Best Affordable Suburbs in America 2010

Business Week article by Venessa Wong, March 3, 2010  http://bit.ly/9pKdY4
The article “focus is on communities where families can live well for less and enjoy good schools, low crime, and reasonable commutes.” The top ten communities are:

Fishers, IN
Papillion, NB
Mililani, HI
Huntersville, NC
Montgomeyville, PA
Hales Corner, WI
Roxborough Park, CO
Brandon, SD
Savage, MN
Clark, NJ


This is Birkdale and is located in Huntersville, NC. This is a successful vertical mixed use project with retail, restaurants, and apartments. The parking is on a one-way internal oval with the builidngs on the perimter. Residential scale architecture with parking garages hidden behind the vertical integrated mixed use buildings.









Since I live in Huntersville, NC, this is a great place to live. For real estate development, this area is a developer friendly environment. Being only 13 miles from “Uptown” Charlotte, 10 miles from the airport, between the ocean and mountains and being next to Lake Norman combined with affordable real estate prices with room to grow, I would agree with Business Week’s selection of Huntersville, NC.
