In scenic northern Mecklenburg County, sitting alongside the glistening waters of Lake Norman, you will find a remarkable community known as Cornelius, North Carolina. Cornelius has a long history and rich heritage dating back to 1893 when it was founded. The area was settled by cotton growers who moved south of Davidson because they opposed the hiring of a cotton weigher. This ended up being an advantageous move, as many area farmers were unable to travel north because of the poor condition of the roads and ended up doing business with those that had settled south of Davidson. Eventually, this led to the construction of a mill, and the investor that brought the mill to fruition was none other than J.B. Cornelius, the town’s namesake. Cornelius was incorporated in 1905, and sometime later Lake Norman was created by damming the Catawba River. The creation of the lake resulted in further growth and development in the area and the added allure of seventy miles of lakeside real estate. Today the community is home to nearly 29,000 residents and a long list of impressive amenities sure to appeal to prospective homebuyers.
Among the desirable features enjoyed by Cornelius, residents are the ten public parks, including the 104-acre park that overlooks Lake Norman. Known as Jetton Park, this scenic area encompasses a small beach, beautiful trees, a picnic area, a trail, and tennis courts. Another lakefront hotspot is Ramsey Creek Park. Here you will find opportunities to fish, boat, and play sand volleyball. The park also includes a picnic area and playground for children. Though not a waterfront destination, the 66-acre Bailey Road Park is popular as well, offering trails, picnic areas, and a playground too. Other recreation destinations include the 18-hole championship course at The Peninsula Club. The Peninsula Club is not just a course, but a splendid community on Lake Norman with picturesque views of the water and the greens. It also boasts a clubhouse and a tennis and swim center. With so many fabulous amenities in reach, Cornelius is a must-consider destination for homebuyers in the Charlotte area.
Homes for sale in Cornelius include townhomes, traditional two-story homes, ranches, old cottages, large estates, and luxury lakeside homes. Architectural styles commonly found in the community include Mediterranean, French Provincial, Georgian, Craftsman, European, and Contemporary. Many Cornelius properties are in gated communities and boast exceptional amenities. Cornelius real estate listing prices fall in a broad price range to accommodate the budgets of single professionals, families, empty-nesters, and retirees. With its abundant natural beauty and multitude of recreational opportunities, it is a great place to call home.
