A master-planned community incorporating single-family homes, townhomes, deluxe apartment homes, an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, shops and restaurants, Birkdale Village is blessed with an ideal location, five minutes from Lake Norman and just off I-77 in Huntersville, a Mecklenburg County town just a few miles north of Charlotte.

The Residents Club features a fitness center, pool and business center. A year-round activities director means there will always be plenty to do, from day camps in the summer, to wine tastings, to outings just for moms.

The Birkdale Village shopping center offers shops such as  Victoria's Secret, Williams Sonoma, Barnes and Noble, Talbots, Gymboree and American Eagle, with a number of restaurants and a multiplex movie theater. During warm weather, live bands often play outside on weekends, and a Fourth of July celebration draws a number of visitors.
