Lake Norman
Life on the water doesn’t get much better than this! Lake Norman is the largest man-made lake in North Carolina and is known for its breathtaking views, convenient luxury real estate and over 500 miles of shoreline. Part of what makes this one of the highest sought-after residential areas in North Carolina are the unique towns that encompass its shores. Mooresville’s exciting adventures, Huntersville’s exclusive shops, Cornelius’s unique eateries, Davidson’s art scene, Troutman’s historical character, and Denver’s small-town charm grant experiences that last a lifetime. There are even annual festivals, monthly events, beautiful parks, and so much more! The best part? You don’t have to look far to enjoy a day on the water with friends and family; all of these towns have direct lake access! Lake Norman also has dozens of hiking and biking trails, great fishing spots, and tons of local-favorite restaurants that are boat friendly. Located just 20 miles north of busy Uptown Charlotte, Lake Norman is the perfect waterfront, year-round getaway.
