good luck!!!

I know a lady that is having problems finding appropriate schooling for her special needs child. They just don't handle them the same down here as they do up north and it should be a special consideration when buying a home. I guess he's a special needs but mainstreamed with assistance. From how I understand it, they don't mainstream kids with his needs and cannot find assistance to get what he needs. So I think the school should be a priority in an instance such as this, and then the home. I think that couple did it backwards.

Perhaps it just depends on the specific school that your child goes to? Also, is it true that if I am willing to provide the transportation, my children (right now ages 3 1/2 and 2 1/2) can attend any school in Mecklenburg County? Would anybody also have any insight on the special services provided for autism diagnoses in Mecklenburg? Are they provided by the state or county or are they out of pocket expenses? Any info. anybody has is sooo appreciated. I LOVE this site and am so happy I stumbled across it. It is so informative and everyone is so helpful. By the way, we also looked at Rosedale, beautiful houses and neighborhood just a liitle too above what we could afford right now. Also did the nonstop househunting and purchasing a home in the Charlotte area in two and half days! With our 3 1/2 and 2 1/2 year olds. With the special needs. Need I say more?? ha ha Thanks again!!!

Torrence Creek and Hopewell are in Meck. Rosedale children go to those schools and I've heard they are very good schools.

I would check out Wynfied, it has several sections to it and two entrances. It is a great neighborhood for kids, walking dogs, and walking/running. It also is only about a mile from Torrence Creek Elemntary. They are not new, but houses sell fast in there because of the location and value. Hope that helps.

Also, North Meck High seemed to be the only HS.

My kids will be in K and 2nd grade if we're up there next year. Any recommendations on schools? I see that the Fort Mill SC schools grade out well.

Considering a move to the Huntersville/Denver area of NC. Have been checking out homes on the web in the $170-185,000 range. Any suggestions for a nice, fairly quiet neighborhood, and not terribly far from Birkdale Village? Where do we look? We keep seeing the Stone Hollow sub popping up with, what look like nice homes in that price range. Why so many available? No concerns for schools but do want a nice atmosphere.

Hi,
I know the area very well. I would look in Wynfield, Birkdale and Northstone. There are plenty of other newer neighborhoods but these are the best resale neighborhoods around in that price range.
thanks,

Lisa

try gilead village

lisakosis · 11-01-2007, 07:18 AM

I like Birkdale, Northstone, Oakhurst and Wynfield. They are all established neighborhoods in good locations. I live in Oakhurst and really like it.

For that price range look in Heritage Green, maybe Oakhurst, etc

No kidding. I love how realtors come here and make suggestions that completely don't match the buyers needs.

I did a quick search and I agree with Gilead Village, and there were a few listed in Cedarfield, Crosswinds, and Tanners Creek. Good luck.

A city data member I just helped out bought a home in Wynfield for 269k so it can be done. I also suggest Cedarfield. Crosswinds are ok but the lots are extremely small. Gilead Ridge homes seem ok as well.

[hello my friend....try skybrook...beautiful area..well made home ...average home start at 225,000...sincerely Cliff

quote=jsmikesell;131227]I'm making a trip up to scout out the area for relocation. So far from my internet research, Huntersville looks ideal.

So for a newer home (2000 and up) between $250-325K what subdivisions should I check out?[/quote]
