Sweeping landscapes including the Appalachian Mountains to the west and the Coastal Plains to the east along the Atlantic Ocean. Over the years North Carolina’s economy has transitioned from tobacco, furniture, and textiles to a more diversified economy including engineering, biotechnology, and finance.
With a mild to moderate climate, great beaches and terrific mountain escapes, it’s no wonder North Carolina is one of the nation’s fastest growing states.
Charlotte is flanked on either side by two of the largest man-made lakes in the Carolinas: the 32,000 acre Lake Norman to the north and the 13,400 acre Lake Wylie to the south.
The Charlotte metropolitan area is the biggest in the Carolinas (1.5 million residents) and one of the nations fastest growing regions. The area features a great geographic location with a mild climate and a taste of all four seasons. With a three hour drive to the coast and a three hour drive to the mountains, you can hit the beach or the slopes at a moments notice.

In addition, over 30 percent of the land has been set aside for perpetuity as open space, and most of that has been left in its natural state.
