The Palisades in Charlotte- an Amenity Rich, Green, Golf Community at Lake Wylie
The Palisades is a resort style community just 20 miles and 30 minutes to uptown, and has been on my Terry’s Top Ten Communities for Charlotte since 2005. Thankfully, they installed the amenities before this recession hit, and they have enough homeowners for a viable community. However, they have a few large problems areas, and there is a new team coming to address the problems and start anew.
Speaking of amenities- A Private Golf club, an exceptional Tennis program featuring Tim Wilkinson, a stunning swim center, a beautiful clubhouse, Charlotte’s only Boat club-the Carolina’s Boat Club, miles of walking trails, horse trails, creeks and the rolling hills and wooded lots
Like many communities, it has been hit hard by the economic recession. But parts of the Palisades are rebounding, and others are just adjusting to a new price reality.
