Urban suggest area's where minorities moved into after whites moved out.
I almost choked on my fried chicken when I read this statement LOL!!! Without naming OTHER cities, I can think of SEVERAL west coast cities that are 70% white or better and are still very urban!!!
Since you seem to be focus on Huntersville it basically a new city and has developed since the mid 80's . Birkdale is only around 6 years old . Huntersville was basically farm & brick making town before someone decided it was ok to live near Nuclear plant and be near the lake so Yes Birkdale is Urban living if you come from a farm!
Huntersville population around 48k .. Crazy your debating urbanism of a small town

Sorry, but I'm originally from the NorthEast - LI - and urban suggest something different.
Well, I hope you like it here. But truly, we are a growing city . . . not a finished product. Charlotte is great if you enjoy the burbs, but if you are looking for that true urban feel, you should check out Southend, NoDa, Elizabeth, etc. It still might not be exactly what you had in mind.
Like I said - its the South. Anything not rural must be urban - at least, to many. And yes, that was facetious. I really don't know what you all want us to say about trailers being "down the road."
Nobody needs to say anything I just took it that the OP was making the distinction that the area seems rural not urban and that was an example why. He didn't like the area being marketed as urban. Anyway it's a mix, still in transition, it's the suburbs with a little bit of rural thrown in, and birkdale village is a little bit of urban like thrown in.
It reminds me very much of the area I grew up in outside of the dc beltway back about twenty years ago and I like that about this area. In another twenty years Lake Norman might be just as congested as Nova. You never know...

Good point - and didn't mean to come off as snippy - just re-read my post and it looked prickly, LOL. I was trying to say what you said - it is mixed and in transition. Very well put.

That's what everyone else said. Birkdale isn't urban. If you are a Charlotte resident you already knew this:
