Welcome to Charlotte, NC
Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest city, home to nearly 880,000 people and growing fast. Often called the "Queen City," it blends Southern hospitality with urban opportunity. Uptown, Charlotte’s bustling downtown, is where suits meet stadiums—home to Fortune 500 offices, the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets, rooftop bars, and world-class museums. On weekends, the vibe shifts to relaxed and playful: patios fill up in South End, food trucks roll into Plaza Midwood, and the Rail Trail hums with bikers and joggers. Each neighborhood has its own rhythm.
Myers Park is classic and refined, with mansions tucked under oak trees.
NoDa (North Davidson) is funky and artsy, packed with murals, galleries, and local music.
Ballantyne is suburban luxury, anchored by golf courses and top-rated schools.
South End is modern, walkable, and ideal for young professionals.

Welcome to Cornelius.
Just 20 minutes north of Charlotte, Cornelius gives you real lakeside living. Lake Norman's 50 miles of Cornelius shoreline means there’s room to actually enjoy it. It's normal here for people to recognize you by your boat’s name at the marina. Local spots like Safe Harbor Peninsula Yacht Club and Morningstar Marina stay packed with regulars who boat, dock, and dine together like it’s second nature. Think “resort lifestyle” without tourists. Cornelius feels easy and high-end:
Mornings start with lattes overlooking the lake at places like Waterbean Coffee at Jetton Village.
Afternoons are about quick fishing runs, wakeboarding at Lake Norman Wake School, or pulling up a pontoon at the Hello, Sailor dock for fried catfish tacos.
Evenings mean dinner on the patio at Port City Club, where string lights reflect off the water and the sunsets are ridiculous.
This isn’t a vacation. It’s just life here.
