Relocating to Huntersville, Between the City and the Lake
The right town before the right house. Virtual tours for qualified buyers, and North Carolina's offer rules explained before you arrive.
Relocating to Huntersville: How the Town Works
Relocating to Huntersville puts you between Charlotte, about 14 miles south, and the Lake Norman towns to the north. I-77 runs through the center of town, with exits at Gilead Road and NC 73, and US 21 and NC 115 run north and south. Lake Norman lies to the northwest and Mountain Island Lake to the southwest.
For newcomers, that position is the appeal: more space and a quieter home than the city, and a shorter drive to Charlotte than the towns further up I-77.
