All Neighbors in Mint Hill's Farmwood
Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
A variety of home styles and large wooded lots characterize the neighborhood. The neighborhood wraps around Pine Lake County Club giving some lots golf course views. There are no homeowners association dues in Farmwood.
Construction began in Farmwood in the mid-1970s and continued through the early 1990s. Large wooded lots ranging from a half acre to over an acre on wide streets provide a beautiful setting for Farmwood homes. The earliest Farmwood homes were mostly traditional brick ranches, two-stories and tri-levels. Some were basement homes where the slope of the lots accommodated them. As the years passed and home styles changed, country-style homes with big friendly front porches and wood siding were built. The most recently built Farmwood homes tended to be large two-story colonials with transitional interiors.
The original golf course at Pine Lake was built in the early 1960s and was renovated in 1988 by John LaFoy, a renowned golf course designer. Five fresh water lakes and manicured grounds occupy the 155-acre club. Pine Lake Country Club also has six clay tennis courts and two hard courts. A range of tennis activities are available for men and women at the club. Swimming and dining facilities are also found at Pine Lake Country Club.
