Why is the Town of Davidson and Hobbs Hill Neighborhood so popular and desirable for families of all types in the greater Charlotte region? Perhaps the answer lies within the pattern of national media writers often comparing our unique Town to the popular imagery of famed artist Norman Rockwell – classic, small and college town America!
And that character is written right into our Town’s published “Core Values.” As the current edit to to Town Core Value #5 states: “Davidson is a small, historic, college town. We are a town that celebrates our rich cultural and architectural history. Our unique character is reflected in our land use, managed approach to growth, and preserved in our architectural history. Our land planning will reflect historic patterns of village-centered growth, connections between our neighborhoods, preservation of our rural area, provision of our public spaces, and new development will honor our historic character.”
The largest man-made freshwater body of water in North Carolina – Lake Norman, is as close as just across the street from the neighborhood and numerous other options for lake living and entertainment including boat ramp, docking/storage, dining and water sports activities are nearby!
The beautiful North Carolina mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway and many more Blue Ridge and Appalachian sights/attractions are less than 2 hours drive, including the popular NC mountain resort and skiing towns of Boone, Blowing Rock and Asheville, as well as other mountain destinations in Virginia.
Many of the most popular beach and ocean destinations on the Southeast coast of the United States are within hours of Hobbs Hill: 3 hours or less to Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. Hilton Head, SC and Historic Charleston and Savannah, GA are 4 hours away. The NC Outer Banks are less than a day’s drive at 5-6 hours.
The Town of Davidson’s history is tied directly to Davidson College, founded in 1837 and named for Revolutionary War hero William Lee Davidson. Today, Davidson College is ranked as a Top 10 private “National Liberal Arts College”, boasts a beautiful 600+ acre campus in the heart of Downtown Davidson and offers a variety of NCAA Division 1 sports.
