Statesville NC Neighborhoods
Statesville has a little of everything: old homes on tree-lined streets near downtown, brick ranches in established neighborhoods, a golf community, and new subdivisions with pools and trails. Here's a plain-English guide to the neighborhoods buyers ask me about most.
Historic districts near downtown
If you like older homes with character, Statesville has a lot of them. The city has local historic districts including Academy Hill, Mitchell College, Race Street, Davie Avenue/Broad Street and Garfield/Green Street. Several of these are also on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the Downtown Statesville Commercial District.
Mitchell College Historic District
This district is built around the historic Mitchell College campus. It was listed on the National Register in 1980 and expanded in 2002. It has hundreds of contributing buildings, mostly from about 1885 to 1930, in Greek Revival, Queen Anne and Classical Revival styles. The college's Main Building dates to the 1850s.
Academy Hill, South Race Street and East Broad Street–Davie Avenue
These are older residential streets with big porches, mature trees, and houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s. You can walk to downtown restaurants and shops. They fit buyers who want a house with history and don't mind older-home maintenance.
Buying in a historic district? Exterior changes in Statesville's local historic districts usually need city review before you start. I'll help you find out what's allowed before you fall in love with a renovation plan.
Mature trees, bigger lots, solid construction
Wendover Hills
This neighborhood started in 1957, and most homes were built between the 1960s and mid-1970s. Homes are roughly 2,200 to 3,600 sq ft with three to five bedrooms, on streets lined with mature trees. It's a good fit if you want space and a settled neighborhood, and you're fine with some updating.
Country Club Estates
These homes are near Statesville Country Club and were built over several decades, from the late 1930s to the early 2000s. They range from about 1,300 to 3,200 sq ft, some on lots up to an acre. Recent listings have run from the mid-$200s to the mid-$600s, depending on size and updates.
Shannon Acres
This neighborhood started around 1970. Homes are larger, from about 2,300 sq ft to well over 5,000, on lots up to an acre. It's one of Statesville's higher-end established areas, with recent sales mostly in the $400Ks to $600Ks and some higher.
Meadow Oaks
Larger single-family homes built from the mid-1990s on, mostly three to four bedrooms, from about 1,800 to over 4,500 sq ft. Recent sales have run roughly $350K to $625K. It's popular with buyers who want a bigger, newer home without buying new construction.
Beverly Heights
An established neighborhood with homes built from the 1960s onward, about 1,300 to 2,900 sq ft. Recent sales have mostly been in the $225K to $375K range, so it's worth a look for first-time buyers and downsizers.
Oaks at Brookgreen
Single-family homes built between about 2001 and 2005, mostly three bedrooms and roughly 1,100 to 1,700 sq ft, off Brookgreen Avenue. It's a practical starter-home neighborhood. (Don't mix it up with the apartment complex with a similar name.)
Pools, trails, golf and newer homes
Larkin
Larkin is built around Larkin Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by Clyde Johnston that opened in 1996. The club is at 170 Club House Drive in Statesville. Homes were built from 1996 into the 2020s and include single-family and some attached homes, roughly 1,700 to 3,800 sq ft. Recent listings have mostly run from the high $200s to around $490K. Amenities include a pool, tennis and a clubhouse restaurant.

A True Homes community built since 2009, near the I-40/I-77 interchange, with homes from about 1,100 to 3,900 sq ft. It has a pool, clubhouse, playground and walking trails, and a low HOA. Recent listings have mostly run from the mid-$200s to low-$500s. It has an active neighborhood website, and True Homes' newer Beaver Creek section next door shares the amenities.

A newer Lennar community with homes built between 2022 and 2024, about 1,450 to 2,950 sq ft. It has a clubhouse, pool, pickleball, playground, walking trails and sidewalks. Resale homes have mostly listed from the high $200s to the mid-$300s, with a modest monthly HOA.
