Like most of the other municipalities and villages that border Lake Norman, the town of Cornelius can trace much of its recent development to the presence of the more than 50 square-mile lake and its 520 miles of shoreline. For one thing, there was no waterfront real estate in Cornelius before the lake formed in the early `60s, and folks back then couldnÿt go fishing, sailing, swimming or jet-skiing anytime they wanted.

Life is good for the townÿs residents today. Not only do they enjoy immediate access to Lake Norman, they also have the privilege of living in a small-town community that combines the best of old-fashioned Southern charm and modern state-of-the-art facilities. Real estate in Cornelius is often sought-out by those who want to lead a laid-back lifestyle while at the same time stay connected to the present and future economic developments of the Charlotte metropolitan area.

Thereÿs no better place to relax, unwind and simply enjoy life than in this growing Mecklenburg County town. More and more people have been discovering the charms of real estate in Cornelius in recent years. Corneliusÿ most recent population estimate shows that more than 20,000 people now make their home within the townÿs 8.7 square-mile area, a figure that's almost double that of the 2000 Census' 11,969.

With its breathtaking waterfront vistas, revitalized historic downtown district, abundance of housing choices and close proximity to the Queen City (Charlotte is only around 20 minutes away to the south), Cornelius is a place anyone would be more than glad to call home.
