Real Estate on Lake Norman- Homes and Condos
View Larger Map
The desire for lake living on Lake Norman, the demand for waterfront real estate on Lake Norman, plus the slower lifestyle of the south, has lured 1000’s of Northerners and created the demand that’s fueled the growth along the eastern and now western side of Lake Norman… making it a Charlotte favorite since the early 1990’s.
The lower lake (Cornelius, Davidson and Huntersville)
allows 30-45 minutes commutes to Uptown Charlotte, the Upper lake (Mooresville, Sherrils Ford, Troutma) is better for folks working north of Charlotte, or in Statesville, and some commute to the Triad and Charlotte- a little over an hour from Mooresville.
Lake Norman is perfect for a 2nd home or condo as a weekend getaway- it is real estate with a purpose!
Here are the Lake Norman Home searches, I can customize specific waterfront searches easily for you.
Lake Norman is the largest man-made lake in North Carolina at over 34 miles long and as wide as 8 miles across. With over 500 miles of coast line Lake Norman sports more waterfront property than the North Carolina and South Carolina coast combined. I-77 connected the lake to Charlotte in the 1970’s, and the development began in the 80’s picking up speed int eh 1990’s-The availability of waterfront property and Lake Norman’s proximity to Charlotte drive the increased demand for real estate on Lake Norman.
There are 4 towns that run along the east coast of Lake Norman. They are Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson (I call Lower Lake) and Mooresville. (Upper Lake) The Lower Lake towns are all in Mecklenburg County, while Mooresville is in Iredell County. Each has an “old side” typically east of I-77, and a “new side” west of I-77 and closer to the lake. Each offers a unique take on Lake Norman living and each town is discussed below.
Mooresville
At the top of Lake Norman, Mooresville is known for its wonderful lake communities, terrific waterfront homes, high quality schools, and until recently a quieter, more easy going lifestyle. As its popularity increased so did rush hour congestion, but relief is coming to Brawley School Road in a road expansion (moving telephone lines now). Improvements to Rt 16 to the west are also already well under way. The most famous Mooresville community- the Point, remains by most measures the finest waterfront-golf community in the Carolinas, with homes starting at around $900,000, quality waterfront homes from around $1.5M. There is lots to love about Moooresville and the surrounding communities. Like to see more posts about Mooresville? Use the Search window above for easy access…

Davidson
A university town 5 minutes to Lake Norman, Davidson is undergoing a transformation with two new hotels right at Exit 3o. Long known for its hi-quality liberal arts education, and basketball tradition, Davidson grows and gets better with age being named to a list of “New Ivy League School” by Newsweek in 2007 along with the University Of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Davidson found its way to the national headlines during the 2008 NCAA tournament as the Wildcats engineered a deep run into the tournament with the quality guard play of Stephen Curry. Please take a look at the photos and links below for more information on the Davidson area. Any questions? Give me, Terry, a call at 704-351-1519.

Cornelius
Cornelius, until recently, was a farming community near Lake Norman. Real estate development in Cornelius has taken on a life of its own as some of the best waterfront communities in the state have found a home in Cornelius. Communities like The Peninsula and Antiquity are redefining Cornelius as one of the best areas in Lake Norman to find new and custom homes. The large picture at the very top of this post is of a waterfront home in Cornelius. Cornelius is located just south of Davidson, only 20 miles from uptown Charlotte.

Huntersville
Huntersville consisted of farms just 20 years ago; When I move here in the early 1990’s, Exit 25 had a service station- the area has developed briskly along Exit 23 and Exit 25 off of Interstate 77. It has consistently been named to “Money Magazines Best Places to Live” since 2000 because of its good values, schools and lifestyle. It’s proximity to Charlotte and Lake Norman has made it an ideal place for many families who work in Charlotte but want to play at the Lake. Presbyterian Hospital at Exit 23 was a wonderful addition to the growing area and beautiful Birkdale Village at Exit 25 opened in the early 2000’s with great fan fare and is still some of the best shopping in the greater Charlotte area. (Every new shopping center seems to be “just like Birkdale.”) The new Northlake Mall is just an exit below. Please see the photos and posts below. Any questions?
