Enochville’s low-key country living 30 miles outside Charlotte
Surrounded by farmland and intersected by quiet roads, Enochville offers a low-key community 30 miles from Charlotte and even closer to Mooresville and Salisbury. Enochville locals commute around the region, but can also spend weekends at the baseball field or breweries of Kannapolis, just down the road. “It’s a small-town feel, with a country surrounding,” says Kristen Huneycutt, broker and Realtor at Lantern Realty and Development. “It’s a great location as far as convenience to several big cities, and Kannapolis is your hot spot.”
Country roads lined with red-brick ranch-style homes
Cozy homes sit on spacious lots in Enochville, where properties branch off residential streets. Yards feature overgrown trees, sheds, and chain-link and white picket fences. The outskirts of town have more farmland and open space. Cottage and ranch-style properties tend to go for between $110,000 and $320,000. Recently built New Traditional and Craftsman-inspired houses typically sell for between $320,000 and $400,000.
Students attend the Rowan-Salisbury School System
Students living in Enochville are typically zoned to attend Landis Elementary School, which has a B rating from Niche, and continue to C-plus-rated Corriher-Lipe Middle School and C-plus-rated South Rowan High School. South Rowan High is home to the Communications & Digital Designs Academy, where students can learn about subjects such as public relations, journalism, gaming design and app development.
Beer and baseball in neighboring Kannapolis
Dollar General and 7-Eleven sell conveniences in town, and Piedmont Baptist Church and Enochville Church of God are among the religious institutions in the community. Locals have more shopping and dining options down the road in Kannapolis. “Kannapolis is a little happening place right now,” Huneycutt says. Atrium Health Ballpark hosts the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers Minor League Baseball team. Fans can grab a drink at Old Armor Beer Company or dinner at Chophouse 101, next to the ballpark, before games. Kannapolis also has grocers like Food Lion and Aldi.
Plenty of recreation and family fun in Kannapolis
Families can play a round of pickleball or baseball at Baker’s Creek Park in nearby Kannapolis. The park also has a playground and picnic shelters. A breezy bike ride down Baker’s Creek Greenway connects to the Village Park Splash Pad, where kids can cool off during the hot summer months. Village Park also has a vintage carousel with hand-painted murals and lights, as well as an operating kiddie train that weaves through the landscape. Next to Village Park, the Kannapolis Branch YMCA has an indoor swimming pool, racquetball courts, a running track and a fitness center.
Commuting to Charlotte, Mooresville and other towns
Charlotte is about 30 miles southeast of Enochville, and commuters can get there on Interstate 85. The city is also home to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the largest airport in the state. Mooresville is also about 12 miles west, and Salisbury is 17 miles northeast. Both these towns are also popular commuting destinations. Atrium Health Cabarrus, about 9 miles away in Concord, is among the closest hospitals.
