North Carolina. Mountain views, an awesome coast, lots of good jobs and great schools, and a low cost of living. It has the great smokies on one side and the outer banks on the other side. You can see why people from all over are moving to the Tar Heel State. With a population of over 10 million, North Carolina is the ninth largest state in the U.S. and it continues to grow. Some say it’s the best state in the country. I would agree.
And, the people here are some of the friendliest around - it must be that southern charm. Overall, North Carolina is a great state to call home. But, as always, some cities are better than others - and today we’re talking about the ten BEST places to live in the Tar Heel State.
To measure the best cities to live in North Carolina, we have to use two things - data and opinion. We’ve looked at a bunch of data, you know - crime, poverty, the quality of schools and home prices. Plus, we took into account YOUR opinion - that’s right - you North Carolinians have a lot to say about which places in your city are great and which are not so great.
Let’s get started.

2922 update on Raleigh: lived here for 37 years. Finally retired and cannot get out fast enough. Huge amount of traffic congestion. Every forested area being developed as fast as the developers can build. Property taxes and utility rates have gone up considerably every year were have been here. Housing market now unaffordable. Houses are being grabbed up at absurd prices by people from New York and California who have the money.

Western NC is the BEST place. There is nothing more beautiful than the Carolina blue sky's over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the sunsets over the mountains are breathtaking! All the people in the small towns and counties in Western NC treat you like they have known you forever and from the first time they meet you they won't forget your name. Low crime and good people can't beat Western NC

I recently moved from Delaware to Clayton, NC. First thing I noticed was that the people here are so friendly!! I can go into a grocery store and strike up a conversation with a total stranger! And everyone smiles and has manners, unlike the northern states I lived in where you feel like no one acknowledges your existence. I’m so happy to live NC, and will be the place I will take my last breaths!

My town didn't make the list but kind of did...some would say it's practically #6... this was a great vid!

Gotta love how you put all the triangle spots in the list but when you need quality scenery for the B roll you use Wilmington. New Bern, Morehead City, Nags Head, and Asheville absolutely deserves a shout out. Sure the wages might be a little lower than the triangle or Charlotte but the history, natural scenery, culture, etc more than makes up for it when factoring for quality of life

This one is just phenomenal! From the musicians, back singer, and to Kem's interaction with the audience! Magical

Nick, you posted your jingles for download! I am so happy! Thank you!

My friends daughter moved from an upscale Northern NJ town to Cary , our friends loved it so much that they moved to Cary as well. We visited them last summer , and now my husband wants to move to Carey. It is a beautiful and friendly town .

I may be moving somewhere in the near future, so this was good to hear.

This video was both informative & hilarious!

Nick I like your quirky but informative video. It was fun to watch. Keep them coming. 🥰💯👌
-
Excellent video-thank you. As an almost-lifelong resident of NC, this video is spot on. I love NC.

I live in NC (Charlotte Area) and I know the Research Triangle area is a very popular place right now, but I feel like you really missed the mark. There are plenty of places outside of the Triangle area other than the three you named that deserve to be of the Top 10 places to live in NC list. Plus I’ve found a lot of the people in the triangle area tend to be less hospitable than the rest of the state minus some in Charlotte.

Lived in Morrisville for 20 years and moved to Cary almost 3 years ago. Love both places. With Morrisville and Cary sometimes it is tough to tell where one begins and the other ends they are so similar.
-
Thank you thank you. This info is super helpful as i was thinking to visit NC to see a few friends. I also watched you other video NC places to avoid. Thank you sir. Great info.

I grew up in Wake Forest and moved to Texas in high school. Missed it so much I'm moving back next week!

NC is a wonderful place.

Well done Mr. Nick I’ve been waiting for this one
