Piper glenn or ballantyne country club area. Those are really your only options for affordable housing 3/30/2010 12:50:56 PM |

hahahah
you'll find LOTS of affordable between uptown and the airport
I'd look at uptown and the surrounding neighborhoods (wesley heights, dilworth, southend specifically), and then I'd shift your attention to either steele creek or belmont (not the neighborhood, the town)

lots of affordable housing in this corridor...Boulevard Homes on West Blvd near Billy Graham has very cheap rent...there are also some other nice places on Remount Road and Wilkinson Boulevard with very inexpensive rent

I recommend Freedom Drive, or tryon st. Anywhere on Tryon south of uptown will be inexpensive. 3/30/2010 1:11:46 PM |

^^ I lived in Steel Creek. Or something similarly called. It was across the NC/SC border. It only took me 15 minutes to get to the maintenance hangar.

I've only ever been to Charlotte once, and that was for a grand total of 4 hours. But the downtown area if a lot nicer than Raleigh's.
Fareako, how far is where you were from downtown? 3/30/2010 1:39:43 PM |

Between the airport and uptown?
Don't do it. Just don't.
I live in the gateway area (on the west side of uptown, the airport side, if you will). There are several decent apartment complexes there. You can walk to "uptown proper" for drinking on the weekends if that is your thing.
I live at Ten05 west trade. They accept section 8 vouchers, which brings down the resident quality a bit, but it is relatively affordable right now. 2BR for <$900/month (when I moved in 2 years ago it was cheap at $1400).
But yeah, the section 8 vouchers thing is a downer. There are well-off working professionals living there and people that are on welfare. It is weird. 3/30/2010 2:22:25 PM |

do not live anywhere off of west blvd...their are some nice places off east in the dilworth area or you could stay in the arysley area which is close to the airport. How cheap are you looking at? 3/30/2010 6:08:34 PM |

it's not between downtown and the airport, but it's very easy to get to both locations.
plus, you don't have to own a gun to be safe as the crime rate isn't that high and there isn't much low income housing 6/8/2010 7:38:03 PM |

I got a job offer (still need to accept) out in Locust but looking to live in East Charlotte. Have a few places in mind near Hwy 24/27 and near exit 39 off of 485. Any other places to check out? 10/8/2010 2:10:14 PM |

uptown has some pretty pricey spots but if you live near the light rail you can just hop on and head towards uptown.
a friend of mine used to live in this place called salem village and they liked it a lot...dilworth area
