Hi, IMO Denver is having it rebirth into a bigger town or new city but it is in the way early stages of becoming that.
The city use to be pretty much farming, rural residential and a few industries but mostly woods and select few on the lake. The life there is
typically has been quieter, with a "laid-back" and "easy-going" atmosphere. An Overview about Denver, North Carolina and the West Lake Norman Area
The east side of Lake Norman has been developed almost out so Denver due to it cheaper taxes real good school systems is now the latest "hot" spot to live in Lake Norman area.
IMO Denver is in it growth stage where Huntersville was in the early 90's so if you want to be a part of something new then this may be the place for you and it will also / is be another bedroom suburb community for Charlotte.
The fact it is in early phase of development shopping is extremly limited for the town.
Just open this past winter and spring is a very nice Super Walmart and Lowes Hardware and there is a select few restaurants.
If you are looking for a place to get away from it all then this town will fit but Charlotte is only 30 minutes away and Lincolnton and Huntersville are about 15 minutes away.
If you are looking for a home that will appreciate well within 10 years then you also might want to consider this area. That is what I did when I invested in Huntersville seven years ago.
If your looking for a home on the lake I would look into the Westport area or north of it so you can have a view without looking at the Nuclear Plant.
The town currently is unincorporated so you will have to deal with certain things related to that. No city police (you will have county but I question if the county can cover it all) Private trash service, few parks if any and you may have a septic system.
The traffic is not bad at all except around the bottleneck area around old 16 and hwy 73
The only widening of the road in that area is to the shopping centers and the new 16 that currently stops near those shopping centers.
Hwy 73 is the main east to west route between Lincolnton and Huntersville, Concord so during the week traffic can be a little heavy. Especially 1/2 mile before you reach the 73 /old 16 interchange.
If you can move to a town and look at what it might bring in future instead of what it does not have now then it will be ideal town to live in.
