Here's the WEALTHIEST Neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina
Вставка

- WOW! Some of these homes are actually empty - that means these are second and third homes!
You may not know it, but Charlotte, North Carolina is one of the wealthiest cities in the nation on a per capita basis. It’s the largest banking center in the United States outside of New York City. It’s growing super fast, and lots of affluent people are flocking to the area to escape whatever cold hellhole they made their home for the longest time.
You could drive all over Charlotte and find nice wealthy safe neighborhoods. But the WEALTHIEST part of the Charlotte metro area is in an area on the northern fringes of the area - surrounding a large man made lake called Lake Norman.
Just about everyone who lives in this part of the metro area is well off. Most are at least upper middle class. Many are multi multi millionaires.
For this drive, I toured a community on the southern edge of Lake Norman - a place called Cornelius. You probably haven’t heard of it before. Many people in North Carolina haven’t even heard of this place. You can understand why - there’s no reason to be here unless you LIVE here. But man, some of the neighborhoods I toured here were just fantastic.
In a little bit, we’ll be joined by a real estate agent who lives in the area and knows Cornelius well. But for now, I’ll set the tone. Let’s begin with - you can’t afford it here. There’s a really good chance you’ll never be able to afford to live along the banks of Lake Norman. Heck, even somewhat wealthy families can’t buy a home here.
The average cost of a house in Cornelius proper is about $450,000. But those include many of the regular homes that are not along the banks of this lake. There’s about 30,000 people here total, but only a few hundred dot the landscape we’re currently touring. If you look at a map of homes that have sold recently, you’ll see that every single one of them is at least $1.5 million. Look at that map. All of them are million dollar homes or more.
The ultra rich in Cornelius make $800,000 a year on average. That’s not even doctor or lawyer money. That’s CEO, professional athlete, old money. These people live a lifestyle you will likely never experience. And what’s interesting is that many of these homes looked empty, as if they’re only a second or third home. To say it’s conservative here is an understatement.
The people who own these homes have lake access. Many have fancy boats to go along with their brand new SUVs. They shop at overpriced shops and dine at super fancy restaurants. Their dog park has a damn bar in it. Summers are an elite rendezvous. It’s very safe here and many of the kids who live here go to the best schools.
This whole region north of Charlotte is loaded. It’s North Carolina’s version of Orange County of the Hamptons. Davidson, Mooresville, Kannapolis, Huntersville, Concord. It’s a bunch of Karen and Kyles. But the richest of the rich live here in Cornelius, a small town that’s pretty much unknown among most Americans.

The best video on this topic!
This is actually refreshing to watch. I'm kind of fed up with all the darkness we are going through.
Don't get lulled by the video. What he doesn't mention in the abnormally high levels of thyroid, testicular, ovarian cancer. Duke Energy use to dump (and probably still does) tons of coal ash and contaminated water.
While Cornilius is a very nice area, most us from Charlotte don't really consider that "Charlotte". There are million dollar homes in many areas of Charlotte proper. Myers Park/South Park, Ballentyne and even some in the Steele Creek/Palisades area (see The Sanctuary or the border next to Lake Wylie)
Median houshold income is 90k how is that rich?
@@AndrewLaMonica1 I live right by the Sanctuary and some of them I’d say are even bigger than those in the South Park area
And Marvin Creek, Waxhax NC
@@alexj4934 ive delivered to many of those houses in the sanctuary and every time all i can do is shake my head and say WTF!! .. smh ridiculous how insanely huge MOST of those houses are
No place in the Charlotte area has Mansions like you see on Lake Norman though.
As a born and raised Charlottean, Cornelius isn't Charlotte. Neither are Mooresville, Denver, or any of the far north lake communities. The wealthiest areas in Charlotte proper are Eastover, Myers Park, Quail Hollow, Piper Glen, Ballantyne, most neighboorhoods on the far south side of Providence Rd, and an honorable mention to Dilworth which isn't mega mega rich but still up there.
Don't get me wrong, Cornelius is a beautiful area, as are a lot of the other communites surrounding Charlotte, but I tend to think of Charlotte as being inside of the 485 loop.
Exactly! Eastover, Myers Park and Dilworth is what you call old wealth.
You sound like someone living in the 5 borough of NYC telling Albany & surrounding areas they not New York. When I 1st moved to NC I lived in Mooresville 15 minutes outside Charlotte and it’s definitely apart of Charlotte. Lake Norman was right down the road & becoming quite wealthy. As with Lake Royal. Everyone don’t want that fast pace life and choose to commute
Mecklenburg
@@WhiskeyBonnet Albany is like 2 1/2 hours from New York City. That's like saying Raleigh and Charlotte are the same place just because they're in the same state.
If someone were to say "I'm from Albany, right outside of NYC", that would make complete sense. In the same way that if someone said "I'm from Mooresville, right outside of Charlotte" would make sense. Mooresville is 30 miles from town. Same with other surrounding cities. Gastonia? Not Charlotte. Monroe? Not Charlotte. Albemarle? Not Charlotte. Rock Hill? You get my point...
I don't mean to sound like I'm gatekeeping. I could care less where anybody's from, whether they like to commute or not, what surrounding city they live in, etc. Hell, it's more economical to live outside of Charlotte in todays market. I'm just saying that for people who grew up in the metro area, more than a few miles outside of 485 was different territory.
@@WhiskeyBonnet no it isn't
Definitely need more of these videos. A compare and contrast between the richest and poorest in each state would be a good idea.
Yes I'm traveling right now doing just that Sean. You should see the mind blowing contrast in Palm Beach County FL
@@NickJohnson hey come up north ny new Jersey pa ma
@@NickJohnson lol I love palm beach county but yes, out west in Belle glades and pahokee it’s basically pure poverty
@@NickJohnson I used to live in Palm Beach ⛱
Cornelius is where the second homes for homeowners in Myers Park, Marvin/Ballantyne, & Quail Hollow are.
That Marvin area something nice I can dig it Waxhax as well Millbridge neighborhood
Agreed with 3rd homes likely being in Asheville, Boone, or Blowing Rock.
Longview in weddington should e on list
And they like their Cornelius home more.
Thanks Nick. I grew up living on the Denver (NC) side of Lake Norman. There is a place on the lake where residents have a landing strip for their planes. It is a gated community. Thanks for sharing.
Denver is a much nicer 'community' than Lake Norman/Cornelius. Just helped a buddy sell his house last year on the lake there that rented out for 10g a week. I live by Mt Island Lake/Overlook. Much less populated area, but who knows how long that'll last. Still it's the area of Charlotte that's been last to be tapped.
As a native Charlottean still living here I would have thought Piper glen, quail hollow, Myers Park and all of the South side would have been the most wealthiest homes. Cornelius is way outside of the city limits.
I agree!!
with less traffic it's far more desirable. Cornelius is in Mecklenburg county. (LKN resident here)
I think Eastover is the wealthiest
Anybody from Charlotte now Eastover is the wealthiest neighborhood. It has a old US Mint in the middle of the neighborhood !
I agree! I’m a native to Charlotte as well, along with my parents and their parents. We live near Myers Park area and there’s so massive homes around there especially near queens road etc. I’d think those areas were the most wealthiest as well. ( we got lucky when we found our house lol ) I have friends in Cornelius area and they aren’t poor but they aren’t filthy rich by far. Interesting hearing this.
I died when he said CONKERD… lololol it’s CON- CORD… 🤣🤣🤣
NC is one of the best states to live, you have mountains to the west and beaches to the east
My mom does uber eats and I sit in the back seat and OH MY GOD I love looking at the nice houses! And they leave such good tips! Mom once got 40 dollar tip in cash.
Aww ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video Nick
I dont know why anyone who was a millionaire would want to live in a McMansion with your neighbors 10 feet away. I'd want a few acres and a big house, pool, etc. Also Nick I thought the wealthiest area around CLT was Weddington area and some off lake Wylie?
Agreed. If I'm going to spend that amount of money, wouldn't want a neighbor being able to look in my window from their house.
Lol... looking in your window. Yeah like the row houses in big US cities up North where the neighbors are literally 3 feet away seperated by a little alley to walk to the backyard. Except on a larger scale.
A lot of the backyards aren't shown, most are actually quite big
I was just thinking too while re watching this that these people do this because they get more bang for their buck. 1.5 million is a regular house in log island not a mansion on a lake. So I see why they do this even more
If I was wealthy, I’d live in a flat in Lisbon, Portugal but that’s just me. Lol. Everyone is different 🤷♀️
“Even their dog park has a bar in it.” I laughed but should have cried at that.
it's true lol 😂😂 I love nearby
wow
I’m in this neighborhood it’s called the peninsula on a golf course called the peninsula club very quiet and friendly community within, and a bit rude to Insinuate that somebody would never be able to afford a home there… anything is possible for anybody as long as they put their mind to it
EXACTLY! limiting beliefs are not good !
Love these videos
@NickJohnson This is a great view of the Charlotte area. I will tour this area next time I am in Charlote. Thanks You for the detailed prospective.
Excellent content. You got yourself a humble subscriber
Thanks...great job u do!
I love watching your videos, they are so entertaining!
We purchased a house at the NC coast. I was determined to get a home on the ICW, until! We were moving from central NC and selling our 32 acres. We starting coming down looking at homes and every available ICW or canal home had a neighboring house very close. One we really liked on the ICW, we walked through the house and my wife and I both thought, this is the one. We went out back to check out the pool, boat dock and lift to see the lady next door peaking through the bushes watching us the entire time we were in the back yard. We backed off the waterfront idea mainly because the ICW homes had houses very close, canal homes had neighbors with 15'-20' on each side. We kept checking and found a custom built house on several acres of land, a few miles inland. I would love to be on the water with the boat at the dock, but we both knew we would be miserable having neighbors that close when we had lived on 32 acres without a house in sight for 15 years.
Love the slow driving.... it gives a nice view
My ex-girlfriend lives in Charlotte and thinks that Ballantyne and Olde Providence according to her were the richest neighborhoods in Charlotte. I would also add Eastover in the mix just by what I saw on Google Maps.
sounds about right
Myers Park very wealthy, old money
Definitely Ballantyne
I was raised in the Providence road/HWY. 51 area. Definitely the most affluent in Charlotte is Eastover, with Myers Park following a close second.
Back around 20 years ago
Nice conversation and nice meighborhood.
I can't imagine retiring to a large home. My dream is to sell our current house, and get a condo on the water somewhere. Nice views, no yard maintenance, a small community in the building...
Me too!
I love this channel
Me too
Amazing video as always!! BIG fan :)
I'm a big fan of YOU too!
I lived in Lake Norman for most of my life. It is amazing there, a perfect place to grow up or raise a family even if you are lower or middle class. I love the area and hope to return someday.
Lake Life is amazing! Smith Mountain Lake in VA is amazing!
Wow, I have watched and enjoyed a few of your videos, and was watching the "worst ghettos" one just now, when lo and behold, you have posted a video on Charlotte, city I mainly grew up in, within the last minute, allowing me to be both the first to view and the first to comment. Our family came to Charlotte in 1974, when I was five. In the 70s, there was no downtown (Uptown) nightlife, and one could almost imagine tumbleweeds rolling down the empty streets. I grew up near Myers Park, though not in it; closer to Freedom Park actually, on Willow Oak Road. My dad got a great deal on a good house with 6 1/2 acres of land that at one time had been part of the Billy Graham family farm, in 1977 for $35,000 (!!!!). It was "grandfathered" in to an arrangement where we could own horses, right in the middle of Charlotte. Little Sugar Creek was the final boundary of the back field, and we camped out there and made rope swings and cooked on an open fire...good times. By the time we left, my parents in 1999 and I in 2007 (to be near them), Charlotte was getting too big for our tastes. That little farm we had got bought by a Heinz heiress and a few years later turned into an upscale condo sort of thing...We live in Kilmarnock, Virginia now (look that up), except for my brother who is a PhD Biologist working in Arkansas, and my sister who lives in Pittsburgh. Saw the street she lived on for a while in the worst ghetto video...she is doing fine though, if not exactly affluent...
...oh yes, you got a sub, just out of respect, for this.
Funny thing is, I was working at getting the grammar and such in my comment right, and now that I am actually watching the video, I see that it is about the Lake Norman area and not about Myers Park, richest neighborhood in the city itself. Cornelius is NOT Charlotte! We of course visited Lake Norman, but it is not Charlotte proper.
How is it out there? Might seem like an odd question, but what is medical care like out there? Mental health?
@@DeaDiabola Well, on Lake Norman, you are still very close to Charlotte, which is a big city and has everything!
Beautiful houses out there :)
Beautiful homes 🏡… Hugh different from the lakes I’m uses to!!!
Hi, Nick! One way of living that type of lifestyle... vicariously, was working in those residences. My forte was housecleaning and landscaping. Something to do after my retirement from law enforcement and the military reserves. On the cusp of starting a business, I became physically disabled. Meh. Life goes on with or without me.
Aww. You're wonderful.
Your screenname is dope
Hey Nick and Mappy Love 💘 ❤ 💕 ♥ 😘 💖
I drive Uber nights and weekends and dropped passengers off in this very neighborhood. I was blown away by these beautiful pieces of real estate surrounding the lake.
Many of the mega mansions are 8 feet from their neighbor......weird.
Even here in cold, mountainous norther New England, I've noticed bigger and fancier homes springing up amongst the old lake cottages, which one by one, get bulldozed and replaced by something much bigger and fancier. And I hardly see anyone when I walk by with my dogs during the colder months, which means these are almost all vacation homes.
Beautiful houses
Thank you!! I live him & going to assume Ballentyne or providence road area before I watch
I actually live in the peninsula! I'm doing this on this account so that I don't leak any personal information that could lead to someone online finding where I live and all that, but I would like to share some insight on what a lot of people are saying, and clearing up some of the things he said in the video that aren't very true
2:48 This is all about true, except for one big exception, public schools. Cornelius Elementary and JB Washam Elementary are extremely underfunded and apparently now are overcrowded. Cornelius elementary has an "agricultural" building from back when they taught that that has been caved in since they stopped teaching that, there are dozens of trailer classrooms around the school with broken ACs, and all their systems are still on windows 7. I don't know about JB but i'm guessing its in a similar place
5:26 not a mistake said but a sad little story. The person who owned this house was a Romanian who was a national level dog breeder who made tons, and when I lived around the flying jib area(this street) we used to go play with his puppies he had before he got them bought. He had really bad depression since his business was slowly failing and I believe his own dog had recently died, and he killed himself. The bank still hasn't put the house on the market though.
"I wouldn't want my millionaire neighbors 10 feet away from me"
2 parts of this one, millionaire and 10 feet away. Just about everyone here is super nice except for some snobby kids around the front of the neighborhood(peninsula club drive is where all the trust fund kids are). I would say on any given day only about 2/3 to 3/4 of the houses are actually occupied, and many people here are workaholics and work very long hours, such as my mom who works about from 8-7ish, so many are barely home. As for the millionaire part, not everyone here is rich. If you look at the players ridge and east shore areas there are pretty middle classed sized homes.
Nobody cares to find out where you or anyone else on LKN live or eat or sht tbh. It's not Malibu or Solebury, or Bal Harbor for shitz sake.. haha
I’m from union county in NC. lived in a small rural house surrounded by rich rich neighborhoods. A home in these new developments is like 1.5-3mil. The Marvin Ridge school district in union county is insanely wealthy. Neighborhoods like sedgefield…Longview.. so on.
I used to party in Lake Norman every chance I got. That was 35 years ago, before a lot of those neighborhoods popped up.
The town Cornelius should change its name to Cornelius Vanderbilt. 🤣🤣🤣
Jacksonville FL is out of control growing, building, housing costs skyrocking... I have been in NC for 19 years and absolutely love it.
Jacksonville is terrible... like literally it smells bad... crime is horrific... but JAX has never grown as fast as Charlotte and is much smaller in comparison. I have family in St.Johns. Its similar to Cornelius and Davidson and Huntersville imo. They love it but no thx. Then again I cant live anywhere with alligators.. EVER
I live around Kannapolis and we dont need anyone esle on this side of Charlotte,thank you.
Concord here and I agree
Hahahha. Awesome! I live on the Concord/Harrisburg line and it is truly out of control. I mean homes that were 250k 20yrs ago are now selling for 5 and 600k!! What?!?
I live just south of Cornelius and it’s really a nice place to live. Moved here from Michigan where winter could stay way to long. Traffic just s sucks here now, Hwy77 should have at least 3 lanes when they redid it a couple of years ago so the toll lanes make the Spain co money while the regular lanes are stop and go daily. Friday’s on 77 are a nightmare.
Spain? Thought it was Brazil or Chile maybe... either way yes 77 is still a hot mess. NCDOT can't get their heads out of their azzes long enough to worry about much outside of the precious Triangle.
Worked on quite a few of these houses back in the day. Commuting was horrendous till they opened the I-77 toll lane. On the plus side u can be neighbors with DaBaby these days!🤣
Traffic is still awful even with the toll roads
Used to live in Cornelius. Beautiful place.
Great post, Nick. First post I've seen of yours for quite a while. No cookie cutter homes here, bro! (:^D Born in the 50's & raised in the 60's our community was the same, although not nearly as flashy! But our yards were larger and you couldn't hear your neighbors party music or their arguing. (:^D
Where have you been Gary?
Born and raised Cornelius and I'm a realtor too. That being said.... in the comments, this town is being compared to Charlotte's affluent communities. Nick does a great job covering the area of Cornelius, a lot of people have moved here since the early 90's. Hwy. 77 was a dirt road, the only exit was 28 which was a Ham and Eggs truck stop. I remember when it took 5 mins to get from one Cashion's gas station to the other, now it takes 20 mins. without traffic. I'd have loved to be the person he bounced off of in this video. Nonetheless, leave it to people to critique great work because they're views are different, he wasn't in Charlotte! Nick call me when you cover Charlotte, I'd love to tour around with you..... Stephanie Suddeth ❤️
👏👏 You are right. My mom lives on the “other side” of Cornelius as I’m sure you know where that is. Walkable to their downtown off School St. She used to love they are but now they are looking to develop on that side. With the new arts center and Antiquity, it’s not as quiet as it use to be. 😕
Beautiful. Clean.
Never thought of NC before but this area is gorgeous. IMO Greenwich CT, Darien CT, Short Hills NJ, Alpine NJ and Great Falls VA are some of the best neighbourhoods ever. Dreaming to live in one of them one day.
I live in Charlotte but close to the Huntersville line, we are in Cornelius a lot. it's a nice place, there's still some middle class families but they've been here a while! you have to have money to live here now, that's for sure! lovely area though.
Everything is expanding. Many are moving down to York, SC to keep up.. it's considered to be apart of the Greater Charlotte area in NC.
The western side of the lake, places like Denver, has exploded as well. Busy, congested, and expensive….by NC standards IMO.
NICK, LOOKS LIKE YOU MISSED ANOTHER AREA ON LAKE NORMAN CALLED “ THE POINT “ WHICH LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO THE $2 MILLION & UP HOMES YOU ARE SHOWING ON YOUR WELL DONE ARTICLE ON CORNELIUS. OUR DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW LIVE THERE AND IT IS EQUALLY GORGEOUS.
Charlotte’s traffic os terrible. When she sats it is a short hop onto I77, there is no quick driving there.
The South Carolina side of Charlotte is the most affordable and underrated. Rock Hill is nice and only 18 mins from Downtown Charlotte
Please no lol rent and property tax is starting to go up here we don't need anymore people.
Yes please keep this a secret we don’t want people moving here….
Use to live 2miles form Lake Norman in Mooresville. It's really nice there, but the traffic is the worst.
Charlotte is perhaps only second to Atlanta as the ultimate sprawl city. There was only 150,000 people in the city in 1950 now there are 3 million.
@@blackcherry6877 metro Atlanta is about 6 million people much larger than Charlotte 2.7 million. The city limits are somewhat arbitrary and given to historical chance. For example inner city Charlotte has 300 square miles and Atlantas is only 130 square miles so of course it’s going to have a higher population. It’s better to consider the metro area when comparing cities size. Both are very sprawled cities with low density suburbs stretching dozens of miles in the distance, both really started to take off in growth in the 1960s after being somewhat small and inconsequential southern cities when taken at the national level.
@@blackcherry6877 im not arguing with crime or quality of life which I don’t have any knowledge about. I’ve never lived in either city. But Atlanta is a much larger city and one of the largest in the United States. How fast Charlotte is growing it could catch up someday.
@@CheapCharlieChronicles 6.1 million now. They recently surpassed Miami to be the 8th largest metro area. According to new Census.
@@blackcherry6877 of course Chicago is on another level than either of these cities.
@@CheapCharlieChronicles Charlotte is growing faster in percentage numbers but raw growth it’s Atlanta. Averaging 75,000 residents a year.
There are tons of reasons to live here. Pro sports, proximity to the beach and the mountains, cultural outings in uptown Charlotte which is only 30min away
That area is NASCAR county! I use to frequent that area twice a week from Fayetteville! It’s nice it’s beautiful! With insane traffic! However you can afford whatever you set your mind to! If you think you can’t! Your right!!!!!
I live in Cornelius, moved here from South Jersey almost 3 yrs ago. I love it!!
Where in Cornelius?
I will hit you up for a property scouting consultancy in the next few months. I prefer good upmarket areas but not too tightly packed. I prefer a few acres and privacy.
Ok let me know!
These house are basically right on top of one another, hopefully you get along with your neighbor, I’ve seen in both Oregon & Utah neighborhoods that would blow your mind! When you have a home that big or bigger but add 15-50 Acres of land then you seen the real deal
Marvin is the wealthiest has the highest median income, This city was incorporated on July 1, 1994, and is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Carolina, even though it only covers approximately 6 square miles. Additionally, it is close to Charlotte and Ballantyne. Yahoo! Has named the city the best town to live in North Carolina for two years running. Moreover, it has the highest median income for the state. Education in Marvin is something that also sets the village apart. It has three of the state’s best high schools: Cuthbertson High School and Marvin High School.
I live in Davidson. Love it. Nice country town. Moved from the north
Davidson is definitely the best town in N.Meck hands down. Homes are actually selling for a bit more in Davidson right now then in Cornelius. Davidson is just that quaint little place with smart open minded folks imo. The College sealed that towns deal for life.
Please don’t tell them about Davidson. We are full. 😂
Lots of million plus homes just south of the border in Lake Wylie area of SC... The SC Charlotte burbs are growing fast!
I lived in Cornelius in a very inexpensive apartment. I was always under the impression the money was in Davidson OR lakefront
The center of Greenwich Connecticut is the wealthiest area I've ever seen. There's a strip in which adjacent to each other are a Maserati dealer, a Lancia dealer, and a Lamborghini dealer. Residents of downtown Greenwich sneer at Ferrari.
Lol.... People are ludicrous. I'll take a Ferrari! Can't afford the insurance....registration....gas....upkeep.....but I'll take it!.
I live clear across the country (and was raised in LA/OC, mind you, so I have met a lot of rich douchebags) and even I have heard about Greenwich. Even if I had the money, I ask myself if I would be able to tolerate other people like that because I was miserable in the OC and people are substantially less wealthy than this by and large.
@@DeaDiabola OK, get this story. I had a middle-aged friend who teenage sons who attended the Greenwich school system. He himself was poor, his business having fallen to almost nothing due to cheaper competition. His kids DEMANDED all the top level designer clothing that their schoolmates had, but they could only wear those things once because that's what rich people do. I know this for a fact because he frequently gave me designer clothing his kids had refused to wear any more. His wife kept giving into the kids. After the kids moved out on their own, the man and his wife ended up homeless and the kids did nothing whatsoever to help their parents.
Beautiful place
I like the comment of "fancy shopping" at 21:05 as you pass a Goodwill.
There's one in every town. That's where the ultra rich shop.
🤣🤣🤣🤣💙

lived in Pineville walking distance from there

I lived in Charlotte for a while. It's a really nice place to live. In fact that whole area is nice. Even all the way down to Fort Mill SC.
About 60% of Charlotte has become crime ridden these days. Tons of shootings, robberies, assaults, etc. Look at recent crime maps for Charlotte area.
@@johnjacobs1776 that’s scaring me off.
@@rumporridge1 Did you check the maps? All red, meaning super high crime rates off the charts, for northwest, North, northeast and into South metro are mainly red. Outside the 485 beltway the highway around Charlotte ...its relatively nice and pretty safe. Not to mention all the nice restaurants, shopping and recreation. Totally different world in those areas.
@@rumporridge1 compare it to New York or Cali .. it’s safer than most any other major city

Western NC is so beautiful
Such a gorgeous house in the thumbnail. I want!
Drive down south to Lake Wylie and Fort Mill. There are some massive homes that are amazing.
I like this video ！😻😍
Lived in Mooresville right by lake Norman,...gearhead city, I miss it
I'm surprised that they didn't call the police on you. People in rich neighborhoods tend to suspect you of casing the area for a future burglary if you drive around aimlessly, or even if your car isn't expensive. Even if you're parked in front of someone's house they'll call the police to report a "suspicious person" in you have a hoopty car.
Stop making ppl paranoid where they wanna go it’s a free country .
Definitely not. All the rich talk he says in the video aren't exactly true, it is still mainly middle class people here. There hasn't been a burglary here in the last 14 years that I know of either.
I think that's more of a Tega Cay thing.
At this neighborhood everybody’s very friendly you’ll drive around and everybody will wave at you ask you how’s your day going
@@cflores32097 so the rich ain't scary?
Nick great video I don't know much about NASCAR most of the athletes and all sports are pretty good is their crybabies that make them look bad
This is a great place. I can afford one of these homes. Thank you. I am looking for a good place to live...
HOLD UP!! He knows Jack about Charlotte and even less about the metro. He pronounced CON-chord , CON-curd. That's death.
Right!!! I was thinking the same thing. It is CON- CORD for heavens sakes lol
You have to go through the city before 6am to beat the traffic. Got crazy.
So nice
Hello ,Davidson, Mooresville Cornelius are all separate cities and most people in these cities do not associate themselves with Charlotte. Lake Norman is inside of Mooresville, people who live on the lake barely associate themselves with people in Mooresville. The prices are correct, they are jacked up but what surprised me the most is that you skipped over Davidson, North Carolina which is also very expensive and have very old money. Cornelius have the most Karen's and Ken's followed by Davidson. Mooresville have a separate tax for schools. Great video!
That's beautiful I would love to live there I would love to move out the big city moved there comfortably wish I can afford that
Aw, I'd assume most of us working folks will never be multimillionaires so your not alone 😊 I just wish I could afford the insane gas prices!
Did a couple houses there and I would see some guy come in a helicopter and land on his helipad on the lake.Didn’t know it was the wealthiest neighborhood in Charlotte but thanks for the info
That's not the wealthiest neighborhood in Charlotte... That's probably ranked #6 Eastover, South Park, Queens Rd Ballentyne etc...
I have lived and worked in Cornelius in the past. Great area.
I’ve done landscaping work on a lot of the houses in this video
I used to live in Highland creek in Charlotte! We would always drive through Cornelius to get to Statesville and boy was it full of rich people lmao
One of the lake houses has a 2 story gazebo. And I mean the second floor was a enclosed room with electricity
Ok this is interesting, Cornelius is bigger than this area they are driving through. Yes those by the lake are very expensive just on the other side of 77 up and down Statesville and Old Statesville are way more affordable housing within Cornelius. Also Huntersville, Moorsville, Davidson take a look in those areas. In Huntersville off Old Statesville and Macord there is a new development with $600k price tags. Just have to look around, I do know that house prices have sky rocketed in last couple years so good luck.
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL
I wish I had a house there.😢
As a realtor in NC & SC I had never heard of these!
Well that’s not good 😂
Michael Jordan built a house for his mother on Lake Norman. Beautiful place,
Yeah his mom's house is on the lake at the Peninsula Club overlooking the the lake and golf course walking distance to the club. MJ visits often as he's a golfer. Grew up in the area from 1992 to 2020. I was young at 22 and it was fun partying and boating then tennis and brunch with the ladies on sundays. Still few friends in the neighborhood. Fond and fun memories.
Ah, this must be the "NBA player" culture one of the commenters said was making these neighborhoods more dangerous. Darn those sketchy old ladies and their generous kids!
I thought he sold it?
Your production value has grown so well. I wish you did more optimistic videos. ThNks. Been watching you for years.
Hey! It's gonna be less bad now. More interesting.
Daaaaaaaaaamn! Speeeeeechlesssss
Can you do the top 10 fastest growing cities in Texas?
I came to NC in 1997 from WV. Flat broke with new wife and 2 kids. In 1999 started a business and now own a 2.5 mil home in Davidson NC right next to Cornelius. This area is really nice but getting really busy. Charlotte and surrounding area needs infrastructure upgrades fast. Traffic is so bad in this area. Business is good here.
May I ask what kind of business you started?
@@sashaa6175 I worked in communications since I was a young adult. I mean wireless networks. Started my own and it blew up. This area is good for start ups.
@@sashaa6175 I had friends start waste companies. Blew up.
I had friends start trucking companies. Blew up.
Coffee shops.
Restaurants.
On and on. This area is vibrant.
Good to note that there are places in the US that favours start ups .
@@rosemarywacera2576 if your business fails here it’s not because of its location.
Born and raised and still live in the Peninsula in Cornelius hahah thanks for the publicity
The Pointe in Mooresville is debatably nicer than the Peninsula, the neighborhood you were driving through here
The Pointe is a TRUMP property and one day that will sink that area. But it is nicer then The Peninsula.
We rented Airbnbs here for family reunions in the summer. This place is totally worth living in, it isnt all that expensive compared to new england honestly. Food is cheaper groceries, are cheaper, and the homes that are being shown are around the same price as an unmaintained equivalent with no water access in the north.
