Here’s a look at what’s on this underrated market – or already being snatched up.

5117 Wilgrove Mint Hill Rd, Mint Hill, NC 28227

• Specs: 2 beds, 1 bath, 952 sq. ft., 1.8 acres
• Asking: $150,000
• Noticed for: At just under 1,000 sq. ft., this house could be a good match for fans of the tiny house trend. The big bonus here is privacy and the development buffer – not only is the property 1.8 acres, but it backs up to a park, meaning no future condos in your bucolic backyard.

9510 Barkridge Road, Mint Hill, NC, 28227

• Specs: 3 beds, 2.5 baths, 1,636 sq. ft.
• Price: $184,800  — under contract
• Noticed for: You don’t find a lot of tidy Cape Cods in the Charlotte region that also come with cool exterior paint and such a freshly revamped interior. Also – that sunroom.

11913 Stoney Meadow Dr, Mint Hill, NC 28227

• Specs: 4 beds, 2.5 baths 2,791 sq. ft.
• Asking: $324,900
• Noticed for: Proving once again that Mint Hill has some great houses for people craving awesome outdoor spaces, this house gets an extra look for the way the sunroom and covered patio flow together and lead to a sparkling pool.

4655 Matthews-Mint Hill Rd, Matthews, NC 28105

• Specs: 5 beds, 3.5 baths, 4,603 sq. ft., 2.6 acres
• Asking: $725,000
• Noticed for: This is house is smack in-between Mint Hill and Matthews and technically has a Matthews address, but it’s so pretty I’m gonna let it slide. I love that it was built in the 1970s and still has a bit of what was cool from that decade but also has an updated interior. Somebody went big with the white and gray during a remodel and the results are cohesive, modern and beautiful. Property is 2.6 acres and next to Pine Lake Golf Course.
