Views that never disappoint
Residents who live along Lake Norman's shoreline experience bucolic waterfront views and vibrant sunsets. The lake encompasses the counties of Mecklenburg, Iredell, Catawba and Lincoln and includes the towns of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Denver, Mooresville, Sherrills Ford and Troutman. "Homes along the shoreline are the most expensive in all of the surrounding towns," says Michelle Hovey, owner/broker at The Alexander Realty Group. Hovey lives in Davidson and constantly watches market trends.
Largest man-made lake in the state
From 1959 to 1964, Lake Norman was created as part of the Cowan's Ford Dam construction and is the state's largest artificial body of fresh water. It is 34 miles long, covers 32,750 acres with a shoreline of 520 miles, and attracts visitors from all over for its water recreation.
Neighbors enjoy gathering together on the private beaches in Lake Norman communities.

The homes have garages, and the heavily wooded streets are narrow. There are no sidewalks. Many of Lake Norman's residents live within homeowner association communities.
