Known for its charming neighborhoods, cultural attractions, successful business economy, and natural beauty, Charlotte, NC is an exceptional city to call home. Encompassing an area of nearly 300 square miles, this big city offers countless opportunities for outstanding luxury living.
One of the more prominent neighborhoods in the area is Lake Norman, a waterfront community just miles from Uptown Charlotte. The east side of the lake is slightly more developed, with larger populations and impressive estate homes that offer desirable lake views.
Surrounded by quality dining, entertainment options, and artistic output, it’s easy to live a world-class luxury lifestyle in Charlotte and Lake Norman. And that ease extends to your home life, as well. Whether a luxury lifestyle is your norm or you just want to experience it for a day, here are five luxury services that are easy to find in Charlotte and Lake Norman, NC.
