Welcome to Waxhaw / Weddington

This vintage neighborhood has maintained its small-town charm while gaining quality growth over the years. Known for its Historic District, Waxhaw has several unique buildings and attractions including the iconic pedestrian bridge, making it easy to forget that you’re only about 15 miles South of Uptown! As one of the oldest towns in the regions, it’s easy to see why this antiqued character and historical beauty puts Waxhaw on the National Register of Historic Places.

Blink and you’ll drive right by this 17 square mile town that’s home to under 10,000 residents. Also about 15 miles South of Uptown, Weddington has always been (and continues to be) committed to maintaining its historical aspects alive for not only those who live there, but for visitors as well.
