Selling a Higher-End Home in Harrisburg

Selling a higher-end home in Harrisburg usually means selling one of the town's largest homes. Abbington has homes of up to about 7,200 square feet, and Kensington Forest has homes of up to about 4,800. With only so many large homes in any one neighborhood, the comparables often have to come from nearby neighborhoods of a similar standard.

Harrisburg is not on the water, so for waterfront sales we work in the Lake Norman towns.

Harrisburg

What higher-end and waterfront looks like in Harrisburg

A quieter town about 18 miles from uptown, with fewer restaurants and shops in town and Concord Mills a short drive away.

Why people choose it
Move-up buyers looking for a larger home, and downsizers looking for somewhere quiet and away from the city, but close enough to get into Charlotte when they want to.
Schools people ask about
Cabarrus County Schools. Hickory Ridge High (opened 2007) and Hickory Ridge Middle, both on Raging Ridge Road. Elementary schools include Harrisburg and Hickory Ridge. Assignment depends on the address.
Getting around
NC 49 runs through the center of town, about 18 miles to uptown Charlotte. NC 49 and Rocky River Road connect Harrisburg to I-485. UNC Charlotte is the nearest major university.
Nearby
Charlotte Motor Speedway, about 3 miles north in Concord. Harrisburg Park: amphitheater, the July Fourth celebration, the Rockin' the Burg summer concerts, and a county library branch. Pharr Mill Road Park, 37 acres along the Rocky River, with a walking trail and boardwalks that are part of the Carolina Thread Trail.
The trade-off
Fewer restaurants and shops in town, and traffic on NC 49. Concord Mills and its restaurants are a short drive away, usually 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic.
