New Charlotte Home Search- Local Search PLUS Community Information and Photos

A Complete Real Estate Search Site is here~Search the Greater Charlotte area by area. Each area of Charlotte is in a different color, each house is a Search Site with Homes, Luxury Homes, Condos AND Community Information, Photos and additional links

Each Yellow House contains an area home search link, a luxury home link, a condo link ( in most cases), a photo link, and specific community information. The home search links will search only the specific area, or in some cases part of the area by zip code. If you prefer, the same links are in a table below the map. On the Home Search Links, you may map your choices by scrolling to the bottom of the page and click on the left "Map Properties". You may review the summaries, compare areas, and if you are here for the first time and you request listing details, after a bit the system requests an email. No worries, you get logins and no one will bother you here. Nada. It is safe. We will be adding more and more Charlotte features to the map. The green picnic tables are major parks, helicopters are airports, golf guys are golf courses (there are more, send in your link), school houses are Colleges/University's. For some reason I'm having trouble keeping the Google map live on this blog, so I posted the screenshot below. It is much better live, and you can see it on my local blog here Charlotte Search Map

The links in the table below are captured directly from the map above. We are working on more advanced map mashups as we speak. Each link's to a specific search, photo album, and community information from CCOnline. The first line is for a total wide area search and you can search any listing type from this window. So, go ahead and give it a test drive. I think you'll find this map or table the most complete home search, community search and community information guide on the Internet for Charlotte NC. On the Home Search Links, you may map your choices by scrolling to the bottom of the page and click on the left "Map Properties".

Charlotte Cost Of Living- "Objectively Affordable"

New Homes at Lake Wylie For Under $400,000

Ryland Homes, OVER 3800 SF New Homes for Under $400K at the Palisades!

By now, just about everyone in Charlotte knows The Palisades, the country club with resort style amenities on Lake Wylie, just 25 miles from Uptown Charlotte. There is a natural beauty in the 1600 acres of rolling hills, tall trees and their visible commitment to Audobon International's Green Community designs...

But it is the amenities most folks remember the best- and what amenities! Miles and miles of paved biking trails, walking trails and unpaved horse trails... then there is the Tim Wilkinson Sports Center- a fitness center plus 7 Tennis courts, plus the only grass court in Charlotte, home to the Jim Courier Tennis tour (see below) Plus a resort style pool, a Nicklaus designed championship golf course, soccer

fields of Charlotte United Futbol, an on site private school and an on-site public elementary coming in 2010. Site of Homerama '08 (see below),it made my Top Ten New Home Community List in 2007. In time it is the next Ballantyne, developed greener in a more natural setting, and made more affordable by the variety of neighborhoods. For more information find out why I named the Palisades to Terry's Top Ten Communities in 2007, or when it was announced they'd sold the most homes in Southwest Charlotte in 2007.

I've a client from Minneapolis with 2 children, the husband has accepted a territory in the Carolinas, and his company would like him to live in Charlotte. His wife found me on the Internet- where else? And they called last weekend. We took one day and did a rapid survey of South Charlotte and Union County, they liked much of what they saw, but we had talked about the Palisades, and their desire for an "outdoor" lifestyle-after all its one of the reasons they want to move to Charlotte: their family loves to walk, hike and explore- loves golf, they own a boat and two kayaks--with that in mind I told them they had to consider the Palisades in southwest Charlotte.

And off we went to the Palisades and they fell in love almost immediately. Ryland, had several floor plans of interest but the one they liked the most- the Rossendale, isavailable with a 3rd floor bonus - they want that as an office for her husband, and theythe palisades ryan home under 400k loved the big bonus on the 2nd floor, large master and very comfortable greatroom-eat-in kitchen- kitchen area. We were helped by an extremely knowledgeable on site (builder) agent, and shown a few lots, some were quite "buyable."

The Ryland Rossendale (house) on above, with first floor hardwoods, a third floor, stainless and granite in the kitchen, with the $25000 free option promotion keeps the price around $390,000- including paying your $13K initiation fee for a social membership at the Palisades Country Club.

For the rest of the story

-------------------------

It is a strong buyers market here in the greater Charlotte area, in the Palisades as well, for new homes and re-sales. Custom homes start in the Palisades from the 700's and there are a couple of great values in the mid 1.5M range. Thinking about buying a home in Lake Wylie? Lake Norman? Or Charlotte?

Reflection Point on Lake Wylie- A Diamond in the Rough?

Waterfront ranch home at Reflection Pointe Charlotte NCReflection Pointe in Belmont sits high on a bluff, overlooking Lake Wylie, across from The Sanctuary--

with big water views and a gated sanctuary of its own with heavily wooded lots and rolling hills- Reflection Pointe has over 350 lots, nearly 150 on the water (a real Waterfront community on Lake Wylie) with some of the very best waterfront on Lake Wylie. Big channel views facing south, add a massive and gorgeous clubhouse, pool, lighted tennis course and miles of walking trails and you'll begin to get the picture. But it doesn't stop there. There is lake access for the entire community from the beach or marina, and with no time frame you are required to build, this is a community you can buy now, bring your boat, enjoy the lake and build later. Like everywhere, it is a buyers market, and there are deals to be had. Reflection Point in Belmont is exactly 20 miles and 30 minutes (non-rush hour) from Bank of America building in Uptown Charlotte. Travel to Uptown Charlotte via I -85; this western side of the city has the widest Interstate entering Charlotte and is most likely the least traveled of any Charlotte Interstate, plus it has the convenient alternative Rt 74 running parallel for the bad days. It is just 10 minutes to historic Belmont. The trump card of the commute is the proposed 321-74 parkway, the proposed (advancing) Garden Parkway toll road that would connect just north of Reflection Pointe and take travelers directly- about 5 minutes or so to RT 485, placing high quality waterfront property just 20 minutes to Uptown... a precious gem indeed. High quality custom homes are available now- as are some great lots. More on that in my next post.

Custom Homes at The Sanctuary in Charlotte NC|Luxury Living at Its Best

Waterfront at The SanctuaryCustom Home Communities Of South Charlotte

This is the establishment--if folks ask me for South Charlotte's most exclusive custom home communities, we would look at The Sanctuary, Longview, Skyecroft and Highgate. There are many others along Providence Road, and some exclusive sections of Ballantyne... also newcomers like the Palisades have a lot to offer in the way of lifestyle and amenities (I've written about the new homes at Palisades here)... but this post is about the first of the "blue chips, " The Sanctuary- the blue chips south of Pineville-Matthews road, south "south" Charlotte. The Sanctuary in Mecklenburg County, and the other three are in close-in Union County.

The Sanctuary, what's in a name? The folks at Crescent Communities, Charlotte's premiere waterfront developer, would have you believe Everything is in the name... after you look at the slide show below, you may feel the same way. Each time I visit, it feels more and more like a neighborhood with a feeling of serenity like no other. The Sanctuary are on estate lots, from 2.5 to 10 acres, most will accommodate more than one home. 188 Homesites on 1300 acres of land, figure it out! The land is hilly and densely wooded, 3 separate streets makes up the Sanctuary joining Shopton Rd to the water. The land is interconnected by more than 20 miles of paved sidewalks and mulched hiking trails.
