Although one of the largest towns in the Lake Norman area, the Huntersville real estate market still offers small town charm that we all love. Incorporated in 1873, the fertile land and a rail line promoted quick growth. In the downtown area, you will still see how a main street has developed around a railway station. In the Town of Huntersville, you can feel like you are living in a small town but enjoy the amenities of shopping, luxury dining, and recreation.

Imagine ending your Friday afternoon after work and heading just around the corner for a glass of wine on a patio to listen to the best in Jazz music. Birkdale Village is an area that offers the finest shopping, dining, and relaxing enchantment in the North Charlotte area. You can park your car, grab a coffee at Starbucks, walk around on wide sidewalks, read a bit of a good book and enjoy an action packed movie. The open-air Birkdale Village offers a Barnes & Noble, Gap, Talbots, Banana Republic, Dick's Sporting Goods, movie theatre, plus an assortment of fine and casual restaurants.

Another pocket of preserved Huntersville is Latta Plantation Nature Preserve, the county's largest green space with hiking trails, picnic shelters, a nature center, an equestrian center, boating and fishing on Mountain Island Lake and the Carolina Raptor Center, which rehabilitates and releases injured birds of prey.

Huntersville also has a new family fitness center and outdoor fun park where kids can slide through tubes, spray water cannons and climb sprinkler-filled jungle gyms set inside a pool.
