A Prestigious Neighborhood in an Unspoiled Setting
Tucked into scenic, mature forestland southeast of Charlotte, yet just a mile from I-485, you'll come upon the distinctive and prestigious neighborhood of Summerwood. Located in the Town of Mint Hill-first settled in 1750-Summerwood The Cedars offers a variety of outstanding single-family home plans. Alongside breathtaking preserved lands and friendly neighbors, build the home of a lifetime.Your family will appreciate Summerwood's commitment to the environment. Unlike other subdivisions and developments in the area, Summerwood is dedicated to making the most of its natural setting. Fully 36% of the beautiful lands are conserved, with wetlands, mature trees, steep slopes, and stream beds protected. Much of the property is influenced by Clear Creek, and two shimmering lakes add waterfront appeal and sporting opportunities. There's also an inviting community pool for resident use, and miles of nature paths and trails for exercise or a family outing.
Summerwood is located within the historic Town of Mint Hill, a charming bedroom community that's still close enough to all of Charlotte's world-class offerings. Mint Hill's combination of churches, schools, recreational facilities, open space, and community spirit make it an ideal place to live and work. That also makes it the ideal location for Summerwood, whose mission includes conserving these all-important aspects of community living. Your children will also reap the benefits of attending the well regarded Charlotte Mecklenberg schools, which turn out to be as convenient as they are acclaimed: the new Mint Hill High School is less than a mile away from Summerwood.
