I was in Fayettenam for 10ish years. Hickory is nice as well as Shelby and Boone. The whole area is pleasant. Ashville is east with great beer but tons of hippies and artsy weirdos but it's cool. Furniture capital of the states if not the world. It was always nice to stop in there on a road trip. Lotsa "culture".
It doesn't get as hot and sh*tty as the Piedmont either. We were looking at moving that way or Mt. Airy vicinity but came out here to the middle of the country instead. Winters get cold.

I have 2 nephews that lived there for 5 years. Moved a year ago. They both loved the area, but Real Estate is skyrocketing.
1 listed and sold in a week.
2 months later, the other listed on Friday. Received 5 offers on Saturday, all over listing price.
Both were happy to be leaving, too.

My father in law lives there now, and has been there since 93. He works for a fiber optics company. We moved from Statesville/Charlotte area in summer of 2021, and lived there for 26 years. Hickory is quiet and laid back countryish living. You can get everything you can from a big city but yet feels like a small town, and Charlotte is only an hour away. I wouldn't think twice moving back, it's nice in NC. Lots of mountains in driving distance, for hiking and outdoors activities.
