We are relocating to Charlotte from Michigan and have narrowed our search down to a few communities...
Cannon Crossing
Wellington Chase (love the more level yards)
Monteith Park
Highland Creek (Masters Hill, if available)
Wyndam (all 3 areas)
Winding Walk
I think were leaning toward Cabarrus...any comments about these neighborhoods would be helpful.
We do have an 8 & 5 yr old and want an active community...close to "stuff". It would be great to have a bike trail nearby.

From what I know, Monteith Park would likely win in the category of "most family oriented with lots to do"
But really, those are all nice neighborhoods with good schools. I don't think you can go wrong in any of them.
I think Highland Creek would win if you are looking for family centric. The school is right across the street from the neighborhood you mention. There are 4+ parks and pools. Tennis courts. Side walks. People walking all day and well into the evening. The HOA has events every month. Movies in the part over the summer, holiday parades, chili cook offs, begining and end of summer pool parties, golf course, cookie decorating, summer camps and classes for kids. Just awesome!
We are coming from the Grand Rapids area...how bout' you?
Greetings! I am from South Bend, IN and I lived in Buchanan, MI (near Niles) for a year.I also used to go to Corey Lake in Three Rivers in the summers growing up.
I own a home in Winding Walk and the neighborhood is great. There a ton of kids and the neighborhood is very family friendly. The schools are top notch. The neighborhood even has a social committee and has events for the kids. They also restarted the "live at 5" in the neighborhood park on Fridays. The neighbors all get together and brings snacks and drinks to the park and the kids play and the parents talk.
My inlaws built in Cannon Crossing it's a nice neighborhood, but I wouldn't want to live directly off of Poplar Tent. At around 7-8am and 5pm it's not fun to try to get out of the neighborhood. Though, my inlaws are retired and haven't had any problems with that. Their neighbors are nice and they enjoy the neighborhood.

We came from the southeast Michigan side.
You will love the sunnier days here. I think I have had more sun in my 2 months here than I had in a year in Michigan.
Best wishes to you!
