North Carolina has been known as a popular retirement state because of its low cost of living, is Charlotte a big retirement area?
No, it is not. We are a growing retirement area, but currently there is exactly one “over 55, Active Adult” Community in the greater Charlotte area. It is the very popular Sun City Carolina lakes- but more are on the way. Actually, as cities go, we are a “young” city. I’m looking for the demographics, but as I recall our median household age is about 8 years younger than northeastern cities of Boston or New York.
