Weddington may be a small town in North Carolina, but it is very prosperous and affluent, and home to some of the finest North Carolina real estate. Located in Union County in the southwest part of the state, Weddington was once a rural haven in the horse country of North Carolina, but as Charlotte has grown, Weddington has become essentially a suburb, just 3 miles from the southern boundary of the city. Weddington is largely a residential town, with just 16 acres of the town zoned for commercial use, and fewer than 7,000 people are lucky enough to call Weddington home.

The residents of Weddington have the highest average annual income of any town in the entire state, with the income for a family in Weddington averaging just over $102,000. The affluent town of Weddington is clearly a haven for families, with nearly one-third of the population under the age of 18, and the median age of adults in the town is just 38.

Though Weddington is so close to Charlotte, it maintains the intimate feel of a small town. Homes in the area are on the high end, with smaller, affordable homes starting at about $200,000, and larger, luxury homes priced well over $1 million. Some residential communities feature starter homes, with all homes for sale of a very high quality. Whether you prefer a mansion on a quiet, tree-lined street or you prefer to own your own country estate, an expert Realtor can help you find the answer you are looking for in Weddington real estate. Horse farms are interspersed in new developments with lots of an acre or more. The town is focused around the town center known as Weddington Corners, which features a supermarket, doctors, and other businesses.

Some of the most sought after Weddington real estate exists in the gated community which overlooks the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course at The Club at Longview. That course was named the best course in the Charlotte area by Golf Digest, and is just one of the many golf courses in Weddington and the surrounding area, making it an excellent area for recreation and exercise. Relocation to Weddington is ideal for golf enthusiasts and active families as well.

Weddington real estate is unquestionably beautiful, but there are more benefits to living in this area of Union County than just the fine houses. For example, the taxes in Union County are among the lowest in the state. Also, despite the higher cost of homes in Weddington, the overall cost of living is reasonable, and the school system that serves the area has an excellent reputation.

Most of the residents of Weddington do not actually work in the town itself, thanks to its convenient location near bustling Charlotte. Uptown Charlotte can be reached within 15 and 40 minutes, depending on the traffic and time of day. The major companies and Fortune 500 firms interspersed throughout the Charlotte area are easily accessed by residents of the town of Weddington. Travel is a cinch as well, with the nearby Douglas International Airport serving as a gateway to the rest of the world. In short, there is no limit to the employment opportunities available to people in the town of Weddington.
