Historic town with plans to grow
Mint Hill was the first town established in Mecklenburg County. The town was settled in 1750, five years before Charlotte. The name Mint Hill comes from the original plans to build a U.S. Mint site in the area. Though the Mint was never built, the name stayed. Today, the city is a blend of history, recreation and growth.
Paige McKinney is the CEO and president of the Mint Hill Chamber of Commerce and a lifelong Mint Hill resident. She’s seen the city grow and works to support the community. “Mint Hill has experienced growth in recent years due to its proximity to Charlotte, one of the fastest-growing cities in America,” McKinney says. “The town has successfully balanced small-town charm with vibrant business activity, attracting new residents and businesses while maintaining its close-knit community atmosphere.”
The town of Mint Hill can be found just South of Uptown Charlotte.
The town hall is centrally located in the middle of Mint Hill.

Traveling to Charlotte for work
Most businesses in Mint Hill are locally owned, like consultant offices and financial services. “The community is vibrant and welcoming, with a variety of events and opportunities for engagement throughout the year. Whether you're looking to live, work, or grow your business, Mint Hill is an exceptional place to call home,” McKinney says. According to FBI data, Mint Hill’s reported crime rates in 2023 were well below state and national figures. Data for 2024 was not available.
Anyone who works for larger companies commutes along Interstate 74 to Uptown Charlotte or Matthews-Mint Hill Road to Matthews. The Charlotte Area Transit System 40x bus runs from Mint Hill to Uptown on weekday mornings and evenings. Interstate 485 leads north to Atrium Health Mint Hill Medical Center. There are few places of worship within the city, primarily churches.
Homes, both vintage and freshly minted
Around 27,000 people live in Mint Hill, and more are moving in as new homes are built in areas like McEwen Village and Ardley. “People are attracted to Mint Hill because it’s got a small-town vibe, good schools and a kind of a country setting to it, with a cute little downtown area and a town hall in the center,” says Beth Belcher, an experienced Realtor with Re/Max Executive and a Mint Hill resident of over 18 years. “You’re close to big city amenities and Charlotte, in case you want to visit and see a football game,” Belcher says.
More established neighborhoods have amenities closeby. “There are a few golf course communities like Olde Sycamore, and most of them have community pools,” Belcher says. “Cheval is an equestrian community, where they have stables and a riding facility that puts on horse shows.” Prices start in the mid $200,000s for small ranch-style homes and exceed $2 million for luxury townhouses and homes. Mint Hill’s median price is around $565,000, which is higher than the national median.
New traditional style homes in the Mint Hill neighborhood can be found around every corner.

Mint Hill really is green
Mint Hill Veterans Memorial Park is the neighborhood’s premier park. “Mint Hill Veterans Memorial Park is a beautiful community space offering recreational amenities and a tribute to local veterans, serving as a hub for family-friendly activities and town events like Mint Hill Madness and Family Fun Nights,” McKinney says.
Stevens Creek Nature Preserve provides multiple ways to learn about nature, with group classes, exhibits and a nature center. After spending time at the nature center, visitors can walk four different trails.

Celebrating the holidays and community the Mint Hill way
Events are constant in Mint Hill, from holiday events like the Christmas Parade & Tree Lighting to warmer month festivals like Tina Ross Afternoon in the Park. The flagship event is Mint Hill Madness, a four-day celebration of the town’s founding. “It’s kind of like a town festival/fair where they bring in a carnival with rides and food, and they have live music and artists who set up booths to sell their art,” Belcher says. “It draws crowds from all over the Charlotte area.” Belcher also highlights the Mint Hill Historical Society Annual Rodeo.
