Home to the East Coast operations of Wells Fargo and corporate headquarters of Bank of America, Charlotte is one of the major financial centers in the country. In addition, the city is home to growing energy, transportation, health care, and education sectors. With such a variety of industries in one place, it's no wonder Forbes once included Charlotte on its Best Places for Business and Careers list.

If you already have a job lined up for your move to Charlotte, your next step is to find a new neighborhood. With so many unique neighborhoods around the city, you might find it difficult to select the best one. If you're an artist or simply love a neighborhood with a funky vibe, head to the Arts District. The houses here are bright and colorful, and you'll find a restaurant or bar playing live music almost every night of the week.

The Ballantyne neighborhood has a nice mix of homes for every budget. Here you can find everything from bungalows in the $200,000 range to mansions in the Ballantyne Country Club that go for over $1 million. Young professionals typically gravitate to the Center City neighborhood and its good selection of condos and townhouses. They also appreciate the ease of getting to downtown businesses and offices that this neighborhood offers.
