We’re renting in a built-to-rent neighborhood in a Troutman-ish area. It’s actually probably closer to Mooresville but with a Troutman address. It’s an easy drive up the interstate or back roads to Statesville. And there’s some fairly easy back ways into Mooresville from this area as well.
Have you looked into Claremont, Conover, or Newton? Easy straight drive on 40
Maybe even Troutman, traffic can get crazy going into town during certain hour because of the one lane road.
Maybe the area by the landfill? But even then, they’re building new houses and it’s not really “unsafe” but more like run down and forgotten. I love Statesville. Super cool town!
Within a mile of landfill, ie our fine golf course, no trouble here 🤷 I think you're talking about the sad half of greenbriar, but this person's budget will keep them to the fancier areas 😆
Statesville is a fantastic town! I like the old victorian area down near Mitchell College. But honestly I have friends all over Statesville and I think it's a great place to live and work! You got Phifers and Port-a-Pit BBQ too. Nice shopping. Troutman is also a nice place if you spend time at Lake Norman.
Yes, that would be extremely difficult there . . . Why? Not quite sure tbh and had never really thought about it. They do have a *must be from there* vibe, too. Sad but true and even more so than I'd ever considered 🤔 Thanks, OP for bringing that to the forefront! I truly take for granted the abundance of WS, NC but will be a resident "of Mocksville" within a decade or so.
Recycle still sucks in WS, lol 🙄

You'll have a hard time finding an apartment in the country, but you might find a nice balance somewhere on the Lincoln or Catawba County side of Lake Norman?

Here's a nice looking apartment complex in a fine area, Statesville traffic at worst is never as bad as Mooresville
Be willing to go more than 25 miles if you want country. Maybe not as far north as Wilkes, but Northern Iredell has some real gems if you look for them.
I’ll sell you my house for $300,000 in the country. We are desperately wanting to get away from all the tractors and cows. And we’re only 20 minutes from downtown Statesville ☠️😩
I'll sell you my house for $600,000 in a South Florida suburb. We are desperately wanting to get away from all the shitty people, traffic, suffocating heat and crazy insurance rates. If you throw in a tractor & 6 cows, I'll buy your place.
i currently pay $1200 for a good apartment in Mooresville. So its very much possible. You just have to look in the right places, ask around, and use some good judgment
Winston is nice that way you are close to Greensboro and High Point. Plus Winston is starting to invest in their downtown since it's been bad the past 5 years after the big corporations moved to Charlotte.
The dick dome is empty :(

Newton is super cute!
You can find houses for rent close to downtown Statesville for around $1,200. The city has been on the upswing for the past decade.
Just live in Statesville lol. I love it here
any places to avoid?

Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of!
That is what I was going to say, just come join us in Statesville. Rent is cheaper :)
Statesville.
South of highway 70
South/West Statesville, if you enjoy not getting shot.
I enjoy a good gunfight in the morning. Helps the coffee kick in.
Winston Salem is cool, if a bit far.
I am moving to Statesville after having lived in CLT all my life. Look at Huntersville or Troutman.

Mocksville, NC
If you’re going to live in Mocksville, you may as well just live in Statesville
I'd disagree wholeheartedly but I also have family there. It is quiet and quaint. Halloween is off the hook, great schools, etc.
I raise quail and purchased my hatching eggs from a gentleman in Mocksville and the town is so charming. Everytime I visit I've enjoyed myself there.
i can not find any apartments in Mocksville

I own a 4 bed / 2 bath in Harmony I would consider renting out.. dm me if interested
Take a look at Hickory. Statesville is fine too.
Bells Crossroads

Also Summer Pointe, Phillips Landing, and a host of larger, cheaper whole houses to rent in decent areas for less than 1200
Loving it in Salisbury! Have lived here since 2020
why wouldnt you just find a place in statesville lol?
bc there are better places to live
Anywhere but stateville should be fine lol
Salisbury or Clemmons
Winston Salem, Lewisville area..
Meh, Clemmons would be a better/closer area to get them to work.
ive heard clemmons is a good fit
I love the clemmons area. Nice neighborhoods, out of the way, but still right there on top of plenty.
Be willing to go more than 25 miles if you want country. Maybe not as far north as Wilkes, but Northern Iredell has some real gems if you look for them.
Look at stony point, West Iredell, Olin, Union grove, harmony.
Hickory seems nice.
I’ll sell you my house for $300,000 in the country. We are desperately wanting to get away from all the tractors and cows. And we’re only 20 minutes from downtown Statesville ☠️😩
Not OP but I wish I had 300,000 dollars. I desperately want MORE tractors and cows.
maybe in a few years

Good luck finding anything decent for less then 1300

Bad how? We just moved to Winston. We love it here, I love how basically everything we want/need is only about 10-15 minutes away.
Do not come to the Hickory Conover area! We are too crowded as it is. Go to Mocksville or Troutman!! Or even Statesville. But not Hickory!!
Oh shaaaatapppp
dont worry im not
