Waxhaw is a town in Union County, about a 45 minute drive down South from the Queen City, but well worth every one of those minutes. With charming shops, restaurants, and lovely greenspace, Waxhaw is an amazing place to visit and an even better place to live. The best part is that almost everything is within walking distance of the city’s main street, making this a very accessible town. It has experienced tremendous growth in recent years and has that laid-back, casual, small town vibe that so many homeowners are desiring.
Waxhaw’s name is derived from the indigenous people who lived there, known as the Waxhaw people and although it is rich in history, it’s definitely making moves to become one of the most talked about towns in North Carolina. In the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the town added a myriad of new businesses, over 100 new jobs to take advantage of, and invested millions in its downtown areas.
