We have some local restarants that have been here for awhile and also a gardening shop, We also have a little breakfast place that all locals migrate to that has local owners. A little farther from our area we have a outdoor shop who sells fresh produce and homemade pies.

Not enough variety of restaurants for families. Fast food chains are way to abundant.

The atmosphere in this area is amazing from the weather to the availabilty of jobs, various things to do and see. Charlotte is a huge banking city which is an asset for my degree in business. We have vast seasons here and areas of farming yet also city. You can travel a few hours to see the beautiful mountains for skiing or a few hours and spend your time at our gorgeous beaches. North Carolina is a state that has the best of all worlds in one state so really what more would I desire?
