Somewhere Over the Charlotte Rainbow…
September 2nd, 2010 categories: Great Neighborhoods
Living in Charlotte, NC is an experience in flavor, color, diversity, and history. We truly have a rainbow of diversity in our population which has brought wondrous food and cultural flavors to the area. No one can deny that the historical aspects of areas such as: Plaza-Midwood, Dilworth, Uptown, Chantilly, Elizabeth, and Fourth Ward offer great opportunities to learn about the birth and survival of our nation.
The Charlotte-Metro area has more to offer than just history; in fact, there is a great deal of “new” our area has to offer which also adds color and warmth to living here.
Take the Iredell County, NC – Statesville area.
The school system has over 20,000 students, which places Iredell-Statesville NC Schools in the top 20 largest school districts in North Carolina. The teachers are highly experienced with an average of 15 years of teaching experience. The Iredell-Statesville NC School district is among the top 25% of school districts in the state and continues to improve. In fact, the SAT scores, graduation rate, and writing scores are some of the highest in North Carolina.
The county itself is an interesting blend of urban, suburban, and rural living. Whether it is Charlotte lake life or country life that you’re looking for, Iredell county is filled with thriving communities and sleepy little towns.
Check out these Iredell County stats and facts:
- Lake Norman consists of more than 520 miles of shoreline. That’s a great deal of Charlotte waterfront property available for purchase and building.
- With Charlotte only a fast by highway 40 miles away, spectator sports such as Carolina Panthers football, Charlotte Bobcats basketball, Charlotte Eagles Soccer, Carolina Hurricanes hockey, and several minor league baseball teams are all within easy reach.
- Concerts, events and outdoor festivals thrive in Iredell county and your choice of Charlotte, or Winston-Salem (also just 40 miles away) are thriving places to visit for day trips or evenings out.
- Higher education is just a few steps away from this centrally located area. You’ll find: UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro, Lenoir-Rhyne, Gardner-Webb, Catawba College, Wake Forest, Appalachian State, Central Piedmont Community College, and more.
The Real Estate in Iredell County appears to give you more bang for your buck as compared to Charlotte Real Estate deals can offer. Sure, Charlotte is a great value but when taxes are a bit lower and you’re out of the Char-Meck area of double taxing, you find that other counties often compete very nicely with what you can find in the Queen City.
The city-data website offers these statistics about Iredell County:
County population in July 2009: 158,153 (50% urban, 50% rural)
County owner-occupied houses and condos: 35,680

Water area: 21.4 sq. mi.
| Population density: 275 people per square mile |
|
Dec. 2009 cost of living index in Iredell County: 84.2 (less than average, U.S. average is 100)
Type of workers:
- Private wage or salary: 83%
- Government: 10%
- Self-employed, not incorporated: 7%
- Unpaid family work: 0%

- Black (13.7%)
- Hispanic (3.4%)
- Other race (1.7%)
- Two or more races (0.9%)
- Other Asian (0.5%)

| North Carolina median age: | 35.3 years |
| Males: 60,120 | (49.0%) |
| Females: 62,540 | (51.0%) |
As you can probably guess by the stats, Iredell is a growing community filled with diversity, flavor, and excellent opportunities for education – primary and secondary. Talk to your Charlotte area Realtor if you’re considering buying property in the Charlotte-Metro area and see what her thoughts are about moving a little further north. Chances are, you’ll find a great deal to offer, and you’ll have a choice of waterfront, countryside, or urban living all waiting for you over the Charlotte rainbow in our north county neighbor of Iredell.
