South Charlotte NC Real Estate and Waxhaw

If location is king in real estate, then Waxhaw uses its prime location to its supreme advantage. The town runs right up to the edge of Mecklenburg County. This area is a big draw for people venturing out of the South Charlotte real estate market.

Folks like to live here for three very good reasons; it’s location, excellent schools, and low, low taxes (just shy of half that which you would pay in Charlotte)! Here, you are more apt to find homes with 6,000 square feet, than to find homes with 2500 square feet. Most of the homes are relatively new, as are the schools. The area really expanded its growth upon the heels of South Charlotte and the Ballantyne Development.

Once horse country, a drive down any of its old country roads would take you past some beautiful rolling pasture land, with barns as the backdrop for the horses that grazed there. A few farms are left, but most have succumbed to developers. Home to many estates. Here you’ll find one very large development, with three sections: Providence Downs, Providence Downs South and The Residences of Providence Downs South. Each street within the development is named after a Derby winner or a horse of note. Home prices range from $500, 000 to $3.5 Million (July 2009). The school set up is Marvin Elementary, Middle and High School. The community offers a clubhouse, pool, tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, a putting green, fitness center, and walking trails. Many of these homes have their own pool…and a little of everything else! Very grand, indeed.

Another development close to the South Charlotte border is Toll Brothers’ Marvin Creek. Marvin Creek’s idea of a pool area, will leave you scratching your head. It is every child’s dream pool! Noted for its incredible amenities, Marvin Creek’s residents enjoy a 6,500 square foot clubhouse with a beach pool, lazy river, geyser park, tennis and multipurpose courts. The entrance to the community is equally impressive with a spray of fountains and guardhouse. Homes in this neighborhood typically range in price from $600,000-$900,000; with 4,000-6,000 heated square feet-give or take a few!

Longview Country Club is also tucked in right across the border. Rated #11 in NC by Golf Digest, this gated community opened in 2003. A Jack Nichlaus Signature course, sporting a 28,000 square foot clubhouse with multiple lounges, dining areas and terraces. Stunning. The 10,000 square foot activity center’s lower level is complete with massage and steam rooms, state of the art work out equipment, and fitness classes. If you need a place for the kids, there is a Youth Lodge upstairs. The pool facilities offer both adult and family resort-style pools, with a wading area and a hot tub. There are also four Har-Tu tennis courts. This is just one of a very few gated communities in the Charlotte real estate market. Prices range from $900,000 to $3.5 million.

The draw for all of these neighborhoods, is the convenient location to South Charlotte. Within a five mile range, you can be at one of many fine establishments. Every type of restaurant, boutique, national, local and chain store imaginable…all set amongst fountains, and nightly music, theatres, plenty of plenty! It is also very easy on the eye. Each shopping area has been beautifully developed with the use of pedestian friendly venues. Going from shop to shop is no hardship here. The use of landscaping has softened the retail shoppes and the roadways. It’s all very, very nice.

Some of our MOST popular neighborhoods on this ‘just over the border’ area of South Charlotte, would be the communities of Hunter Oaks and Somerset. They were the hottest neighborhoods going, when the roads opened up into Union County. They have continued to be top sellers in the Charlotte real estate market today. Both offer wonderful swim clubs, tennis courts and playgrounds. Buffed up by huge Oak and Magnolia trees, sidewalks a plenty and street lamps. The price ranges in here from $300,000 to $500, 000. The square footage range is between 2200 and 4500. The schools are yet another draw, with Rea View Elementary, Marvin Ridge Middle and High School.

So, there you have it! If you are shopping for Charlotte NC real estate, don’t overlook it’s bordering counties!
