This street has a lot of traffic, a few doctor's offices, and lots of fast food. The traffic is usually medium to heavy, and it looks pretty run down. The street doesn't feel particularly safe, and it doesn't look like anyone cleans the sidewalks. Overall, it fills a few needs, but I try to avoid it if possible.

Robinwood Road is a good street to live on. The street is mostly residential and intersects E Hudson Blvd, New Hope Road, and Union Road. The street is safe and is kept clean. Traffic is normally pretty light. Not a lot of street lights or stop signs. The neighbors are friendly. Basic shopping centers and a few doctor's offices and banks.

Cox Road is not very long. It contains a lot of the doctor's offices in Gastonia as well as the hospital. It also boasts a few gas stations and restaurants. Cox Road is right off of Exit 21 on Interstate 85. Traffic is not too heavy except during the morning and evening commutes. There are also a few residential areas.

New Hope Road is another "all in one" street in Gastonia, It contains residential areas, shopping malls, restaurants, and local businesses. The road normally has heavy traffic. The road is right off of Exit 20 on I-85. The street also boasts lots of banks and many traffic lights. It is best to avoid this street if you can get around it, but it does contain everything you need.

E Hudson Blvd is a great place to live. The traffic is not too heavy, mail service is good, food, shopping, and other local businesses are nearby, and the neighbors are friendly. The street is mostly residential, with apartment complexes, housing developments, and residential streets. Anything you need is just a short drive away. Safety has never really been much of an issue either.

Absolutely anything your heart desires is located on Franklin Boulevard. Major department stores, local shops, fast food, casual dining, local businesses, and more. The street gets very busy on Saturday mornings when everyone is out shopping and running errands. Franklin is the gateway to Gastonia.

South Blvd has a little bit of everything. Local and national restaurants, residential areas, shopping, bars, and local businesses. South Blvd is a cross street to many major Charlotte streets. It is close to Tyvola, where many financial businesses are located. This street gets VERY busy, especially during lunch time.

Caldwell Street is home to some of Charlotte's downtown nightlife, and close to the Carolina Panthers stadium and Bobcats Arena. Obviously, this street gets busy around game time, and on Friday and Saturday nights. Caldwell also boasts some of the best downtown restaurants. Yummy food and tons to do!

Fairview Road is a shopper's paradise. Southpark Mall, the upscale shopping facility, is located on this road. There are also fabulous restaurants such as Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Traffic gets very hectic during the morning and evening commutes and lunch time. This street is very much upscale.

Tryon Street is THE street if you are looking for something to do. The street goes straight through downtown and all the way to the university area. Downtown Tryon offers more of the "club" scene where as Tryon closer to the University area has more low key bars, restaurants, and shopping. I would call Tryon the heart of Charlotte.
