10 Places in North Carolina You Should NEVER Move To

Move to these places and you're gonna regret it big time!

Quick! Name the fastest growing states in the country. Florida, Texas, Colorado, yes yes yes. But would you guess North Carolina? It’s true. Due to a moderate climate, relatively low cost of living and TONS of jobs in many areas, this state is boomin, fella.

Lots of people are thinking about moving here, or already have moved here. If you’re one of them, places like the Raleigh metro area, and Charlotte, and along the coast are great picks. Although jobs near the coast are very limited. But there are lots of places in this state where you SHOULD NOT move. That’s what we’re gonna talk about today.

It’s a great state, but North Carolina has some issues, that’s for sure. The old North state has poverty, crime and drugs just like anywhere in this country. Most of this state’s trouble areas share similar things - shootings, welfare, ghetto tracts, and not a lot of opportunities for young families to get started. Nor are they places that you should retire. We’re going to take a look at ten such places. Let’s begin.

Being born, and raised in North Carolina I can tell you the biggest problem with all of the growth. People move to North Carolina, and bring their bad habits with them, or they want North Carolina to be just like the place they just left. Those two things have ruined my state, and I'm not at all happy about that.

The Carolinas, North and South Carolina, are two of the most beautiful states with good and decent folk. Beautiful beaches too.

Charlotte used to be cheap now everybody’s coming here and the rent triple

A lot of areas in NC were previously dependent on tobacco, textiles, and furniture. All three of these industries collapsed on nearly the same curve in the 80's and 90's. If an area was dependent on all three, that area suffered more than most. The Charlotte area had banking to fall back on, and the Raleigh area had tech. It would be nice to see the other areas find their footing once again.

I'm from Baltimore City, and NC is Heaven compared to the area's I lived. I love it in NC. There's bad places everywhere. People, don't get it confused. There's a lot of good places in NC.

The home I purchased in 2023 has appreciated by $60, 000 since my acquisition. However, the downside is the diminishing value of the dollar. I am currently contemplating strategies to reinvest $300, 000 in the real estate market.

Charlotte may have a lot of jobs but its getting way over crowded and the crime is going up as well as the cost of living.

[BigE-qxjb]

I lived in NC in the 90’s and I thought it was a beautiful state, all states have bad areas

[emptybaggyboys]

When he Said, Raleigh and Charlotte and the Coast were safe, ………. My girlfriend and I both belted

Wilmington NC born and raised. I’m only 25 but I’ve watched tourists and those out of state who relocate completely ruin my small beach town. Now it takes 30+ minutes just to get from one side of town to the other and we have new developments everywhere. And the never ending big businesses have run out many of the local business I knew and loved. So what was once a nice quiet artsy beach town is now full of rich white entitled retirees. It’s so sad I can’t even afford to live in the city I was born and raised. I hate how popular NC has become for retirees.

What about the "criminal" that ran all those red lights while making this video?
