Union County 

Union County is located south of Charlotte: towns include Waxhaw, Weddington, Indian Trail, Wesley Chapel, Monroe and Marvin.  Many move to Union County for lower property taxes and still a very reasonable commute to business districts around Charlotte (and close to lots of restaurants and shopping). The northern edge of Union County borders I-485, making the airport and uptown not very far away. The wooded, rolling hills were once known more for majestic horse farms than homes, but many new subdivisions have supplanted many of these farms  (although there are still some spectacular ones spread throughout).  A small town charm, though, still exists, especially in Waxhaw - where the railroad tracks are located through the center of town and are bordered by a grassy strip and rows of stores on each side.

Union County has grown rapidly over the past 10 years and there are many new and newer home options available in an array of price ranges. Prices are more affordable than South Charlotte and larger lots more prevalent.

Union County Schools are excellent and three of the main high schools rated especially high: Marvin Ridge, Weddington and Cuthbertson.

Like much of the Charlotte area, it seems as if everyone who
lives in Union County grew up somewhere else, so fitting in is quick and easy.
