Your new home in Charlotte: You’ve moved in…now what do you do?

Relocating to a new home in Charlotte? Lucky you! Welcome to a city known as one of the most livable cities in America! Here, you have a perfect blend between cosmopolitan life and real, down-home living.

You’ve moved in, spent what seems like months unpacking and decorating your Charlotte new home and feel like you need a night (or day) out on the town? Lucky you (again!)…there is so much to choose from when it comes to hittin’ the town. Into the art scene? One of the top hands-on museums in the nation is a short drive away – Discover Place. Join the more than half-million people from all over the US who visit the museum each year to view exhibitions ranging from life science to space exploration, its IMAX Dome Theatre and the Charlotte Nature Museum. Or, there’s the Charlotte Motor Speedway if an adrenalin rush is what you need to boost your energy. Maybe you just want to take a walk and relax with a glass of wine…be sure to put the upcoming Sip and Stroll Art, Wine and Music Festival on your calendar (September 17 & 18). The event will be held at the EpiCentre - a vibrant, urban shopping, dining and entertainment complex located in the heart of Charlotte. Artists will have booths displaying and selling artwork, 20+ wine vineyards will offer wine tasting, there will be a kids areas with face painting and other activities, as well as live jazz performances held throughout the weekend.

Too exhausted from moving to pull out an outfit for a jaunt to the city? How about a walk through the neighborhood? Hospitality in North Carolina is legendary and you may just run into someone else who just purchased their North Carolina new home. You can get to know your neighbors, swap moving stories and maybe even take some time to sip a nice cold sweet tea and enjoy yourself and your new surroundings.
