Charlotte Real Estate| Union County: Steal A Home in Anniston Grove

Make an Offer in Anniston, Custom Home, 3800 sf Listed for Under 500K
Union County is the fastest growing county in North Carolina, but still has that rural feel. Despite some signs of growing up- the Target at Wesley Chapel for one, Weddington and its neighbors Indian Trail, Wesley Chapel, and Waxhaw, are growing up and growing together. A staple has been the all brick custom new home community, and Anniston Grove, off of Waxhaw-Indian Trail Road is just such a neighborhood. Relatively larger lots- 1/3 acre and up, heavily wooded lots that provide privacy and a degree of separation not found on the “farm” lots (former farmer fields)favored by track builders, and all brick custom homes by many of Charlotte ’s better builders, create a community just too pretty to fail.
But Anniston has a timing problem, quite a problem in fact. Anniston Grove is a victim of this housing market. Begun in the latter part of 2005, roads and sewers went in and homes began sprouting out of the ground in late 2006. 2007 came, families moved in and more homes were started… and then the slowdown hit… The national bear housing market reached Charlotte 18 months after it started in Florida, and its wreaked havoc on Anniston Grove, with 21 homes for sale now, most never lived in.
This home features a master on main, a side entry stairway to 3 bedrooms and a bonus upstairs, a sideload 3 car garage, all granite counters kitchens and all bath’s, cherry cabinets, 9′ ceilings up and down, stainless appliances, coffered great room, all on a .36 acre flat corner lot. And this builder never quite finished this home, so the bank took it over and at our suggestion went ahead and fixed the few issues that just weren’t working
Anniston Grove is on the edge of town, but in the middle of popular Union County– a few minutes from Indan Trail, about 10 minutes from the Siskey YMCA in Matthews, or 10 minutes to RT 16, AND with three different routes into town- via Monroe Rd, Weddington Road or Providence Road– makes Anniston Grove a sensible and serious community to day and in the future. Its central location will only improve with time.

Davidson, NC- A College Town with Style
July 5th, 2008 Categories: Charlotte Community Reports, Davidson
Almost everyone knows the Davidson Wildcats, but not everyone know how well home real estate is appreciating…
in Davidson. I’ll write more about Davidson appreciation in my next post, but first why not have a look at why you might want to live here. Davidson sits astride popular Lake Norman, and is part of what I call the Lower Lake Norman area–Lower because it is closer to Charltote, and still a possible commute to uptown for work. Enjoy this post by Kelli Robinson
I’ve always enjoyed college towns. The mix of people, places, and things creates a cultural hub that’s fun to explore. Davidson, NC, located off of Interstate 77 exit #30, is no exception. The town gets its name and personality from Davidson College, a small liberal arts college in the heart of downtown. What’s neat about the Town of Davidson is the fun it offers everyone.
The kids and I visited the town last week and again today. I had read about a cool sandbox park that I thought they would enjoy, and they definitely did. Caldwell Green Tot Lot is an enclosed grassy area with a huge sandbox that is partially covered with a canopy. Despite the heat, my son and daughter dug tunnels and built castles for almost an hour.
After a picnic in the shade, I treated them to milkshakes at The Soda Shop on Main Street. Every small town Main Street has its resident diner; and Davidson is no exception. Opening in 1951, the restauant’s claim to fame is the variety of milkshakes and real fountain sodas. The burgers, sandwiches, and homemade sweet potato chips aren’t too bad either!
This week the Davidson Public Library hosted an event, Northern Folktales on the Green, to kick off its summer reading program. Stories, crafts, and songs were the main attractions, as well as people dressed in 16th century European attire. My daughter enjoyed the stage performers, and my son enjoyed making a medieval wishing wand. By the way, the Village Green is literally a greenspace located at the center of town along Main Street. It plays host to events throughout the year, including Concerts on the Green and Art on the Green.
This summer the Town of Davidson has organized a Farmer’s Market that operates from May until October. The Davidson community has an earthy, grassroots feel to it, likely a reflection of the liberal arts college. It was only a matter of time before a Farmer’s Market found it’s way here.
Speaking of the college, don’t overlook the opportunity for wonderful - and inexpensive! - entertainment a college campus can offer. If you don’t follow college basketball, you missed this year’s Cinderella story of the Davidson Wildcats, who made an impressive appearance at the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament in March. My husband and I took the kids to a game this past winter and had a blast. If art or the performing arts is your passion, the college offers music, plays, and art exhibits for the public at reasonable prices.
If you’re in the mood to explore new territory on a summer Saturday, try the Town of Davidson. Check out the Farmer’s Market. Lounge on the Green in the Adirondack chairs provided. Browse the unique shops, and enjoy lunch at one of the Main Street eateries. If you still have room for dessert, a Soda Shop milk shake or Ben & Jerry’s sundae hits the spot. Then take a walk around the picturesque campus. Sounds like a nice outing to me!
