My husband and I are looking at this community and were wondering if there is anyone out there who lives there, or who knows it?? We work from home, have no children and want a home on the lake. We were looking at Cornelius but this community looks very nice. We really wanted a smaller home as there are only 2 of us but really want a lakefront home with its own dock. Thanks for any help in advance.
There's "The Point" and "The Harbour at The Pointe"... The Point is the step up from The Harbour with well over 100 listings to choose from between them - some being actually on the lake. Many of the homes will have dockage even if they aren't on the water.
If your only requirement is a small house on the lake, I'd suggest getting with a good RE agent. You have tons of choices and you may not necessarily need to be in that HoA.
We know we definately want Mooresville or Cornelius, I was just wanting to know if anyone lived in the Harbour but I guess it was a long shot.!
As mentioned, I am not exactly sure where you are looking. If this is on Brawley School Rd. and hence my comment above, the traffic is usually terrible at best. Even though you are not a commuter, maybe this is something you should still consider. You will also get more for your money on the westside.
What are your other requirements in a neighborhood?
Do you mind an older home that's renovated or do you prefer something newer?
Do you want a community pool in a SD with lots of kids or prefer something quieter, without HOAs and fewer kids on the block- so to speak, but maybe less cookie cutter and manicured?
If you are happy to be in a non -HOA community that's well kept you will probably find a smaller home that's waterfront within your budget (looking at the price of homes in The Harbor.
We do not have children but do not mind living in a community with lots of them. We have 2 dogs that we walk so we would like side walks if possible. We like to exercise outdoors so would love a trail or something nearby . We do not mind an older home that is renovated , we would prefer this over a new huge home with no character. We would prefer a community that has trees and mature landscaping. I have been told that the Harbour at the Pointe is a nice older neighborhood. I think the homes on the Pointe are far too big for us, very nice but not really what we want.
I should also mention that we want a dock on our property not elsewhere on the community. Views of the lake would be nice but not necessary as I would prefer some trees!
Our budget is very negotiable but I want a comfortable home not a Mcmansion. It seems like many of the communities around the lake have these huge 5000 sq ft plus homes which I am sure are great for some but are just not what we are looking for.
Lake Norman was created in 1963 and for a very long while, there wasn't much interest in it. So you are not going to find anything old beyond maybe a late 60s ranch. The vast majority of the lake was developed in the 80s and later. I recommend that you talk to a very experienced real estate agent who knows the area to find a home, in a non-planned community. Initially after the lake was created, Duke Power was selling individual lots and a house on one of these is probably what you are looking for. These lots will almost always have deep water access and a license for a dock on the property.
We lived in the Harbour for several years - no kids but just one working from home. It is a much better investment/value than the Point (as the number of homes available there implies). Given recent history, now is a good time to get in at a reasonable price. We were very happy there but opportunities took us elsewhere. PM me if you would like to discuss more.
