Discover The Palisades, an Exceptional Neighborhood

Live high above the lake - The Palisades is an award-winning 1,600-acre master-planned community located along ecologically sensitive Lake Wylie in Southwest Charlotte. The 13,400-acre Lake Wylie is Charlotte's second largest lake and a popular recreational destination for residents of Charlotte. The unique Lake Wylie setting offers community amenities that include a sports and tennis complex, swim and fitness center, a world-class Jack Nicklaus designed 18 hole golf course, and soccer and equestrian facilities.

The Palisades provides access to the many conveniences of Uptown Charlotte with the Uptown business district and airport less than 15 miles away. With the recent purchase of the community by developer Standard Pacific and a host of construction yet to come, the Palisades future of becoming one of Charlotte’s premier communities isn’t a question of if... it’s a question of when. Click Here to View The Community Master Plan!

Our Audubon International Gold Signature Certification

In July of 2006, the Palisades was certified as meeting the rigorous environmental standards of Audubon International’s Gold Signature Program. With this designation, it became one of only five master-planned golf communities in the world — and the first in North Carolina — to have residential neighborhoods and a golf course certified as a Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary.

With the completion of the commercial component and approval of that phase by Audubon International, The Palisades expects to be the first combined residential, commercial, and golf course master-planned community in the world offering a broad price range of homes from executive to luxury based on a land plan approved by Audubon International’s Gold Signature Program.

The certification is the result of intensive planning, implementation of best practices, and careful, innovative development methods designed to preserve wildlife habitats, leave large areas of forest intact, and protect — and even improve — the water quality of Lake Wylie. Although zoned for 4,500 homes, developers have chosen only to allow for approximately 2,500 homes to be built. In addition, over 30 percent of the land has been set aside for perpetuity as open space, and most of that has been left in its natural state.

Golf course

The Nicklaus Design golf course was created to be challenging yet playable to golfers of all skill levels. Shaped into the hills bordering Lake Wylie, this Audubon International Gold Signature golf course offers 18 visually dynamic golf holes.

The course offers five teeing areas, a wide variety of ball-out-areas, and numerous alternative paths to the green. Meandering natural rock bed creeks, fairways rising and falling up to 70 feet, and wetlands teaming with area wildlife will treat every player to an escape with Mother Nature.

Tim Wilkison Signature Sports Complex

This facility features the tennis, swim, and fitness center. This beautiful complex has a Wimbledon grass tennis court, seven clay courts, a yoga area, and fitness room housing state-of-the-art Technogym equipment. Also featured is a beautiful swim area encompassing a zero entry pool, double slides, lap lanes, kid’s pool, and splash pad along with expansive deck areas. Certified tennis, swim, and fitness professionals are on site to oversee instructional programs.

Local Schools

There are several public schools close to the Palisades and as part of the Masterplan, the land has been set aside for an additional branch of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system to be built.  Wingate Park Elementary, Southwest Middle School, and Olympic High School are three of the closest. The already very popular Palisades Park Elementary School that was completed in 2016 will soon be joined by the adjacent all-new Palisades Park High School. Also, a private school, the Palisades Episcopal School, is located within the community.

Shopping

Not far from the Palisades is the Rivergate shopping center and an array of bars, restaurants, as well as retail stores like Old Navy, Target, Marshalls, Best Buy, and more.  For even more options, Carolina Place Mall and SouthPark Malls are also just a short drive from the community.

As our community and the rest of the Southwest region of Charlotte continue to grow, more retail centers and restaurants are expected.  The land has already been set aside for a Harris Teeter grocery store and shopping plaza not even a mile from the main entrance to The Palisades.
