Can anyone give me any info on these areas in reference to housing costs, school quality, Special ed services for high functioning autism,nice clilmate, raising kids etc...

In your opinion( unbiassed) which is the better area to relocate? We want to be in the general foothills area or to have mountains in sight.

Thanks a bunch!!

I'm not sure if you have relocated yet.
Lexington 1 has a ways to go before it is a valid "choice" of School Districts for a child with Autism.

Why does it seem Greenville is so much more polished than Charlotte. Maybe more "glitzy" would be a good word also. Size aside, all the growth in the last 25 years or so is equally new. even with the massive growth of Charlotte it seems like there are more born & bred southerners there and feels a little more settled. Do you think the huge difference in the downtown areas set the tone for the whole city? Charlotte is much older but all its history is torn down or paved over. There is just something I cant put my finger on.
