Exploring Metropolitan Charlotte: The Town of Mooresville

 

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 ranges by using the resources available on our web site.

 

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.
