It looks like if you go out onto one of the peninsulas to get near the water, (like The Point) the commute is more like 45 minutes. We'd like to keep it to 30 if possible. Thanks for your help. That makes me feel better about the west side. Great to hear teenagers are happy!

Wherabouts in Charlotte will you/your husband be commuting to?
It's around approx' 26 miles from Mooresville (I77 exit 36) to uptown, but then you're going to have to add on
at least another 3 miles in order to be in a lakefront community. Definitely not 30 mins from "The Point" which is at least 6 miles.
30 mins is pushing it slightly. 40 mins is possible depending on the time of the commute.Muy husbands commute from Mallard Head area of Brawley is 35-40 mins leaving at 6.40am and returning at 4.30-4.45pm.
Bear in mind that Brawley School Rd is now 4 lanes West from Williamson, so J33 is an option also as with the improvements to the intersection of Brawley and Williamson the traffic flows more freely up Williamson from J33.
Next year the new I77 J34 with Brawley will be open, which will help further.
Our son has been at Lake Norman High for 2 years now and loves it. Has quite a few friends- enough for him-and is very happy. I agree that there's more to do in the Mooresville area and generally on this side of the lake ,especially if you have teenagers.
Also not sure that there is much of a difference in real estate prices between the two places.
