A look at Waxhaw's lovely Weddington Trace

The Weddington Trace community is a beautiful enclave of homes located off New Town Road in bucolic Waxhaw in Union County.

The neighborhood is just a few minutes from Providence Road, South Charlotte/Ballantyne area and I-485 access while still feeling very rural and removed from the hustle and bustle of South Charlotte.

Some retail and daily essentials are located at New Town and Providence roads, while downtown Weddington is only a few minutes north on Providence Road for everything you need.

The center of Ballantyne for dining, retail and entertainment is only 11 miles away. An Uptown commute is approximately 20 miles away, while SouthPark is about 15 miles away.

Weddington Trace amenities include a pool, children's pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, pond and walking trail.

Ryan Homes and Standard Pacific (now CalAtlantic Homes) built out the neighborhood between 2005 and 2015.

The large homes - 3,000 square feet to more than 5,000 square feet - are on large lots of one-third of an acre to more than 1 acre of well-maintained lots. Homes are mostly full brick, traditional homes. There are some stucco and fiber cement-sided homes in the neighborhood.
