Is it worth buying in Carolina zona urbana?

Hey everyone, My family moved here when I was a kid. The unemployment rate is 6.3%, which is concerning. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Any advice would be great. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely average and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Uptown) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Pittsburgh, be prepared for the culture shock. dating scene is completely different here. And Chain restaurants dominate.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The public transit is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.
