Matthews, NC Condo for Sale

In 1874, the Central Carolina Railroad established a train depot in a farming community named after its director, Watson Matthews. With the train’s success, the town transformed into the city of Matthews, incorporated in 1872. Today, the same train tracks run through Matthew’s bustling downtown, and the depot is now a visitor center and museum. Matthews is south of Charlotte, but this mid-size city makes an impact in Mecklenburg County with its constant community events, booming commercial scene and accessibility to Union County. Nicole McAlister is a Realtor with Keller Williams who has over 10 years of experience selling homes in North and South Carolina. “When I think of Matthews, I think of character, and not a lot of places near Charlotte have that,” McAlister says. “Matthews is one of the few places where you get access to Charlotte, affordable prices and big lots. It’s a beautiful town.” The city has three districts: the Cultural Arts District features festivals and musicals; Historic Downtown offers locally owned restaurants and stores; and the North End is filled with businesses and chain restaurants. Families, young professionals and older folks settle in Matthews
