In this edition of our monthly real estate blog, we will explore the Town of Troutman. Troutman is a small town of only 4,000+ residents, located about 35 miles north of Charlotte. The exponential growth of Charlotte has made its way up to Troutman, with approved building permits indicating an increase in residents to over 11,000 in the coming year or so. The town is located in Iredell County, and combines a rural feel within easy access to a major southeastern City, Charlotte.

to Lake
Norman State Park, boating, fishing and swimming are among the
family-friendly activities offered in the community. Parks and recreation
abound, along with a Greenway System designed to allow the town to retain its
rural feel. Open natural spaces characterize
the town, and outdoor sports and activities are preferred by many residents.
The
rapid growth of Charlotte and the areas surrounding the city has caused increased
demands on its road system. One of the
complaints of residents north of the city, as Troutman and Mooresville are, is
the traffic congestion that frequently clogs the main artery to and from
Charlotte: I-77, and a home buyer who works in Charlotte but wishes to explore
the Lake Norman area as their next home is advised to drive I-77 to and from
the city to make sure the trip will not become an issue for them. Troutman, Mooresville and the communities surrounding
Lake Norman provide a beautiful option for those who wish to retain relatively
easy access to employment and commerce a short distance to the south, but the
challenges to transportation posed by the ongoing growth of the area present issues
that some might not care to deal with on a regular basis.
