These 9 North Carolina Towns Are Attracting Real Estate Investors, And Locals Are Taking Notice

One town on this list has two separate historic downtowns because Fuquay Springs joined with the neighboring community of Varina back in 1963. I love that kind of quirk. It tells you a place grew in its own odd, stubborn way. That same historic character now shares the spotlight with...

Faced with defeat, developers nix plans for 450 Lake Norman homes on jammed road

Facing probable no votes by the Mooresville Board of Commissioners Monday night, Georgia and Florida developers permanently pulled their plans for a total of 450 apartments and townhomes along jam-packed N.C. 150 at Lake Norman. Commissioners voted unanimously to accept the developers’ requests to withdraw their rezoning applications for the homes. “This is not a table (of the requests) and not a rescheduling,” commissioner Gary West said. “When it’s withdrawn, it’s done.” “They kind of read the tea leaves that there was a chance of it not going through,” commissioner Eddie Karriker said about each request. “It wasn’t the right thing or the right time.” Developments along congested highway The developments would have sprouted along one of the Charlotte region’s most bottlenecked highways , N.C. 150, which led the Mooresville Planning Board in June to unanimously recommend denial of the requests. Georgia-based Davis Development wanted to build 261 apartments and two commercial outparcels on nearly 30 wooded and vacant acres in the 800 block of River Highway (N.C. 150). The homes would have been in eight three-story buildings on the south side of N.C. 150 across from the Water Oak subdivision, according to the developer’s plans. The development also would

Johnson wins race for NC House 113 after taxes fueled contest

HENDERSON COUNTY - A powerful legislative insider faced a former presidential pilot who wanted to shake up Raleigh. Republican state Rep. Jake Johnson and Democrat John Morgan competed for North Carolina House District 113, covering Polk County and portions of Henderson, McDowell and Rutherford counties, in a contest centered on affordability, education and government accountability. Johnson, a Saluda native, won election to the Polk County Board of Commissioners in 2016 before being appointed to the General Assembly in 2019. He entered the contest as House deputy majority whip, with leadership roles overseeing state government and information technology. Morgan, a retired Air Force pilot, flew reconnaissance missions during the Vietnam War and later aircraft carrying Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He also served as a Saluda city commissioner. The candidates clashed over a proposed constitutional amendment requiring the legislature to limit local property tax increases . Johnson supported the measure, citing excessive local spending. Morgan opposed it, arguing Republican lawmakers were undermining local control. On affordability, Johnson emphasized increasing electricity generation and investing in water and sewer infrastructure to encourage housing construction. Morgan advocated targeted tax relief, stronger utility oversight and programs connecting renters with affordable housing. Education produced

In Conetoe, leaders call for relief as costs rise across region

On a beautiful afternoon in rural Edgecombe County, a crowd gathered under the late‑season sun to hear a message that has become impossible to ignore across eastern North Carolina: Families are hurting, and area leaders say the state must do more. The event last month brought together Gov. Josh Stein; N.C. Rep. Dante Pittman, D-24th District; N.C. Sen. Kandie Smith, D-5th District; Democratic N.C. Rep.-elect Lorenza Wilkins, who will represent the 25th District; and others, each offering a different vantage point on the same reality. Rising costs are squeezing households, small businesses and congregations alike. Speakers advocated for more than temporary political gestures to meet the moment. Jess Rivera, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and small business owner, opened the event with a message shaped by months of listening sessions across Greene, Wayne, and Wilson counties. Rivera, a Democrat, ousted incumbent N.C. Sen. Buck Newton, R-4th District, in Tuesday’s midterm election, riding a blue wave to victory that also resulted in Republicans losing majority control of the N.C. House. “Everything, and I mean everything, is more expensive,” Rivera said. “Food, gas, the coffee I drank this morning, utilities, healthcare costs — it’s all too much.” Rivera, describing the pressure on

The Hornets are buying the old Epicentre in a joint venture

Hornets Sports & Entertainment is acquiring and plans to revitalize Queen City Quarter — aka the Epicentre — in a joint venture with two real estate firms. Why it matters: The Hornets bring the built-in customer base, capital and literal buzz that may be necessary to revive Uptown's once-booming party central, right next to Spectrum Center. This could also be the missing piece to the Hornets' long-desired "entertainment district" along Trade Street. Flashback: Before South End was cool, the Epicentre used to be the place to be for Charlotte's nightlife. After its initial owners filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2010, it turned into a ghost town during COVID. It gained a reputation for crime and went into foreclosure in 2022. Most of the popular bars and businesses shuttered. It hasn't been the same since, even after the new property managers CBRE promised to turn it into a family-friendly destination. The latest: The Hornets' ownership is partnering with firms Lincoln Property Company and Vision Ventures. A sales price was not disclosed. A press release says they intend to "revitalize" and "reimagine" the property "as a vibrant destination," but it offered no specifics. Axios has reached out for comment. The intrigue:
