Get to know Ballantyne

Located 18 miles south of Uptown Charlotte, Ballantyne is a newer community that didn't take shape until the early 2000s, when the addition of the I-485 beltway around Charlotte opened the area to development. It’s centered around the 535-acre Ballantyne Corporate Park, a sprawling commercial center that's home to The Ballantyne Hotel, a luxurious resort which boasts its own PGA links and the renowned Ballantyne Golf Academy. More than a place to work and play, some 24,000 residents make Ballantyne their home, with more arriving each day — no doubt attracted by the unrivaled convenience this thriving business and residential community has to offer. You’ll find just about every imaginable type of housing across all price points, along with endless shopping, dining, and recreation options.

Living in Charlotte

The Charlotte area was the site of America’s first gold rush, prompted in 1799 when 12-year-old Conrad Reed found a whopper of a nugget playing in a Cabarrus County creek. Today, people are drawn here by other lodes: booming commerce, vibrant culture, and a subtropical climate that’s palpably milder than just a state or two north. Greater Charlotte represents the fourth-largest metropolitan region in the Southeast and one of the fastest-growing in the entire country. Nearly three million make their home in the 16 counties surrounding the “Queen City,” located in both North and South Carolina—they’ve gained nearly 20% of their collective population over the past decade alone. Countless companies across all industries maintain headquarters, if not a substantial presence, in Charlotte’s thriving urban core, most notably the finance, technology, and higher education sectors. And while “Metrolina” is all well inland, water-borne recreation thrives on Lake Norman, the largest manmade lake in the state, and throughout the Catawba River basin.
