To the east of Charlotte, the community of Mint Hill offers a tranquil, bucolic residential haven for those who desire upscale housing and a family-oriented atmosphere. The town has managed to retain a rural flavor, enhanced by generous home sites with sweeping lots. Many of these handsome developments surround premier golf courses, adding to their sense of openness and natural beauty. Blending a touch of Mayberry with advanced technologies, a thriving industrial park, Interstate 485 convenience, and modern shopping centers, Mint Hill is only 25 minutes from uptown Charlotte. With its excellent transportation facilities, easy access to metropolitan attractions and institutions of higher education, and prime tracts of available land, Mint Hill is destined for continued growth and quality development. Community assets include strong retail activity, an athletic association, active civic clubs, and a dedicated historical society. Acres of parkland offer open green space, picnic areas, playgrounds, tennis courts, sports courts, a skating rink, volleyball facility, and a fitness trail.
