Bailey’s Glen Area
The location of Bailey’s Glen is another strong draw for potential residents. While other area active adult communities are set further out from Charlotte and Raleigh, Bailey’s Glen enjoys an upscale location on the north side of Charlotte, surrounded by quaint village town centers. O’Brien says, “Retirees that move from the Northeast and Midwest will feel very much at home, and all residents will enjoy the benefits of this established unique location.”
Kristen Haynes, a real estate agent in the Charlotte area, agrees that Bailey’s Glen is ideally situated in the Cornelius area. She explains, “The area is ideal for active retirees who like to boat and fish, since it is at Lake Norman. It is also closer to the mountains (Asheville is an hour away), close to furniture shopping in Hickory and High Point, and the huge Concord Mills Mall.”
When it comes to active adult living, the Charlotte area includes a relatively even mix of local retirees and those who have relocated from areas across the United States. According to Haynes, many of the relocated residents in Charlotte are from Midwest or Eastern states. She adds, “A third are what we call ‘half backs,’ or people who left New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Ohio, or Pittsburgh to fly south to Florida, where the weather and taxes are better, but missed having four seasons or grew tired of the oppressive humidity and constant heat.”
For Charlotte area active adults, Bailey’s Glen offers a new alternative which will appeal to those who prefer an intimate community. It has a great location, lovely homes, and a close-knit neighborhood feel.
