Relocating to Concord: Know the City's Two Halves
The right town before the right house. Virtual tours for qualified buyers, and North Carolina's offer rules explained before you arrive.
Relocating to Concord: What to Understand First
When relocating to Concord, it is easy to see Concord Mills and the Speedway first and assume that is the whole city. It is half of it. Concord also has an older core around Union Street and the 1876 Cabarrus County Courthouse, with homes going back to the early 1900s and a quieter pace. The newer side, around Concord Mills, was built mostly in the last twenty years, with larger homes and big amenity centers.
Which half suits you shapes your commute, your weekends and the kind of home you buy.
