Cornelius Reviews
Rating 4.3 out of 5 46 reviews
Cornelius is known for its friendly community and small-town charm. The downtown area offers a range of unique shops, restaurants, and cafes, and there are several parks and green spaces for outdoor activities. The town is also home to several events and festivals throughout the year, including the annual Lake Norman Wine Festival and the All-American Fourth of July celebration.
I have lived in Cornelius all of my life and have enjoyed living in this southern small town greatly. I grew up around the city either going on Lake Norman in the summer time with my family, or bundling up for the occasional snow day, which any amount of snow would cancel school, we received in the winter. Cornelius is located right outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, where I go frequently for sporting events, group gatherings or just for dinner and a night out on the town. The people of Cornelius are very welcoming and always love to meet the new neighbors coming every year!
Getting very popular, many new apartments and shops are being built nearby. Going to be a huge city in no time! Nearby, there is still outdoor roots like hiking trails. The people can be very nice, but driving gets a little crazy! Rent is also a bit pricy. Most everything is in walking distance, just be wary of some cars.
