Hey Heather,
Hope you are having a great weekend! All of those areas are great and quite honestly you should easily be within 30-45 minutes from the airport just about anywhere in Charlotte. All of my clients laugh at me because when we are discussing how far it is to certain places I always answer "15 minutes" because it really is easy to get around and you can usually get everywhere you want to go in a decent amount of time. You certainly are going to be able to get a little more for your money in the Ballantyne, Waxhaw and Matthews areas as opposed to Myers Park just because of location. Shelley is correct in saying Fort Mill and Lake Wylie both would be good areas to look. I would be more than happy to help you in your search so when you get a chance if you would like to give me a call or email me I can start emailing you some homes to view online so that you have an idea of what is out there in these particular areas and certainly would be more than happy to show you around town when you arrive in Charlotte at the end of the month.
I appreciate it and will look forward to hearing from you!
