Another video that speaks for itself – making my blogging life easy. Amazing how perfectly the lyrics go with the video – enjoy!

Now get out there and enjoy Charlotte’s Lake Wylie and Lake Norman – but let’s remember to be careful out there!

Fall in LOVE with Steel Creek: Convenience and Coasters Abound

November 15th, 2008 categories: Charlotte Lifestyle, Charlotte Real Estate & More, Fun for Kids

 

The beautiful autumn leaves and the crisp morning air mean that fall has come to Charlotte. Are you looking for a Charlotte community with the convenience of shopping, dining, theme parks, and easy access to the major highways so that you have time to enjoy this great autumn weather? You should check out the lower Steele Creek community in southwest Charlotte.

 

Housing prices in the lower Steele Creek area are affordable considering all the amenities in the area. The homes in the area are a mix of older, established single-family homes, town homes, and new construction. The average home price in the lower Steele Creek area is $213,985.

 

The River Gate shopping center is the unofficial town center of the lower Steele Creek community. The shopping center sits at the intersection of Highway 49 (South Tryon Street) and Highway 160 (Steele Creek Road). River Gate boasts anchor stores like Home Depot and Super Target. River Gate also includes dining options like TGI Fridays, City Tavern, and Just Fresh. New stores are opening on a regular basis so you never know what you may find.

 

 

Would you and your kids enjoy the convenience of a theme park within minutes of your home? Carowinds , a theme park which sits on the North Carolina/South Carolina border, is a part of the lower Steele Creek community. It is a 112-acre park with entertainment for all including Nickelodeon Central for the younger crowd, Boomerang Bay for water lovers, and exciting roller coasters like Nighthawk for the thrill seekers.

 

Access to the major highways is so convenient. Interstate-77 sits to the east and Interstate-485 sits to the north. West Boulevard is also an option for those wanting to get to Uptown Charlotte using a non-highway route.

 

If you are a Steele Creek resident who would like to share more tidbits on the hidden treasures of the area, your prospective neighbors would love to hear from you. If you are a prospective Steele Creek neighbor with questions about additional features of the area, we would love to hear from you as well.

Save the date! Charlotte’s Pinnacle of homebuilding HomeArama October 08

June 30th, 2008 categories: Charlotte Real Estate & More, Fun for Kids

HomeArama is the Southeast’s premier luxury housing showcase. In 2008, the event will be held at The Ranch at Palisades October 4 through October 26th.

We will have much more to say as this event draws near but here’s some tidbits to whet your home buying appetite and give you plenty of time to plan your move to Charlotte:

• HomeArama returns to The Palisades on Lake Wylie recognized as one of the most beautiful lake communities in the southeast, receiving national recognition for its environmental stewardship. Sections of The Ranch will be gated. Homes will begin at $1.5 million
• Homeowners on The Ranch will be allowed to keep horses (dogs and kids too) haha on their property. The community is centered around a private equestrian center. Residents can experience the casual affluence of the equestrian lifestyle less than 20 minutes from uptown Charlotte.
• One of the showcase homes will be a manor home featuring a two story guest house overlooking a cascading pool area. The home will be decked out with furnishings, fine art and scuplture valued at over $7 million total!
• And remember Charlotte’s HomeArama is not all about excess — the Charlotte Homebuilders Association do a really nice job of giving back through HomeArama charity fundraisers like the Gal Preview Night!

  OK, OK so you don’t have millions (we don’t either) — that’s OK do what we do go enjoy an afternoon of looking around and stealing ideas and when you get home just think how much cheaper it is to feed a dog instead of a horse!
