It is one of the fastest growing Charlotte suburbs with a population of approximately 40,000 residents.
The town of Cornelius is the "sister-suburb" to the north, and offers a wide array of exclusive Lake Norman waterfront homes communities such as The Peninsula, Connor Quay and Bluff Point. There are also scenic waterfront parks like Jetton Park and Ramsey Creek Park which are open to the public.
The town of Davidson is a small college town and the home of Davidson College which was this year's Cinderella team and a 2007 NCAA Basketball Tournament Sweet 16 participant. Not only does Davidson College have a high academic standard, but the town of Davidson has a high development standard to control the town's growth and maintain its ambiance for which it is well-known. However, the planned development still allows for a wide variety of Lake Norman properties which are available in the area.
Just north of Davidson is the town of Mooresville, which is known as Race City USA and is headquarters to a number of NASCAR teams. Mooresville is another town that offers an abundance of Lake Norman homes for sale, and is an ideal locale for Lake Norman NC real estate.
