01

A town of its own

Harrisburg is a Cabarrus County town on the northeastern edge of the Charlotte metro. It is not a Charlotte neighborhood: the town has its own government, parks, events and local identity, while Charlotte and Concord remain close at hand.

Begin with three questions: which part of town fits your daily routine, what home style and lot do you want, and how does the exact address affect school assignment and commute?

02

The lay of the land

Harrisburg Town Center and the NC 49 corridor anchor everyday errands. Residential streets extend toward Rocky River, the Mecklenburg County line and the Concord side of town. I-485, US 29 and NC 49 shape the wider regional trip.

Use the location map to compare parks, schools and dining in context; visit during the times you would normally drive those routes.
