Charlotte tops wishlist for Americans looking to move, study says

A house sitting company has named Charlotte the destination people most want to move to in the United States. TrustedHousesitters, a house and pet sitting company, compared domestic migration statistics with relocation-related Google search data to determine the places people most want to move. Charlotte tops the list, followed by Austin and Dallas in Texas. Honolulu, Hawaii was ranked the highest for travel. The company found U.S. Google searches for “moving to Charlotte” and “living in Charlotte” average a combined 1,890 monthly. The company compared this to data on domestic migration. TrustedHousesitters used Census Bureau data to identify the metro area gained about 24,400 domestic migrants in 2024-25, which was the largest increase among the destinations analyzed. The area’s latest annual gain equates to 8.4 people per 1,000 residents, according to the study. Charlotte was also named the most underrated city in America in 2026 by Clever Real Estate, the Charlotte Observer previously reported. So, how many people are actually moving here? Despite the city’s reputation as a location people want to move to, and an underrated one at that, migration to Charlotte actually dropped 14% between July 2024 and July 2025 , the Charlotte Observer recently reported .

Mecklenburg County buying 56 acres for park, housing in northwest Charlotte

Mecklenburg County commissioners quietly approved a $12 million purchase this past week of more than 55 acres for parks and housing at 400 Radio Road in northwest Charlotte. Why it matters: That's sizable acreage, near Sunset Hills Golf Course, that will eventually be turned into multiuse sports fields and mixed-income housing, two things Charlotte needs. Plans for the site have yet to be designed, so details are scarce and there's no timeline, a county spokesperson told Axios. Between the lines: Commissioners approved the purchase from Charlotte Broadcasting, LLC almost unanimously following a closed session. Commissioner Elaine Powell, a staunch parks advocate, cast the lone "no" vote. She told Axios she didn't approve of the funding method because it "depleted" the money available to acquire top priority properties. Half of the purchase price will come from Environmental Leadership Plan dollars. The land is appraised at $3 million, according to county records , a quarter of the purchase price. But the county says an independent third-party appraisal valued the property at $13.1 million.

Shelby dedicates monument during annual Veterans Day event

As country singer Lee Newton sang "God Bless the USA," Cleveland County veterans, leaders and elected officials slowly unveiled a granite monument honoring those who served in the military before a crowd gathered at Uptown Shelby's historic Court Square on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The monument, which recognizes veterans from each branch of service, was dedicated during the annual Veterans Day program. The memorial, inscribed with "Dedicated to all who served in times of war and peace," features several plaques, including one depicting the iconic photograph of U.S. Marines raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. At the bottom it displays the message "All gave some — some gave all." Following a parade, the unveiling kicked off with American Legion Post 82 presenting the colors. All of the veterans in attendance were recognized and a moment of silence was held for POWs. Kevin Gordon, chairman of Cleveland County Board of Commissioners, gave a brief history of what was initially called Armistice Day and later became Veterans Day.
