Answers to the questions we hear most.

Highgate sits along Providence Road in the Waxhaw / Weddington corridor of southern Union County, North Carolina (ZIP 28173) — roughly 10 minutes from Waverly, 15 minutes from Ballantyne, and about 30 minutes from uptown Charlotte.

Highgate is a low-density community of roughly 200 custom estate residences, sited on generous homesites of approximately one-half to well over one acre.

Highgate was developed as a custom estate community in the Weddington / Waxhaw corridor, with homes primarily built from the late 1990s through the 2010s and ongoing custom infill. Each residence was designed one-at-a-time by established Charlotte-area architects and builders — it is not a production-builder community.

Highgate resales generally trade in the multi-million-dollar range, with meaningful spread by lot, square footage, and specification. Because inventory is thin and each home is custom, a per-square-foot average is misleading — request a private valuation for an accurate current read.

Homesites typically range from about half an acre to over an acre. A meaningful minority back to wooded common area, treeline, or one of the community ponds.

Availability varies week to week and a meaningful share of Highgate transactions occur off-market. Reach out through our contact form for a current on- and off-market picture.

No. Highgate is an open residential community. There is no gatehouse, no controlled entry, and no private security patrol. Its quiet character comes from low density, long homesites, and continuous sidewalks — not a gate.

No. Highgate does not have a clubhouse and does not have a community pool. The shared commons are natural and outdoor — ponds, sidewalks, and walking trails threaded through the neighborhood.

The community's amenities are landscape amenities: ponds, sidewalks throughout the neighborhood, and walking trails set among mature hardwoods. There are no clubhouse, pool, tennis, or fitness facilities on-site.

The community is composed primarily of custom-built estate homes in French Country, English Manor, transitional, and modern architectural styles, situated on generous homesites — many wooded, several with pond frontage.

Highgate is served by Union County Public Schools. Assignments by address typically fall within the Weddington and Marvin Ridge corridors — including Rea View Elementary, Cuthbertson or Weddington Middle, and Weddington or Marvin Ridge High — widely considered among the strongest public schools in the Carolinas. Confirm the current assignment by address before making an offer.

The HOA maintains the common landscaping, ponds, sidewalks, trails, and shared entry landscape, funded by annual dues. Exact figures adjust with each budget cycle — request the current governing documents and financials at the offer stage for the authoritative number.

Homesite availability inside the community is limited but does occur from time to time. New estate construction in the surrounding Weddington / Waxhaw corridor is more common than infill inside Highgate itself.

Longview, Firethorne, and Skyecroft are amenity-forward communities with clubhouses, pools, and — in some cases — golf. Highgate is deliberately different: no on-property club amenity, larger homesites, and a quieter daily rhythm. See our comparison pages for a side-by-side view.

Rental rules are governed by the HOA's covenants. Ask for the current documents before assuming what is or isn't permitted — enforcement details can change.
