Gaston County Nc. Short Commute To Charlotte With Lifestyle Choices

I often hear a lot of families moving to the Charlotte area ask me about the western side of Charlotte outskirts in Gaston County like. Is it something they would want? Well each and every one of us needs and wants and desires are different. However; Gaston County is made up of a few towns neighboring Charlotte that have grown in popularity over the years and has begun a revitalization with the influx of people moving into the Charlotte area. First you have barely 10 miles from uptown Charlotte; Mountain Island Lake which separates Mecklenburg County from Gaston County. Waterfront communities and many new subdivisions have been built along with other massive development, such as the Northlake Mall. Several communities on both sides of the lake in Charlotte and Mount Holly have community pools along with boat slips. Second, is Belmont which has a revitalized downtown and renovated older homes. Belmont has a small town feeling with an easy commute to uptown Charlotte and the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. If you’re looking for a family-friendly town, Belmont might be the right choice. Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is located in Belmont and Stowe Park hosts many festivals and a holiday parade. McAdenville’s Christmastown USA is also a short drive away. Third, the largest town in Gaston County is Gastonia, which has seen a revival in the past few yearsas well with the influx of people and businesses moving into CHarlotte area. Downtown Gastonia has a Farmer’s Market, Arts On Main and many new restaurants, salons and businesses. New subdivisions were built around older neighborhoods in Gastonia letting the new mix with the old. In addition to the downtown shops, residents can shop in Westfield Eastridge Mall. Move to Gastonia where’s there plenty to do and see such as the Schiele Museum of Natural History, Adventure Landing, Crowder’s Mountain, the Gaston County Library and the local minor baseball team, the Gaston Grizzlies. Fourth, if you need to get a little farther away from Charlotte but still want an easy commute? Then Denver in Lincoln County might be for you. This little enclave is on the west side of Lake Norman and not far from Huntersville and Cornelius. It is the right place if you’re in the market for waterfront properties and golfing communities. Denver is also home to Cowan’s Ford Gold Club, which offers golf, pool and tennis. There are other small towns located just outside of there as well with a little more commute time involved in Bessemer City and Kings Mountain. These towns have kept the rich heritage of the small country town feeling and are far enough outside of Charlotte right now where the growth has not caught up to those areas yet. Regardless of where you choose to live...The west side outside of Charlotte does offer many options available to you depending on the lifestyle and what you are looking for in a home.
