LAKE NORMAN

This area is very popular with families and individuals looking to escape the big city.

Welcome to Lake Norman

 
Thriving communities located on North Carolina’s largest man-made lake
 
Just northwest of Charlotte is North Carolina's largest man-made lake, Lake Norman. This area is very popular with families and individuals looking to escape the big city. A number of lakefront suburban communities have begun to thrive here, including Huntersville, Cornelius, and Mooresville.
 
These communities offer residents a more relaxed atmosphere — after all, what could be more relaxing than a peaceful day at the lake where you can take a boat ride or dine dockside?
 

What to Love

  • Lakeside communities
  • A relaxing atmosphere
  • A variety of residential types and options
  • A short 20-minute commute to Uptown
  • Urban shops, restaurants, and amenities
  • Lots of natural green spaces and recreational areas
 

Local Lifestyle

Living in the Lake Norman area is all about convenience, relaxation, and lake life. Located just 15 miles north of Charlotte's city center, these communities offer an abundance of urban amenities so you will never feel deprived of shopping or dining options.
 
Whether you prefer a large private home or a luxurious condo, you can find it in the communities of Lake Norman. Lakefront single-family homes with private docks, luxury apartments and condominiums, and properties with spacious lots are found in and around Lake Norman. 
 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

One of the many benefits of living the lake life is the ability to dine dockside. You can do just that at Hello, Sailor in Cornelius. While here, dine on Southern-style seafood entrees while you watch a stunning sunset over the lake. For a more intimate dining experience, try the New American cuisine served at BARREL & FORK, a lakeside restaurant also located in Cornelius. In Mooresville, Epic Chophouse is a great place to enjoy steak and seafood entrees in a refined and formal atmosphere.
