About Waxhaw

Waxhaw was designated as a Small Town Main Street Community (2009) and, in being such, the town counsel is dedicated to revitalizing it's downtown area.

Traditional events keep Waxhaw's Main Street historic character front and center with the old-time charm it exudes during the holiday season-with 500,000 lights twinkling, a  Christmas Parade, and a number of other holiday events that take center stage.

Waxhaw also celebrates many festivals such as the Art Kaleidoscope Festival -where the arts "Kaleid" with food, music, and crafts. Alongside the Kaleidoscope Festival is the "Art is Beer" Craft Beer Fest. Both, putting a new spin on historic downtown. Waxhaw is also home to very good restaurants & antique shops as well as a few taverns. Downtown Waxhaw has a nice children's park and a skate park good for skaters, skateboards and bicycles.

Waxhaw Parks

Waxhaw's Cane Creek Park is a substantial (and wonderful) park which has 1050 acres that surround a 350 acre lake.

It offers picnic shelters, camping, horse-back riding, a sandy beach for swimming, a bass lake for fishing, paddle boat rentals and many other activities. Here you can have a day at the lake, and it's right at your fingertips!

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Carolina Thread Trail will ultimately connect the Twelve Mile Creek Greenway as well as Cane Creek Park into it's growing system of trails.  Currently, the Town Creek Park trail (of the Twelve Mile Creek Greenway) connects to the Prescott neighborhood, giving its  residents access to the trails and the Town Creek Park. 

Optimist Park is home to the local recreational fields, and is packed with competitive sports teams throughout the year, including training those that cheer them on. For more information on Optimist Park, go here.

Waxhaw Real Estate

The downtown area of Waxhaw was once surrounded by large tracts of farm land and pastures. Today, the landscape takes on a new look, as those farmlands have turned into substantial subdivisions.

The major areas for real estate developers has been concentrated along the northern borders of Union County - at the edge of Ballantyne and Providence Road, as it makes its way South out of Charlotte.

The Waxhaw subdivisions provide you with a great selection of amenity-rich neighborhoods, featuring community pools, clubhouses, walking trails and tennis courts.

Waxhaw homes for sale come in a variety of price ranges, development styles and locations. Some of the communities are within minutes of the Charlotte border, where others can be as much as 15 miles out. Note: the closer you are to Charlotte, the higher the sticker price.

Waxhaw also has more than it's fair share of luxury communities with Charlotte's fine builders designing some of the most beautiful custom homes in the region.

Top of the line, gated communities in Waxhaw include the golf course community of The Club at Longview as well as the stunning gated communities of Skyecroft (pictured here), and Providence Downs South - all showcasing homes in the million dollar club. Beautiful.
