Homes that aren't carbon copies of the house next door. Or for that matter, the one down the street. A sense of community. And thanks to the age-old real estate mantra "location, location, location" a kinder, gentler commute.

All that and more in a community of four unique neighborhoods in northwest Charlotte, located between Mountain Island Lake and Uptown. A location that couldn't be more convenient to work, school, shopping and to the airport. Convenient to just about anything in Charlotte. And with the addition of the I-485 outer belt, traveling couldn't be easier.

But as convenient as Riverbend is to the rest of the Charlotte area, perhaps its most attractive feature is all the things you can do here without ever leaving home. Take the kids to one of the parks. Take a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood. Take a dip at the swim club. Take note of the narrow, one-way streets that have been strategically placed to keep traffic at a safe, child-friendly speed. Take time to spend more time with your family.
