Overlook is the award-winning lake community that led the way for explosive growth in northwest Mecklenburg County, NC. It was developed by Crescent Resources, the real estate arm of Duke Energy, as a way to demonstrate that neighborhood development can successfully co-exist with the valuable natural environment of Mountain Island Lake.
The neighborhood features private lake access, a clubhouse and pool, two community parks, playgrounds, and boat storage. The community's meandering trail system connects to Overlook Park, a large wooded common area overlooking Mountain Island Lake. The park includes a gazebo with a fireplace for cookouts, a picnic area, a basketball court, a playground and a community boat launch. Because Mountain Island Lake is the water source for Charlotte and several counties, trees and natural vegetation remain undisturbed; one reason why residents marvel at being away from it all while still being close by. The resale market tends to be strong in Overlook so check often. Homes is this well-established community range from $300,000 to more than $1 million.
