Lake Park, NC

Lake Park is a small, master-planned village in Union County, about 15 miles southeast of Charlotte. Developed in the 1990s, the community of roughly 3,300 residents was built from the ground up with a walkable, traditional neighborhood layout. Sidewalks connect tree-lined streets to several neighborhood ponds and lead directly to the central village square, where you will find a landmark clock tower, community green, and local shops. It has a quiet suburban atmosphere, but you are still only minutes away from shopping and dining in Indian Trail and Matthews.

Families are often drawn here by the friendly vibe and strong Union County schools. Day-to-day life is full of outdoor amenities, from walking trails around the water to a community pool, tennis courts, and playgrounds. With a straightforward drive into Uptown Charlotte along Highway 74, Lake Park is an appealing option for anyone wanting a close-knit neighborhood with plenty of charm.
