Buying a Home in Huntersville: Room to Breathe, Close to the City
A plan before the search. Your numbers, your town list and your offer plan are settled before you tour, so you can move quickly without moving blindly.
Buying a Home in Huntersville: The Trade
Buying a home in Huntersville is for people who want to be close to Charlotte without living in Charlotte. Compared with the city, you get more space and a quieter place to come home to, in exchange for a longer commute. Huntersville sits about 14 miles north, with I-77 running through the center of town and exits at Gilead Road and NC 73.
It also sits between two lakes, Lake Norman to the northwest and Mountain Island Lake to the southwest, which gives it more to do on a weekend than its size suggests.
