause people down here are scared of Charlotte 😂
I think Charlotte is safe but also depends on what area you stay in
@@ebonysoblessed I’m hoping i can go to queens university of Charlotte someday so i can experience the city myself :)
Hey I’m considering moving to the Carolinas do they have local bus/train transportation?
I'm wondering the same thing.
Yes, it depends where you live in NC but Charlotte, NC does.
It’s not very reliable but it exists
Great review, however, I've lived here 7 yrs and dating is horrible in Charlotte.
Oh no where are you meeting people?
I stay in SC wanting to move to Charlotte and find a welding job
Hey that’s awesome. Charlotte is a nice place to live. Not sure about that industry but the city is constantly having new jobs pop up all the time
Do they have welding jobs
Coming from NYC , I’m not rude until someone bothers me 🤣🤣🤣
I'm coming from Las Vegas they said we west coast ppl are douche bags lol
Oh no be nice 👍🏽
Carolina place mall
is it a lot of people from atlanta move to charlotte do you know
Hey I would say a fair amount. I’ve noticed a lot of people from the Northeast ie philly, NJ, NY, Boston, etc move to Charlotte
I’m considering moving to Charlotte NC and I was just wondering what the pay rate when it comes to jobs
Hey it depends on your industry and experience. I believe the market is pretty fair.
She said people from up north get friendly the southern hospitality rubs off on us lol we been friendly people from Charlotte anti social and boring and Charlotte barley has any hospitality and that's a fact
South Carolina sucks born and raised here ready for a change in scenery
Come to Charlotte! Love to have you
Men where 😫 been here 3 years bored
🤣🤣 they are everywhere. 1501, graham street pub, sports one, tattoo & Booz, beer garden, hot taco.
But how’s the weather?? 😩
Hello beautiful this was very helpful thank you but is it okay if we can talk privately I have some questions if it’s okay !?
ebony.searcy38@gmail.com
I’m new to this btw I’m about to put my profile picture up soon but can you email me or something I’m moving to Charlotte soon just need to ask more questions lol if you don’t mind 🙏🏾
@@ebonysoblessed ok thanks will be reaching out 🙏🏾
Has this become the new Atlanta?
I don’t think so
The reason you feel safe is probably because that city is known for holding Christianity. Christians aren’t murderers. That’s why I wanna move there, because they’re God-centered to the point where it’s normal to ask whether you go to church. I believe God’s Holy Spirit is in that city more than anything and that’s why they’re successful. Coming from MA, it’ll be refreshing to see a good percentage of black people.
What dating app did u use
Hey I use hinge and bumble. Also black singles in CLT FB group
Looking between south end and Dilworth as a single black professional male. Suggestions between the two?
I would say Southend. It’s walking distance from several shops, bars, restaurants, parks, and public transit center. I visit that area often.
south end
@@alaska340 totally agree.
also, check out uptown, noda, plaza midwood, and midtown.
@@ebonysoblessed thank you all for your comments. So I did check out a few apartments in my price range In South End and dilworth. I definitely think dilworth will be more affordable, however I am considering plaza mid wood also. On my next visit I think I’ll Airbnb in those two neighborhoods to see how it would be to live there. At this time I don’t think south end may work because of the pricing
Dating scene in Charlotte is trash you have to go to a club a bar or lounge no one is outside
Rent way up now! LOL
Definitely is!!
What's the major universities there?
Hey yes, UNCC, Queens University, Johnson C Smith, Kings College, Johnson & Wales, Wake Forest
@@ebonysoblessed thank you! ❤❤
Is south East a bad place
Hey I would say you have to research where the apt is located, parts of east Charlotte is not the best for ppl moving to Charlotte. If you are looking for affordable apts I recommend northlake or university city area is a safer neighborhood
@@ebonysoblessed just wondering have u heard of the pavilion UN. It’s in the university area
@@nihjah7 hey i took a look. i recommend. anything in the UC area is pretty safe. the traffic from uptown to UC is not the best around 30 min drive.
Great video but where is rent 1k in Charlotte? Is it the hood?
No $1k+ it’s in south Charlotte, south end, mid wood, noda, uptown. north lake. These areas are nice... East Charlotte is hood and university city is college students. So it depends on where you look and want to live.
@@ebonysoblessed yeah I thought so , most of my apartment research was in south Charlotte in some of those areas
No way... I stay in Uptown and pay less than $1100... I can walk to so many bars and restaurants...I can see Bank of America Stadium from my rooftop
@@amsey3700 lucky , you must know someone who has the hookups.
@@amsey3700 yeah that’s in range I pay $1k for my spot
The dating scene sucks idek why it’s on the list 😂
Charlotte < Raleigh/Durham
Hey I only visited Raleigh/Durham once. So I can’t really compare the cities to CLT. I do know Charlotte is a bigger Metro area.
Asking people where you from that shit is so fuckin aggravating I live in Charlotte I be thinking to myself why the fuck does it matter
1K RENT IS THE HOOD PEOPLE LOL! AND THAT WHOLE 15 MIN,WHAT SIDE OF CHARLOTTE YOU LIVE ON, IS BROKE LOCAL ISH PERIOD! US FROM OUT OF STATE DON'T MIND DRIVING, WE USE TO IT! SMH I CUT A CHICK OFF WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT LAME,BROKE TALK!! LATA
hey thanks for watching. this vid is mainly for young black professional that are looking for places to stay and learn more about CLT. these are my personal opinions and experiences.
@@ebonysoblessed WHEN I WAS A YOUNGER PROFESSIONAL, I DIDN'T LIVE IN CHEAP HOOD AREAS LOL! AND I'M 47, MIDDLE AGED CUZ I EXPECT TO LIVE UNTIL 90s THE MOST HIGH WILLING LIKE MY GRANDMA AND POPS AND MOMS! TAKE CARE
@@jdoe7144 hmm but south end is not the hood and that’s where I recommend people to visit and live
@@ebonysoblessed I'M JUST GIVING YOU A HARD TIME,YOU DIDNT SEE THE LOL! AND SOUTH END DOES HAVE SOME SHADY AREAS TOO! ENJOY YOUR DAY SISTER!
@@jdoe7144 yeah no worries
