Relocation Information

Moving to a new place sometimes comes with challenges. The links below are provided to help ease your transition into Kannapolis. You will find housing options, services needed (like cable, licensing, transportation, banking, etc.), graded school systems within our area, nearest medical facilities, and community resources (post office, library, parks, and shopping). We also provide you with quick links to county and city government websites as well as popular area attractions.

Housing

Inform the landlord that you are employed at the NCRC. This may assist in your lease/rental terms. Employment letters are available to confirm dates and salaries of employment, as employees may not have established credit in the US.
