A river runs through it

Bounded to the east by the Catawba River, Moores Chapel is a quiet residential neighborhood enveloped in a natural setting. Interstates 85 and 485 touch upon the southern and eastern borders, respectively. “Moores Chapel is a great commuter location, right at the edge of Charlotte,” says Trevor Hall with Helen Adams, a Realtor for five years who grew up locally. “This is an emerging area.” The neighborhood’s meandering streets and sidewalks are lined with mature oak trees, giving residents a sense of peace and privacy.
