Union

Union County unfolds like a well-kept secret just beyond Charlotte’s glare, where rolling fields meet pockets of inviting neighborhoods. In Waxhaw’s historic district, kids chase ice cream trucks past turn-of-the-century storefronts, while art-lovers browse local galleries at First Friday gatherings. Over in Indian Trail, sleek new subdivisions rise beside stands of mature pines, offering modern floor plans and backyard barbecue spaces perfect for weekend get-togethers. Golf carts and strollers share the trails at Cane Creek Park, where fishing docks and wooded pathways feel miles from the city yet remain a quick drive away. Families praise Union County’s mix of A-rated schools and community-run events—from summer outdoor concerts to holiday parades—that stitch neighbors into an easy camaraderie. With home prices that still undercut Charlotte’s and steady job growth in nearby hubs, Union County offers a refreshing balance of down-home charm and contemporary convenience—ideal for buyers craving space to grow without giving up on opportunity.
