4.	Can you point out some neighborhoods for the single young professional crowd to live? Thanks! We have several great communities.  Karen Lakes,Cliffdale Cott,Harbor Pointe, Kings Grant which are condos and townhouse communities that offer pools, clubhouses and golfing.  It would all depend on the price range you would like to be in.  I am a Realtor and I could assist you in finding a home. A young professional would like the Lakeshore Neighborhood that consists of condos and luxury Town homes. The prices range from 140,000-210,000. This neighborhood is off of Cliffdale Rd. Please let me know if more specifics. Also, the up and coming neighborhood of South Point in Hope Mills NC centered around the brand new state of the art Millstone 14 Cinema and shoppettes.

9.	I have 3 children, ages 14, 9 and 7. My biggest concern while we relocate is for them to be in a good environment. How can I find out what some of the better choices of neighborhoods/schools are for my children's safety, future friendships and overall well-being? I have seen a lot of information about test scores and schools achievement, but I am more concerned with behavior, character, and attitudes. You will have to locate the school by their numbers then call and interview both the receptionist and the principal plus go visit them and ask for a tour.  You can also call the board of education and question them.   As far as selecting a good neighborhood, a lot will depend on the realtor selected.  There are a lot of good realtors that have taken extra classes to earn designations to become true professional of their profession. Once you have identified the house or area, visit it several times during the day and night plus on weekends.  Call the local law enforcement agency and ask them about the crime in the area.  Every subdivision is unique and you have to evaluate them just like you do schools.  But, your realtor can/should assist you with a lot of information about the neighborhoods and area.
