Mount Holly Homes
Belmont and Mount Holly are about the same size, each with a population somewhere around 10,000.
These areas are booming due to the cost of land in Charlotte rising, and the close proximity each offers, not only to Charlotte, but to the Charlotte International Airport and good Interstate access.
Both of these little towns are just thirty minutes outside of Charlotte.
