Just about 35 years ago, Lake Norman North Carolina was considered a weekend retreat for residents of the Charlotte area, with mobile homes and small lake cabins lining the shoreline. Now, it’s like living on vacation all year round being only a 25 minute drive to Charlotte with all of its shopping, restaurants, and all of the amenities Charlotte has to offer! Major growth in the Lake Norman area began to take hold in the early 1990’s as visitors enjoyed the friendly small town way of life and all of the beauty and recreation that living on the lake brings. By the late 1990’s housing starts in the Lake Norman area surpassed those in Charlotte for the very first time. Now, area residents say that in spite of the inevitable growing pains they couldn’t be dragged away with a tow truck! Lake Norman is a working lake created by Duke Energy for the generation of hydroelectric power and has over 520 miles of shoreline covering four counties: Mecklenburg, Iredell, Lincoln and Catawba. It is over 30 miles long and is also known as the “Great Inland Sea”. The abundance of retail shops provides residents and visitors with the opportunity to browse unique boutiques as well as upscale specialty stores and national chains. New restaurants are now opening in Lake Norman as their primary location rather than opening in Charlotte & then opening a secondary operation in Lake Norman. However, that’s not what draws people to the Lake Norman area. There is nothing like enjoying the changing seasons and savoring the constantly changing water and wind, listening to the birds & the bullfrogs…except maybe feeling the tug at the end of your fishing line. Sailing is very popular at the lake and the new sailing center provides visitors and residents alike with sailboat rentals or lessons in sailing. The Lake, however, provides the perfect place for every type of boating from super fast racing boats, to cruisers or pontoon boats and jet skis. Lake Norman is home to many exclusive communities as well as many median price range homes and many communities have their own golf courses, swimming pools and club houses for community gatherings. Birkdale Village is the official outdoor gathering place of the Lake Norman area…a fun outdoor mall with many bistros, wine shops and coffee shops as well as retail stores and a movie theater. A visit to Lake Norman, North Carolina, will not be a disappointment to any visitor seeking a combination of natural beauty and the comforts of great restaurants, cultural events and a very lively social scene. Lake Norman is a great place to live & work – and to feel like you are on vacation all year long! |
