The 44-acre Ramsey Creek, also situated along Lake Norman, includes volleyball courts, a boat launch, fishing pier, horseshoe pits and a 3-acre section dedicated for a dog park.
A very family-friendly community, Cornelius is extremely popular for those who work in nearby Charlotte. Real estate options in Cornelius have something for every family’s needs and the small-town ambiance blends easily with the incredible growth and prosperity of the town.
Davidson
Located just north of Cornelius on Interstate 77, Davidson is the quintessential small college town. The focal point for Davidson is the historic Davidson College, a four-year liberal arts college which is consistently ranked among the nation’s top ten in academics. Davidson College, along with the town’s location along the eastern banks of Lake Norman, provides the nearly 7,000 people who call it home a unique lifestyle.
Davidson residents love living next to Lake Norman, but the presence of Davidson College adds additional recreational and cultural activities that can’t be found in other areas. Davidson College athletics, including football and basketball games, are well attended. Davidson College also routinely provides amazing concerts and performances for the public, too.
