What it’s like
The place. Alexis is a very small community in Gaston County, North Carolina, with far fewer residents than most towns. Homes here are typically worth more than many people expect for a place this size, and none of its residents fall below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the daily drive to work is a moderate one.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many. Across Gaston County, the largest workplaces include Gaston County Schools, Gaston Memorial Hospital and Daimler Truck North America. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. CaroMont Health Park, a stadium, is only a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Crowders Mountain State Park, a protected area for walking and time outdoors, and to Lake Norman, a large reservoir. Winters are cool and rarely snowy, summers are hot, and rain falls fairly evenly through a typical year.
