Union County & surrounding areas
If you’ve explored the real estate market in Union County at all recently, you know it’s very fast-paced, a little wild, but totally fabulous. This is because Union County has so much to offer! Top-rated schools drive a lot of buyers to this suburb of Charlotte. There’s also a quiet feel and a bit of Southern charm mixed in. Many people think there’s a perfect combination of horses and cows, sunflower fields, fantastic local businesses, all the conveniences you need and none of the city traffic you don’t want. Justice Real Estate Partners is located in Waxhaw, North Carolina. We specialize in real estate in Waxhaw and surrounding towns, like Wesley Chapel, Weddington and Marvin. But we don’t stop there. Sara holds NC and SC licenses and is very knowledgable about booming areas nearby, like Ballantyne and South Charlotte as well as Indian Land and Fort Mill. Each of these areas has unique things to offer and things that draw buyers to those particular neighborhoods.
so glad you asked
Here are some important questions – where is Waxhaw in relation to Charlotte? And how quickly can I get to the beach or the mountains?
So glad you asked. Waxhaw is a suburb of Charlotte very near the NC/SC border. Many Waxhaw residents commute to Uptown Charlotte while others enjoy shorter commutes to businesses in Ballantyne, South Charlotte and South Park. It takes about the same amount of time to drive to uptown as it does to grab a quick Uber to our international airport. Most important to me is how quickly and easily can we run off to the beach or mountains for a weekend getaway? Here are some estimated drive times from Waxhaw.
-
Distance to Uptown Charlotte – 30 miles, time depending on traffic
-
Distance to Charlotte Douglas International Airport – also 30 miles, time depending on traffic
-
Distance to Charleston, South Carolina – 200 miles, only about 3 hours and 15 minutes
-
Distance to Blowing Rock, North Carolina – 114 miles, only about 2 hours and 15 minutes

When it’s time to truly shop until you drop, there are three great options in the South Charlotte area: Charlotte Premium Outlets, Carolina Place Mall, and a favorite of MANY Charlotteans, the beautiful South Park Mall.
