Hey ladies. I was hoping that you could help me out. My family and I are looking at possibly relocating to the Hickory area within 2011. From my research, it appears that the general recommendation is to not live within the city limits for tax purposes. I have been looking at housing via online real estate sites but not knowing the area (more importantly the areas to stay away from) makes it difficult to narrow the search area.
Do you have any recommendations for areas or specific neighborhoods in the 150-235k range?
Do you have any input on the schools? Which are better and which are better to run from?
Do you have any recommendations for realtors that you have worked with and LOVE?
Thanks so much!
Re: Any Hickory ladies?
Funny enough, we had actually been looking at the Granite Falls area as it would be the shortest commute if we were to move. We will continue to search in that area.
Mrs. Lee, I'm sorry that has been your experience. My hubby and I LOVE the rural areas as majority of our entertainment comes from being outside and not just putt-putt and movies. As far as the people go, I am pretty sure that you can find just as many racist/homophobic and generally judgemental people anywhere you live including the triangle and CT. I hope that your experience improves and I appreciate your feedback.
