Perhaps the most appealing feature of the Overlook community is its location on Mountain Island Lake, which is part of the Catawba River chain of lakes.
Any resident can launch a canoe from the neighborhood's shores.
The charming, old-fashioned downtown area of Mount Holly, N.C. is just minutes from Overlook. Mount Holly offers grocery and drug stores, a post office, dry cleaners, banks, doctors offices, restaurants and more. Mountain Island Marketplace, situated just off Highway 16, provides more grocery and drug store options, video rentals and other conveniences. Overlook is just a 15 minute drive up Highway 16 from uptown Charlotte. The community is close to regional shopping at SouthPark Mall and Concord Mills, Charlotte's uptown cultural district, major employers and a wealth of restaurants and entertainment venues.
