Been meaning to ask this. Crime rate is something to consider -Union City sits at 281.9 per 100K. With a population of 66,375, Union City is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 5.8%, which is about average. Average temperature is around 55--F, so the weather is moderate. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Thoughts? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value food scene, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely hit or miss and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. My neighborhood (Fairview) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Charlotte, be prepared for the culture shock. weather is completely different here. And Homeless population growing downtown.
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.

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Came here for work and stayed because I love the pace of life here. The healthcare is honestly improving and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
