Advice on moving to Charlotte area

Hello. I am relocating to Charlotte in December. I have friends in the Mooresville area and have visited them a few times past few years. I know little about south Charlotte.

My job location is about two miles south from the CLT airport on the west side of charlotte.

Any watch it's/advice for looking for a place to live in south Charlotte and/or Belmont area? I guess not being under any major flight paths would be one thing to watch out for. I'm not keen on living in the city.

Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving
