 Located just along the southern edge of the Iredell county line is Davidson, a town that manages to mix old-fashioned Southern ambiance with the atmosphere of a modern college town. The heart of the town is Davidson College, a leading four-year, liberal arts school. Because of this, much of the town is made up of both students and young professionals who commute to nearby Charlotte. The college also contributes greatly to the artistic and intellectual feel of the area.

Oak trees shade the brick sidewalks of the downtown area, which is filled with an abundance of options for shopping and dining. Events for both art and music are plentiful, and help the town to maintain its rich culture and relaxed feel. Charlotte is merely 25 miles south, and Davidson remains only minutes away from popular Lake Norman. Itÿs unlikely youÿll find another town in North Carolina with the culture, location, and distinctiveness thatÿs found in Davidson.
