My wife and I are a couple of months away from our relocation to Charlotte and we are doing a lot of research on housing and neighborhoods. From our last visit, we are very partial to the Matthews, Weddington, Indian Trail or Ballentyne areas. But we have seen a lot of houses in the Mallard Lake subdivision that are very nice. This seems to be East / Northeast of the city.
Does anyone have any input or opinions on the general area around Mallard Lake (Crime, Shopping, Traffic, general quality of life)?
Mallard Lake is a semi-rural area in close proximity to the I-485 loop. You'll need to determine for yourself if traffic noise from I-485 will bother you.
It's near to Concord Mills, the Verizon Wireless Ampitheater, Lowes Motor Speedway, and Mallard Creek/Prosperity Church on one end, and North Tryon on the other. You will have easy access to I-485.
Traffic heading inbound on Mallard Creek in the AM backs up a bit. You're better off using N. Tryon if possible.
