High-end homes and a laid-back lifestyle on Lake Norman
Luxury waterfront homes, exclusive clubs and an affinity for NASCAR anchor Lake Norman of Iredell. This community, about 30 miles north of Charlotte, is comprised of several peninsulas that jet out into Lake Norman, the largest artificial lake in North Carolina built by Duke Energy in the 1960s. Josée Cherrier, a Realtor with Allen Tate Mooresville/Lake Norman, says clients looking here have deep pockets, “It’s more of your entrepreneurs, CEOs, CFOs, racecar drivers and those with old family money.” Cherrier describes the vibe of the community as relaxed but sophisticated. “There’s a lot of entertaining around the homes that are right on the lake. People take their boats to a restaurant on the water or visit friends on the other side of the lake.” Cherrier adds that Lowe’s Homes Improvement, which has a corporate headquarters in Mooresville, is the top employer in the area.

Waterfront estates near Charlotte
The median price of a single-family home in Lake Norman of Iredell is around $1.4 million, significantly above the national median. However, prices range widely, from the Modern Transitional townhouses in the Forest Lake community, which start around $375,000, to the custom multimillion-dollar estates lining the waterfront. Architectural styles include Colonial Revival, red brick traditional and farmhouse-inspired Cape Cod. Many neighborhoods, such as The Point, have mandatory homeowners associations.
Cherrier says water access is typically top-of-mind for buyers. “One of the biggest things is that if there’s not a dock on the property, you have to go through a permitting process with Duke Energy to build one. They want to make sure that the shoreline is not impacted adversely." With water surrounding most of the community, properties have a flood risk.
Lake Norman of Iredell is a great area of North Carolina to live in.

Adventure and recreation on Lake Norman
Lake Norman is a part of daily life here, offering relaxing pastimes like kayaking and fishing to thrilling water sports. “I even see boats with grills, and they’re out there grilling on the water," Cherrier says. "There are places where people gather with their boats and hang out.” Some communities have private or neighborhood docks to access the lake. Yacht clubs and marinas dot the shoreline. Hagers Creek Access Area offers public boat ramps as well as a picnic shelter and a fishing pier. Golfers enjoy water views during rounds at Trump National Golf Club Charlotte and Mallard Head Country Club. North of the community, Lake Norman State Park features tree-shaded campsites a short distance from a sandy beach. It’s also home to the Itusi Trail, which offers mountain bikers over 30 miles to traverse.
