Stallings NC Golf Course Neighborhoods: Shannamara and Emerald Lake
Stallings NC has two popular neighborhoods for those who want to live in a golf course community with easy access to the amenities and workplaces of Charlotte. Shannamara and Emerald Lake, both built around golf courses, are located in the Stevens Mill area, a section of Stallings with two interchanges on I-485 at Lawyers and Idlewild Roads. Stevens Mill Crossing, a community shopping center with a grocery store, video store, gas station, and restaurants, is within a mile of both neighborhoods.
Shannamara and the Divide Golf Course
Shannamara is a large neighborhood of approximately 700 homes. Construction began in Shannamara in the mid-1990s and continued for over ten years. The neighborhood lies mostly in Union County but a small part of the neighborhood bordering I-485 lies within Mecklenburg County. The entire neighborhood is within the Stallings town limits.
The Divide Golf Course winds through the neighborhood offering many golf course lots and others with golf course views. The Divide is a daily fee course so it is possible to own a home with beautiful golf course views without paying membership dues.
Other Shannamara neighborhood amenities include a clubhouse with swimming and wading pools plus a playground and tennis courts. The Shannamara homeowners association is very active with a number of seasonal events for neighborhood children and organized groups for adults.
