Reasons Moving to North Carolina is a Great Idea
Thinking about making a move to North Carolina and looking for some reasons why it might be a great place to live?
I may be biased as a North Carolina native, but I have had the opportunity of living in three of North Carolina's largest cities Charlotte, Winston Salem, and Asheville for a broad exposure for what this state has to offer. I'm not the only one that thinks NC is a great state based on moving trends published by Atlas Van Lines and United Van Lines. NC is one of only eleven states with a gain in population from people choosing to move here.
