Charlotte NC has recently become the quintessential Retirement destination not only for “First Time” retirees but also for “Half-Backs”. Half Back is a colloquialism for someone who retires to the Sunbelt of Florida or Arizona then moves halfway back to the north and buys a second home in the southeast states like North and South Carolina. The Carolinas offer four season climates with the occasional snow. Charlotte is close enough to the North Carolina mountains ski slopes as well as the Asheville area that you can enjoy a very mild southern winter but still experience “a moderate snow” with a quick jaunt to the mountains.
The Charlotte 55+ communities offer retirees an abundance of opportunities and activities involving many entertainment, sporting and cultural events. Charlotte itself is the financial capital of the south and brings with it many restaurants and shopping centers.
