Seniors and Active Adults Love Matthews NC and its Neighborhoods Why do so many baby boomers, seniors and active adults consider the Matthews NC area such a great place to live? Matthews NC is a real town that is large enough to offer a number of community activities and services but small enough to retain its historic charm and small town feel.  Matthews is perched on the edge of Charlotte NC so active adults can take advantage of the many big city amenities that Charlotte offers.  Uptown Charlotte’s cultural facilities and sports arenas are just twenty minutes away.  Opportunities for shopping abound both in Matthews itself, home to numerous big box retailers along Highway 74, and at shopping malls at SouthPark and Carolina Place. Matthews residents can enjoy its mild climate with fou...

Windrow in Matthews NC—Homes for Sale and Neighborhood Profile Click here for an update to the 2011 real estate market in Windrow. Equestrian communities are hard to find in Matthews NC.  If you are looking for a Matthews neighborhood where you can keep your horse, you should consider Windrow.  Built in the 1970s and 1980s, Windrow was designed to be an equestrian neighborhood. Windrow Estates was the first section of the neighborhood developed.  Riding trails wind through the community.  Lots are mostly an acre in size.  The covenants and restrictions for Windrow Estates specify that properties abutting the equestrian trails may have a horse.  The Matthews zoning ordinance requires one acre per horse.  The combination of these two sets of restrictions means that you would most likely o...
