I live in Charlotte and work and BofA.
The McMansions in the south are BS. Ballantyne and Pineville. Total bogus over priced and over built.
I would rather buy 5 acres of land in SC and build myself a modular or a steel framed house over that.
I am partial to Lincoln county, and I also like cabarrus county, and I really like the university area. There is a decent Hovninian development off eastfield road and prosperity church. Let me see if I can dig up a link. Here.
In charlotte Beazer just earned themselves a bad rap. Centex in spite of my complaints are good and have been JDpowered to #1 5 years running.
A 3000 sqft house with a 2 car gar will cost you 200K brand new, and ~10% less if its under 5 years old. Pay any more than that and you risk losing a lot more if it crashes.
The Myers park and old charlotte area have good schools, but have recently been exposed for kicking out bad students and calling them transfered to improve their results.
Centex has some good priced developments too (McIntyre, larkhaven, etc) basically 200K for a tract built 3000 sqft, or 300K for your own design on your own 2 acre property in the county. Primo Land costs under 40,000 an acre.
If you want more detail ask, I like charlotte but I think that south area is primed for a crash, and uptown condo’s have already had lots of walk out’s as per the word on the street.
Cool.
