The Wisdom You Need To Buy & Sell Real Estate

Spotlight: Cornelius’ Active Adult Community Bailey’s Glen

Cornelius truly has a neighborhood to suit every person or family’s needs, and that means active adults as well. Bailey’s Glen is the perfect spot for 55-plus adults to live an active Lake Norman-area lifestyle with resort-style amenities with a variety of living options.

The 145-acre Bailey’s Glen community is located next to Bailey Road Park and William Amos Hough High School. It is only a few minutes from downtown Cornelius and approximately 30 minutes from the Charlotte metro area. I-77 and great shopping is only a few miles away at Northcross Shopping Center.

There are various options for shopping, dining and entertainment in the lake-area towns of Davidson, Huntersville and Mooresville. Shop, grab lunch and a movie in nearby Birkdale Village. Take to the water from one of the many public boat ramps along Lake Norman’s eastern shore, or enjoy one of many parks, such as nearby Jetton and Ramsey Creek parks.

If the golf course calls to you then a membership at nearby Northstone and River Run country clubs is a great option, as both clubs are less than 5 miles away. Birkdale Golf Club in Huntersville is also a great public course.

If activity closer to home suits your fancy then take a dip in one of the community’s 2 pools or play some tennis or pickleball. In addition, there is a putting green, fitness room and game room. Bailey’s Glen social hub is its 12,000-square-foot clubhouse, where residents gather to socialize, play games or take some of the many classes, activities and clubs offered in the neighborhood.

There is a dog park, several pocket parks and a community garden as well!
