CHARLOTTE , NC The pandemic migration patterns we saw over the last few years have dramatically increased interest in the “ sun belt ” states , especially Florida , Arizona and Texas . But the Carolinas have quietly been amassing interest among both younger families and retirees alike . Recent work has taken us to North Carolina , where a relatively lower cost of living , mostly temperate weather , great universities , healthcare systems and vibrant towns and cities have drawn an influx of new residents . Charlotte , the “ Queen City ” in the state ’ s far west , is actually one of the top 20 fastest growing cities in the country .
The city ’ s growth as a leisure and residential hub means both real estate and hospitality clients in the region are turning to us for help in capitalizing on consumer attention . In fact , one developer is banking on a big vision to build around national ideals of American home ownership . Branded on the American origin story , the first community has begun selling in Gastonia , a suburb of Charlotte .
