Best Cities In North Carolina

Charlotte metro is BY FAR the best place to live in NC. It is beautiful and diverse, both by population and by geography. Raleigh is truly an ugly area - a maze of pine trees. Also, Raleigh's downtown can best be described as "Mayberry with a dome." It is a metro made up of suburbs - no urban core to speak of. Charlotte, in contrast, has a nice uptown area that feels much more urban - it's no New York, but the best you'll find in the nation's 9th largest state. Note: the worst areas to live in NC are east of I-95 and west of I-77. Period!

Charlotte is really beautiful

North Raleigh is amazing, safe, family oriented, and the schools are amazing. Southeast Raleigh is a ghetto. Midtown Raleigh has some nightlife and outdoor mall. Southwest Raleigh has the vibrant Glenwood and Crabtree areas

I went to Raleigh on a field trip in 4th grade.
