Lake Norman Real Estate and NC Homes for Sale

When one thinks of Cornelius NC images of gracious homes in The Peninsula and along the Lake Norman waterfront, upscale shops and services and a casual lifestyle come to mind.  But, there is a giant coming to town!

Controversial since it's inception, The Village at Lake Norman  got approval for a conditional-use permit by the Cornelius commissions back on April 24th by a slim vote of 3-2 after years of meetings with the town staff, planning board and community residents.  In May, Cornelius Bromont LLC announced it had completed the purchase of 104 acres in Cornelius for the future site of the Village at Lake Norman, the largest real estate development in the community's history.  (Not unlike Langtree at the Lake in Mooresville).

I have always thought of Cornelius as the older sister to Mooresville since it was targeted by Crescent Homes for its first luxury lake front residential community, The Peninsula (with 11 miles of shoreline on Lake Norman), about ten years before The Point in Mooresville. 

Both towns have a significant number of miles of newly developed waterfront property on jagged peninsulas of land jutting out into the middle of  the main channel of Lake Norman.  And both towns have their historic downtowns on the east side of I-77 along the old Main street/ Highway 115.
