Best neighborhoods in Charlotte

[Jared Wild]

Can someone tell me what the best neighborhoods are in Charlotte? Also, where are the best school districts? Planning to move soon and will be looking to purchase a new home.

@Jared Wild - I agree with what @Ashton Fry and @Amol Kulkarni said.  You might need to provide a little more information though.  There are good and bad neighborhoods/schools all over the Charlotte area, but depending on where you are working, lifestyle, and price range will have a big influence in what I'd recommend.  

If you are into lakes I'd recommend up near Lake Norman, but if you were working in Ballantyne, that would be a terrible commute.  If you are interested in trendy neighborhoods and urban life, then Uptown, NoDa, Dilworth might be where I'd suggest starting your look.  If you want to go where the money is and older, grander neighborhoods, then Myers Park/Southeast Charlotte is where to go.
