kannapolis nc: Gorgeous Waterfront and Waterview Acreage for Sale in Concord NC! - 02/19/08 08:00 AM

 
And to tell the truth, this photo doesn't even begin to do justice to the beauty of the Coddle Creek Reservoir, situated on the west side of Concord and Kannapolis NC, in the Charlotte NC metro area.
 
If you are seeking a unique property on which to build your custom home, this might just be the ticket.  You see, the reservoir is a completely protected natural area.  No boats or watercraft of any kind are allowed on the water (except for the county folks who take a johnboat out to make sure all is well).  When the reservoir was built in 1993, … (6 comments)

kannapolis nc: A Hard Truth To Grasp - 02/12/08 11:31 AM
It's worse than the age old 'chicken or the egg' argument...since it affects how people perceive their biggest financial investment-their homes.
Which is correct-market value or tax value? 
Doesn't sound like a difficult question when I write it down, but it's an ongoing discussion with homeowners in Charlotte NC (and especially in Cabarrus County-Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, in light of the recent property tax revaluation).  Seems that in some parts of the country, tax values have some semblance of relation to market values.
Not so around here. And that's hard to accept for relocating families who see listing prices which are far off from … (5 comments)

kannapolis nc: The Tax Man Cometh! (In Cabarrus County NC, that is) - 01/16/08 11:48 AM
Hurts, doesn't it?  I got my love letter from the Cabarrus County Tax Assessor today as well.
Folks who live in Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, Mount Pleasant, and Midland NC are feeling the pinch tonight.  You see, in North Carolina, very often our tax values lag market values.  It's the natural side effect of the amount of new construction in the area-the tax office can barely keep up with new builds, much less resale homes!
But the North Carolina general statutes try to keep the local counties in line by requiring that re-assessments occur at least every 8 years. (You know, market values can … (1 comments)

kannapolis nc: Merritt Homes Ceasing Operations Concord NC - 11/02/07 02:07 AM
We have a small, local casualty of the drama in the housing market. Merritt Homes is ceasing operations in their two communities in the Charlotte NC area. 
One community is Moss Creek, which is a master-planned community in Concord NC.  Any builders or investors out there who might have an interest in completing these three homes, please contact me as soon as possible
The other community is Kellswater Bridge, a fiber-optic connected community in Kannapolis NC.  There are two homes here that are in need of completion.  Again, if you're a builder or investor, these will be great opportunities.
Merritt's homes are built … (2 comments)

kannapolis nc: Please Be Smart About Your Water Usage! - 08/06/07 06:51 AM
It's hot here in Charlotte NC, hotter than usual (over 100 degrees today and HUMID!).  And it's dry-we haven't had nearly enough rain lately.
So the local governments (that is, Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, and Landis in Cabarrus County) are asking folks to voluntarily get smart with their water usage.  It's not required yet-if we would all pitch in and behave, mandatory restrictions wouldn't be necessary.
And we're not talking about things that are difficult to do!  Here are some of the suggestions for cutting back:
Water your lawn, if you must, between 9p and 7a.  (*If you didn't already know, watering during the day just evaporates … (5 comments)

kannapolis nc: Goodbye, Odell - 04/23/07 12:23 PM
 
I know I'm a softie, very nostalgic and sentimental, and I've often been referred to as an 'old soul.'
So when I read in the Concord Independent-Tribune last week that there would be a 'Farewell Open House' at WR Odell Elementary School, I had to go! 
You see, that's where I went to elementary school, kindergarten through sixth grade.  My mom, Sandra Thomas,  graduated from there, back when it was WR Odell High School (she graduated in 1966, the last graduating class from Odell as the new high school had been completed.  All of my aunts and uncles went there, along with … (2 comments)

kannapolis nc: The Piper Comes A'Callin... - 01/21/07 12:02 PM
You know, nothing is free in this life.
Kannapolis NC has been ecstatic ever since the announcement by mult-bazillionaire David Murdock of the North Carolina Research Campus.  If you're not familiar with the project, it's a collaboration between Murdock and the University of North Carolina system to promote biotechnology on one huge, technologically supreme campus.  They're anticipating over 170 companies relocating here to be a part of this growth. 
You see, Kannapolis lost her identity when the Cannon Mills (Fieldcrest Cannon) shut down in 2003.  The largest mass layoff in North Carolina history.  Folks around that area worked in the textile mills...their … (2 comments)
