Welcome!

Welcome, Happy Easter! We, my wife and I, are creating this blog to record our observations about life in Birkdale Village and the three towns North of Charlotte - Cornelius, Davidson, and Huntersville. We want to chronicle observations about life in the village, its real estate, its activities, and future developments around it. If you are thinking of moving to Charlotte then Birkdale Village is THE PLACE TO BE. It's the happening spot.
First, a little about us. We live in the village in one of the Saussy Burbank houses. We have lived here for a year and a half after living in Germany for five years. We chose to live in Birkdale Village for two reasons:
1 - She is German and Birkdale is the closest thing we could find to a Bavarian (European) style village. She's adjusted very well during her first year in the states!
2 - We did not want to support suburban sprawl and live in the typical suburban style sub-division.
Since moving here we have come to love the sense of community, its youthful feel, its sense of life, the live music in the summer, Lake Norman, the shops, the movies, and, especially, the future Robbins Park. If you haven't found these walking trails yet you are definitely missing out. We wouldn't recommend them now (in the spring/summer) because of snakes and other wildlife but in the winter, it is definitely a great sanctuary for walking and letting the dog(s) run free.
If you are thinking of moving to Charlotte, we highly recommend Birkdale Village. The community supports people in all of life's stages. There is something for everyone. Lake Norman parties, bars, movies, walking trails, family activities, ice cream, cafes, etc.
Well, enough for now. Please leave comments for things you would like us to cover. We look forward to hearing from you.
