I know a lot of people in other states talk about retiring to Florida, but hubby and I are the reverse. We live in Florida and talk about retiring to North Carolina. I haven’t been to North Carolina in years but my husband travels there a few times a year to visit his son who is stationed at Camp Lejeune, one of the Marine Corp bases near Jacksonville. Every time he comes home from his visit he says “you know, I’d really like to live there one day”.
My husband’s retirement is still quite a few years away but sometimes I get the bug just to check to see what the real estate market is like there. We have some friends that live in the Charlotte area and I’ve decided that if we ever do move to North Carolina the Charlotte area is one of my first choices for the location.
The luxury homes in Charlotte are pretty awesome but I don’t think I would ever be happy if I didn’t live near water. I’ve been looking at the real estate market in the Lake Norman area. Lake Norman is the largest body of fresh water in the North Carolina area. Fortunately for us (we’re not rich!) the market is strong for Lake Norman real estate with options that range from ranch-style single family homes to multi-million dollar residential properties with everything in between. Lake Norman has been recognized as Money Magazine’s “Top Places to Retire”, “Top 100 Places to Live” and one of “America’s Hottest Real Estate Markets”.
Even though I have my mind set on the Lake Norman area it is still interesting to look at the Charlotte luxury homes for sale. As a matter of fact, the Weddington NC real estate market is one of the top real estate markets in Charlotte. Situated about 15 miles from downtown Charlotte, the small-town charm of this residential community along with the natural environment and community structure make Weddington a desirable place to live.
