Moving from Charlotte to Dakota Ridge next month

Random thought, We're a young couple and Crime rate is something to consider -Dakota Ridge sits at 480.3 per 100K. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Anyone in a similar situation? The city has invested a lot in new development.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is improving in most areas.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's not perfect but it works for me. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've lived in Eastside for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- The pet-friendliness scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
