A City with Historic Battlegrounds 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Kings Mountain, North Carolina is a small southern city in Cleveland County. This city is connected to two interstate highways with service to York and Bessemer. There is easy accessible bus and airline transportation. The average one-way commute through the city, takes about 20 ...Read More minutes.

The weather here is always anticipated, the summers are hot, but comfortable. It would be unusual for the temperature to rise above 89 degrees. The climate can produce occasional rain and scattered showers from time to time. If you love hot summer days, then North Carolina may also benefit you.

As an added benefit, there is a host of nearby amenities, like groceries, food & drink, shopping, coffee breweries, schools, parks, libraries & books, fitness and public transportation. My daughter loves to dance and one of her favorite go to destinations, is Dance Magic just a couple of blocks away. The school is phenomenal the instructors are polite and they love children. I highly recommend this area, this is great for living, touring and vacationing. Read Less
