the south western section of Iredell County, NC. While the town is within a short drive of
Charlotte, it is most often associated with beautiful Lake Norman;
and boating and outdoor recreation are preferred area activities. For that reason, spacious waterfront homes
and pricey communities with boat dockage and water views tend to define the
town.
Settled
in the mid-1700’s, it was not until the railroad came through the area that the
community known at the time as Moore’s Siding began to develop. Growth was inhibited by the Civil War, of
course, but from the late 1800’s to the early 1900.s, textile mills began to
populate the area. As the popularity of
NASCAR increased in the mid-1900’s, Mooresville was branded “Race City USA,”
and the town is now the home to more than 60 racing teams and race industry
related businesses. The town has become
the home of two automotive museums. The Mooresville Convention
and Visitor's Bureau is a good resource for visitors on town
attractions, entertainment and dining.
Housing
in Mooresville runs a full spectrum of prices from small mobile homes to
multimillion dollar custom estate homes on the banks of Lake Norman. The town’s historic district encompasses much
the commercial downtown, and many businesses are operated out of historic
structures. The reader can search the
entire MLS system for homes
currently available for sale in Mooresville in all price

The
Charlotte metropolitan area continues to experience nearly exponential growth,
and Mooresville is no exception to this.
This growth comes with some consequences, and rush hour traffic to and
from Mooresville and Charlotte can be notoriously challenging along I-77. The highway continues to see ongoing
expansion and seemingly endless construction, and those who work in Charlotte and who are considering a
home in Mooresville might take commute time into consideration. But the town offers a great variety of
attractions, recreational opportunities, shopping and housing choices. Home improvement giant Lowes
has its national corporate headquarters in Mooresville, and there is a thriving
local economy, in addition to a myriad of employment opportunities a short
drive away in Charlotte. All of this
combines to make the Town of Mooresville a very attractive choice for those
wishing to live in the Charlotte metropolitan area.
