thanks for the cow-tips! ……………

the ballantyne/southern area seem to have excellent schools. so those tract homes may have been bought up by professionals who care about education…
>>
i dont think we would fit into SC, at least from first and second impressions, due to nemerous cultural reasons.
>>
i would love to have acreage with room for horses etc – my kids would flip at the thought – but can we get this is NC, around charlotte, with good schools to boot?
>>
when you say the university area – that seems quite large. is this the davidson area? no da? i have kids – so a primary objective is safety and a good education.
>>
why do you think the southern area are crash-sensitive? is it just because they are newly built, or is there some other reason? my quick forays have revealed that other areas you suggest, like myers park are more expensive, with people abandoning public schools for the private kind. am i wrong?
>>
i cannot live uptown and condos of any type are out – we have kids and a bevy of animals. its a house for us, for sure.
>>
ideally, i’d love to build my own architectural home. do they have areas that have modern customs(as opposed to tract housing)? i’m sure there are building codes aplenty.
>>
i see a lot of open land – charlotte seems sprawling – but i dont see too much open space set aside, preserved and managed for public use. do you think charlotte is headed the way of LA, untrammelled growth with nary a thought for open shared space?
>>
when i visited, i was surprised by the lack of public transit. maybe it was just the weekend, yes?
