East Side vs. West Side of Lake
Norman
Comparison of Lifestyles, Conveniences and Traffic
Lake Norman is surrounded by beautiful homes
and neighborhoods tucked into hidden coves preserving the beauty of the lake while offering a large selection of waterfront and water view properties. The
East side
and
West side of the lake each have
their advantages, with very different personalities.
The East side of the lake, including
Mecklenburg
and
Iredell counties, features the
towns of
Troutman, Mooresville,
Davidson, Cornelius and
Huntersville.
The area is bustling, with endless options for
restaurants,
shops, and
things to do.
If you prefer a more quiet, less densely populated area to call home, you may
want to take a look at the
West side of Lake Norman. In
Lincoln County, the West side includes
the towns of
Denver,
Terrell and
Sherrill’s Ford.
Both sides boast highly regarded school districts, with excellent public and
private
options.
With the booming economy in the Charlotte - the Lake Norman
area comes the associated traffic congestion. One thing you will want to
consider is the direction of your morning commute, which may very well affect
which area you chose to live.
The main thruways are:
- I77,
connecting the east side of the lake to Charlotte
and South Carolina
in the south and I40 and all points north.
- Hwy
150, crossing Lake Norman to connect Mooresville to Terrell,
Sherrill’s Ford and Denver
- Hwy
16, running north/south on the west side of the lake, crossing Hwy 150 and
connecting Denver to the 485 loop around Charlotte.
Whichever side of Lake
Norman you choose to call
home, East or West, you will be sure to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Lake Norman living offers some of the most unique and picturesque homes in all of NC. Lake Norman is a boaters paradise, sports enthusiast haven, and just a all around great place to live.
