MOVING TO UNION COUNTY NC
Everything your family needs to know before, during, and after your move to Union County.
YOUR MOVING CHECKLIST
Research school zones before you search for homes
In Union County, your school assignment is tied to your address — not just your city or zip code. Start with the school zone, then find homes within it.
Connect with a local real estate professional early
The Union County market moves quickly. Having a local expert in your corner before you're ready to make offers gives you a real advantage.
Visit communities in person if possible
Photos don't capture the feel of a neighborhood. If you can visit before committing, spend time in the communities you're considering — especially on a weekday morning.
Understand the commute to Charlotte
Union County offers great value, but commute times vary significantly by community and time of day. Test the drive from your target neighborhoods.
Register for UCPS schools after closing
School enrollment in Union County requires proof of residency. You'll register after you close on your home — Melissa can walk you through the process.
Explore the community before you move
Union County has a lot to offer — farmers markets, parks, local restaurants, and community events. Getting familiar before your move makes the transition easier.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU MOVE
Union County is Growing Fast
Union County is one of the fastest-growing counties in North Carolina. New developments, new schools, and new amenities are arriving regularly — which is great for long-term value, but means the market is competitive.
Property Taxes Are Reasonable
Compared to Mecklenburg County (Charlotte), Union County property taxes are generally lower — one of the reasons families find more home for their money here.
HOAs Are Common
Many Union County neighborhoods have active HOAs. Review HOA documents carefully before making an offer — Melissa can help you understand what you're agreeing to.
The Market Moves Quickly
Well-priced homes in top school zones often receive multiple offers. Being pre-approved and working with a local expert who knows the market is essential.
EXPLORE BEYOND UNION COUNTY
Union County is a great fit for many families — but it's not the only option in the Charlotte metro. Melissa's sister sites cover the broader region.
