The Lifestyle
Upscale waterfront resort living with a family-friendly, active outdoor culture. Boating, water sports, and lakeside dining define the lifestyle.
Lake Norman stretches across 50 square miles of Piedmont North Carolina, created in 1963 when Duke Energy dammed the Catawba River. Today it is the largest body of fresh water in the state and one of the Southeast's most prestigious lakefront luxury markets.
The lake's 520 miles of shoreline wind through four distinct towns—Davidson, Cornelius, Mooresville, and Huntersville—each contributing its own character to the Lake Norman lifestyle. From sailboat racing and wakeboarding to sunset dining at waterfront restaurants, daily life here revolves around the water.
