Polkton, NC Multifamily Home for Sale

When Colonel Leonidas Lafayette Polk founded what is known today as Polkton, he envisioned a town that would blossom from the success that would surely follow the installation of the Carolina Central Railroad. Polk maintained his farm, but he ran a general store and newspaper print out of his home, both of which drew residents to the newly minted town. Times have changed, but farming and small-town living are still at the core of this Anson County area. “Polkton is a nice place to call home. It’s quiet and peaceful,” says Brenda McMillian, Realtor with United Real Estate Queen City, who’s been in real estate since 1998. “People have the hustle and bustle at work, and then they go home to relax, hear the crickets and see stars at night. It’s soothing to come home to rest and not hear car horns and sirens. You can get a house you want with the space you want without having to sacrifice.” Residents who don’t own a farm live close to one, and neighbors have plenty of space between each other without feeling isolated. Despite the rural setting, U.S. Route 74 is nearby and guides drivers to Wadesboro, where there are restaurants and shops, and to Monroe, which has even more retail.
