Downtown Davidson is a perennial favorite for good reason. Tiny but mighty, the community packs a bookstore, restaurants, farmer’s market and idyllic college campus into walkable blocks.
The town’s compact charm has remained intact precisely because it hasn’t been overdeveloped.
But this also means buyers looking to live within close walking distance face a competitive, limited market.
Single-family homes near downtown are typically fall into two categories: Smaller properties with pasts as rentals in the $200,000-$250,000 range, or larger remodeled homes and historic homes where proximity to campus means prices $650,000 and up.
In either category, there’s a reason why Davidson is known as expensive.
Here are 5 properties on the market now.
