Locust NC: City With Soul near Charlotte

October 8, 2025 by Danielle Edwards

Locust, NC: Small-Town Life in Stanly County

Locust, NC, sits on the western edge of Stanly County and wears its nickname proudly: “The City with a Soul.” The pace is easy, the calendar is full, and Charlotte access stays convenient.  This area is booming for its location and schools.

Rooted in Stanly County History

Locust began as “The Crossroads,” later taking its name from a locust tree that locals used as a meeting point. Today, the Locust Historical Society & Museum shares the story of how this Stanly County town grew while preserving its neighborly character

City Park and Community Traditions

Locust City Park anchors the community: trails, sports fields, playgrounds, and seasonal concerts all bring residents together. From April through October, the free Movie Night Series behind City Hall draws families with blankets and lawn chairs. Tip: bring your lawn chairs and water bottles, and be ready to relax and enjoy the vendors.  Follow them on social media so you know when all their events are!

Things to Do Around Locust

  • Reed Gold Mine: America’s first gold discovery is nearby, offering history and hands-on fun. This is a hot spot for families, field trips, and history buffs!
  • Red Bridge Golf Club: Eighteen holes with tree-lined fairways and a welcoming clubhouse.
  • Local Dining: The Brew Room and The Local Room are two spots locals rave about. From live music to fun games to play like corn hole, card games, trivia night and more!
  • Hot Mess Burgers-Really more Midland, NC area, but it is super close and worth the drive! Known for its creative and messy gourmet burgers with a fun, energetic atmosphere and unique items like the Gladiator burger and donut grilled cheese. The restaurant features a “Wanna Get Messy?” option that adds caramelized ham, onions, a drippy egg, and Parmesan cheese to any burger.  (Video Coming Soon)

Everyday Living, Stanly County Simplicity

Schools are part of the Stanly County district, internet providers are reliable, and everyday errands are quick. Medical offices, banking, and groceries are minutes away. The town center literally is that. From Ace Hardware to Morgan’s Dairy Bar, there is something for everyone.

Favorite established communities include:

  • Locust Valley(Video coming soon)
  • Locust Town Center (Video coming soon)
  • Village of Red Bridge Golf Community (Video coming soon)
  • Crossroads by DR Hortons  (Video coming soon)

New Construction: Pine Bluff and Streamside

Locust’s growth has been intentional. New neighborhoods like Pine Bluff and Streamside bring fresh new construction, open layouts, and energy efficiency while fitting into the fabric of the town.

On the edges of Locust New Construction:
-Whispering Hills by True Homes  (Video coming soon)
– Meadowcreek by Century Communities   (Video coming soon)

Why Locust, NC, Stands Out

Locust has grown nearly 30% in the past few years, yet it still feels like a close-knit town. Families, retirees, and commuters all find common ground here: affordable homes, safe streets, and a strong sense of community.  Every day it seems another new place is opening that you want to check out.

Quick FAQ about Locust NC

Is Locust part of Stanly County?
Yes. Locust is in western Stanly County, bordering Cabarrus, and within an easy drive of Charlotte.

What’s the vibe?
Neighborly, event-driven, and community-focused. Parks, movie nights, and Main Street define the rhythm. It is also very casual. You won’t find extensive landscaping down the streets like you will in Charlotte… but then again.. that is why people move here.

Are there new homes?
Yes. Pine Bluff and Streamside are the leading new-home communities currently building in Locust as of 2025. There are also other options on the edges of Locust to consider.

Exploring Locust Yourself

The best way to understand Locust is to spend an evening at the park or a Saturday walking Main Street. If the lifestyle clicks, Pine Bluff and Streamside are worth a tour. Browse nearby listings or get your home valuation.

James Custom Homes – Charlotte, NC

April 8, 2021 by Danielle Edwards

James Custom Homes

Oxford Manor

New Construction – Luxury Charlotte, NC

Looking to build a home in Charlotte, NC?
South Charlotte is a hotspot for many to live. This area gives you more house for your dollar, access to Uptown, the airport, major roads/highways, and it is just a great place to be!

James Custom Homes has built many communities here in the Charlotte area. Recently, they have started a new project at OXFORD MANOR which is tucked in behind OXFORD HUNT an established community.

What I love about this James Custom Homes location is that you are “inside 51”. Which to someone not from here that probably doesn’t make sense. Being inside 51, means you are “closer” to the uptown area and Southpark. You also get to escape the busy intersection of Providence and 51 which easily could add another 5 minutes to your commute.

If you are looking for new construction and trees this community might be a great option. It also can boast the top public schools in the area AND several private schools nearby also.

I have worked with JAMES CUSTOM HOMES before and they are a solid builder. Like most builders you have to deal with “change fees” and “that is an upgrade”. But, in the end they make sure to deliver you a solid energy efficient home and make sure you the buyer are happy.

Here is my walk-through tour of their model home at OXFORD MANOR

If you are considering building a home having YOUR OWN representation is important. The builder compensates me for assisting you. Here is my video on why you should consider this and working with me.

I have helped many clients purchase in here and I can guide you to live in the “coolest” place to be in the “suburbs”.  If you are new to the home buying process click here to watch my video on why buyers representation FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION and RESALE.

Tip: Remember the nice sales rep at the builder, works for the builder.  Your buyer’s agent compensation is already in the budget when they priced these homes.

<h2>Representation is key!</h2>
