South Mecklenburg County

Matthews – A rapidly growing town, Matthews is popular for its antique and craft shops, new-home developments and convenient location. With a population of approximately 25,000, the town is balancing new development with the preservation of historic buildings, some dating back to the 19th century.

Mint Hill — Mint Hill is primarily a residential community, with about 20,000 residents. The town has a strong retail market, a historical society, an athletic association and a number of civic clubs.

Pineville — Once a mill village, Pineville calls itself “the ‘biggest’ small town around” with a population of only 6,000 but more than 6 million square feet of retail space. Just 12 miles from Uptown Charlotte, Pineville is a dining and shopping mecca with options ranging from quaint antique stores in Pineville’s historic downtown to national chains at Carolina Place Mall. The LYNX Blue Line terminates just outside of Pineville, linking it directly to Uptown Charlotte.
