AREA INFORMATION
Where do you want to work, live and play?
Do you prefer a small town like the Baton or the Town of Catawba? Need a little more action with live music on The Square in downtown Hickory and great locally owned restaurants? Want something in between the two…maybe Newton or Conover?
Would views, beautiful fall leaves & fluffy white snow in the NC mountains fit you better?
Is waterfront living calling your name? We have great options: Lake Norman, Lake Hickory, Lake Lookout, Lake Rhodhiss, Lake James and beautiful trout streams too. If you want to go boating, water skiing, rafting or just sit on a dock with your feet in the water we are the area for you!
This is the best place to call home! Four distinct seasons, easy access to water, mountains and so much more. We hear people comment often that it is wonderful to be able to be outside 12 months out of the year and enjoy the weather.
