What Makes Weddington, NC, a Best Charlotte Suburb?
by Charlotte Real Estate Agent Danielle Edwards
Welcome to Weddington, NC!
If you’re reading this post, it’s maybe because you’ve heard about how great Weddington, NC, is. What used to be a small, quaint North Carolina town is booming into a bustling Charlotte suburb. If you are looking to move to the Charlotte, NC, area, Weddington is a magnet for people and families wanting wide open spaces, newer homes, community amenities, and, of course, more bang for your buck!
I recently moved several families to this sparkling suburb via Facetime or in person – from all over the United States. Their main focus was a safe place to raise their family and top schools. But, let’s not forget the beautiful parks, access to sports fields, hockey, gymnastics–you name it— it is here — tucked away behind soaring pine trees.

Where is Weddington located compared to Charlotte, NC?
Weddington is 2-3 miles from I-485, making this location attractive to hybrid and remote workers. But even if you commute daily, it is doable — about 35-40 minutes to uptown. Some roads are 2-lane country roads, which during rush hour, can have a slower pace after a long day. The further you live from the Charlotte city center, you get “more bang for your buck.” Just realize it might take you longer to get home, which costs time, gas, and wear and tear on your car. The taxes are slightly cheaper in Weddington, but if you are a commuter, you make up for that the further out you buy.
It comes down to what is important to you! I tell clients to think about how they live now. What is important to you? Since I have lived in many areas throughout Charlotte and the US, I usually can give examples to my clients on what they can expect relative to their lifestyle.
