We are relocating to the South Charlotte area in the next couple of months and will be going to look for a home next week. In the meantime, we have been looking at homes online. Does anyone know anything about the Copper Run neighborhood? Is it a completed neighborhood or just starting? Any info would be great!
It has been trying to start. The houses are beautiful, on large lots, but no amenities. Its located in Mineral springs. we looked at them, when they were priced higher. I believe the schools would be parkwood. and it will be a long time for them to be complete
What exactly are you looking for? For us, moving away from home, we wanted an established community with a pool, tennis courts, etc, and lots of kids
are you looking for new construction or a resale, or open to either
We looked at that over a year ago. There are only 4 houses built & when we drove by it about a month ago, all 4 were still available & had dropped in price so much like $50 -$75k approx. To me it's out in the middle of nowhere & there are no neighbors, so it's really lonely. At first the tranquility appealed to me, but now that I'm in a great nabe with a great sense of community I'm sooo relieved that we didn't buy there. Plus you can hear the freight train every now & then, that would drive me nuts!
Thanks for the info! That's what I guessed was going on: 4 houses still for sale, no more being constructed, out in the country with not much around it.
We're looking for an established (or nearly finished) neighborhood in the $350-$400 range. Hubby's job is in the Ballantyne area, but I'm not convinced that it's an area that we want to live. We were thinking Waxhaw/Weddington, Fort Mill, or even Lake Wylie areas. We will drive around to all those areas when we are down there next week on our "house hunting expedition"!
Do you have any specific neighborhoods that you suggest or ones to avoid? What is your opinion on living in the Ballantyne area vs. the other areas I mentioned?
Thanks everyone! We were in the Charlotte area 2 weeks ago and decided to purchase in the Waxhaw area. We did drive by Copper Run and the homes are beautiful and have nice, large lots. It felt a little to far out from the city for us, though. We saw many nice neighborhoods that look to be in a similar situation to Copper Run -- just got started as the housing market crashed and have not picked back up with construction yet. We may only be in the Charlotte area for 2-3 years and didn't want to deal with constant construction for our time here. We love the neighborhood we chose and are excited to move into it in two weeks!
