What about Gastonia, NC? :patrice:.

My job is giving me a corporate apartment to stay in for the first 2 months until I find an apartment. However, they are trying to talk me into taking over the lease which runs through February. Its a 1 bedroom for $1400 a month. :martin:. It's in the Uptown area, in a building with a pool and a lot of other amenities. I just started looking. I don't want to pay no more than $900 a month for my first spot so I can stack bread. Plus, I'm still paying for my condo in NJ. I've seen some cheep 2 bedrooms in Gastonia which is close enough to the airport where I work near.

I've never been to Gastonia except driving through to Crowders Mountain.

But it seems bold. I dunno, I wouldn't live there. Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the trailer trash vibe from Gastonia

Site Reliability Engineering might be right up my alley.

I’m currently doing product management on a full stack application agile team.

Yet, before this I did about two years of infrastructure research using tools like VMware, Puppet and Chef. Also, I have a background using Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

I don't know bro. I say go for it if you're down to make that commute to work. And for the city happenings. You may be like Tribal Outkast above, hitting happy hour then hating driving back. If you're down to do Gastonia you may want to look into Fort Mill, SC too. Lower Taxes, No vehicle Inspection.

Another area you can check out is Arysley, it's like a small walkable city. Speaking of the area, anybody hit that Top Golf?

I been to Top Golf a few times but only when Chewy hits me up since I can go for free with him.

It’s dope as fukk and I can’t wait for them them to build that 2nd one. First I heard it was gonna be in the QCU area (aka University) but now I’m hearing they may build it Uptown

Gastonia is the most clowned city in the area and known for "white trash." There's a reason that rent is cheap :mjlol:

:manny: I dont know.

Where are some decent spots for around $800 a month. I want my first lease to be cheap so I can stack some bread.


Even though Gastonia is the butt of jokes here, if your priorities are being close to work and cheap rent, then it's probably fine as long as you make sure that the spot you want to live and the area around it doesn't seem too :mjpls:
