If you're a water lover & can't live without it;  you're in luck! Charlotte has it all, located just 15 miles north of Uptown lies the infamous Lake Norman.  It's one of the two lakes that boarder the West side of the city, and Charlotte's top destination for fun in the sun. The communities of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, and Mooresville are nestled on the banks of this man made lake. 

Lake Norman was created between 1959 and 1964 as part of the Cowans Ford Dam by Charlotte's very own, Duke Energy. The lake itself is the largest man-made body of fresh water located in all of North Carolina. 

This little paradise that aligns the North West of the city truly has it all.  The hip and happening communities, villages, and towns are filled with entertainment and things to do.  There is great dining and fantastic accommodations. The whole vibe and culture of the community is tight niche, and the area offers a true four season climate making it a perfect place for year round activities and adventure!

Since the early 1990s, this area was primarily compromised as a secondary vacation home and luxury getaways but has now transformed into its own sustainable community. Along the 512 miles of breathtaking shorelines residents feel like they're on a permanent vacation.  There's nothing more to ask of with this community! 

Lastly, this area is for all.  Young and single professionals enjoy the growing social scene with expansions in local shopping, dining, and employment opportunities. Younger families are attracted to the well-respected schools around the areas, the community parks and beautiful neighborhoods.
