Wynfield Forest, Huntersville NC Homes for sale. This was my second neighborhood that I lived in when I moved to Charlotte. I could not ask for a better place. However, after having TRIPLET boys we had no choice but to move to a larger home. At the time there were no homes that met our criteria so we ended up moving to Stephens Grove only a couple miles down the street.

The Wynfield Homes of Huntersville, NC is a beautiful and established community that offers a lovely setting for a home-buyer looking for a traditional neighborhood. The main roadway entrance curls its way through the many different neighborhoods that make up Wynfield with lined roads of trees and sidewalks.

What makes this such a unique community is that no home faces the main road. All homes are nestled on the many side streets and cul-de-sacs with wooded yards adding to your privacy. This helps prevent a lot of traffic from passing through your streets, making it a quiet and peaceful place to live for all sizes of families.

Wynfield ranges in price from $200k's - $375k and have 2300 - 3000 sq. ft. of living area. Amenities to enjoy include two swim & tennis clubs and lots of walking & bike trails, a basketball court and playground.

Some of the other local amenities for you to enjoy are the shopping options to choose from. NorthLake Mall and Birkdale Villageare a part of the Huntersville community. Close by is the University area and Concord Mills Mall. Many restaurants and other shopping centers are ever growing in this popular location.

Wynfield is made up of 3 primary subdivisions within itself and all have section names to your own private neighborhood. They are Wynfield / Wynfield Creek / Wynfield Forest. So I hope you take a look and will find this neighborhood as enjoyable as I once found it.

Charlotte, NC Real Estate is beginning to see signs of recovery and Lake And Town Realty is reaping some of the rewards.

Within the past couple of weeks we had a number of closings and our agents are still picking up buyer clients.

Here is a recent article from our local newspaper that has documented a few reasons and stats to the upswing of sales.

Low interest rates, a hefty tax credit, price discounts and pent-up demand helped push Charlotte-area home sales last month to their first gain of the downturn - and a big one at that.

Last month 2,210 houses, townhouses and condos sold in the region, up nearly 20 percent from October 2008, according to results released late Tuesday by the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association. That was the first yearly gain since February 2007, when the national housing slump began to hit the Charlotte area.

The big jump is the most robust signal yet of the local housing industry's recovery but still leaves sales below the 2003 level. The region's housing market held up for about two years into the national decline and also has lagged in the rebound. Existing home sales nationwide, for example, began rising in June compared with a year earlier.

The deadline rush helped push pending sales up more than one-third last month for MLS transactions. That's the second month in a row for a gain in pendings, which are signed contracts that haven't yet closed. They are an important barometer of closings to come.

November looks even stronger with loan closings on track to "be up well over double."

The Corkscrew Wine Bar located in the Birkdale Village, Huntersville, NC is a great meeting place for a casual night out.

Birkdale Villageis a 323,549 square foot lifestyle center located in Huntersville, North Carolina.

In addition to retail mix, Birkdale Village also consists of 320 luxury apartments, as well as 55,000 square feet of office space.

When my wife and I, are looking for a casual night out we always turn to The Corkscrew in Birkdale Village. The atmosphere is comfortable and the wine selection is great.

We love to sit outside and people watch, but the seating area inside with leather couches is very inviting. The live band is amplified just enough to carry on conversations without yelling into someones ear.

Chico's Mexican Grill located in Huntersville North Carolina is a great place to take your family for authentic Mexican food.

I have to admit that I was not the biggest fan of Mexican food but my wife Suzanne and triplet boys love it. So she introduced me to this quaint restaurant off the beaten path in Huntersville NC that I have come to really like.

The atmosphere is nice with a couple of flat screen TVs just in case I need to watch the end of the football game. Service is outstanding and very accommodating, especially when I bring the boys.

If you are tired of going to Chain restaurants please do not overlook this place. You will not be disappointed!
