Steele Creek in Transition!



Steele Creek in Transition!

Steele Creek is a little bit country and a little bit…..urban! The area is one of the fastest growing areas in Charlotte. A 32.4% increase in growth within the past year! New construction is booming and home prices are increasing. Why such an interest in this place? Lots of reasons. It’s a great blend of country and urban lifestyles, with amenities such as shopping areas with upscale dining, outdoor activities for families, and an excellent healthcare facility, the CMC- Carolina Hospital on the corner of Steel Creek and Tryon. Additionally, there’s an industrial park that is home to several large companies, including Microsoft and Siemens, and the Charlotte Douglas International airport is only minutes away. This place has it all. There is no need to venture far from home to enjoy life!

Now for those of you who love statistics, here you go. Steele Creek is approximately 46 square miles and is located in the southwestern corner of Charlotte. Not all of Steele Creek resides within the city limits of Charlotte. That area is in the jurisdiction of Steele Creek Township, which means….NO city taxes. Did I mention this is a great place! Steele Creek borders Lake Wylie to the west, South Carolina to the south, continues west to Sugar Creek and I-77 and north to the southern portion of Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

In the upcoming weeks, I’ll begin to post blogs about area shops, dining and information from the Steele Creek Residents association. Big doings in Steele Creek in the future. Widening of 160 and the much anticipated Outlet Mall. I’ll keep you posted. If you have comments or suggestions, let me know!
