Kannapolis Real Estate

Kannapolis sits on the western border of Cabarrus County and crosses over the southern tip of Rowan County. Kannapolis is the second largest city in Cabarrus County, with just over 40,000 residents. The quiet rural mill village of the early 1900s is now being replaced by residential and economic development. The City of Kannapolis, which was incorporated in 1984, is fast becoming one of the hottest real estate markets surrounding the Queen City of Charlotte. This growth is due in part to the easy access of I-85 and the positive city leaders who consistently strive to make Kannapolis the best city in Cabarrus County, with unsurpassed beliefs in family and strong neighborhoods.

One of the most ambitious projects in the area now is the up-and-coming North Carolina Research Campus. With construction well underway, this campus will combine university research, community college job training programs, and smart business knowledge to boost economic development and enrich the region while giving North Carolina a biotechnology corridor that stretches across the state. This world-class biotechnology center will bring together professionals from Duke University, the University of North Carolina system, the North Carolina Community College system, and support from private enterprises. This campus will be surrounded by medical facilities, residences, a town hall, a movie theater, a performing arts center, hotels, a high school, and a community college. These facilities will provide an abundance of office and retail space, several parks, and a seven-acre central green. Over 30,000 jobs will be supported and the development mix will create a highly desirable place to live, work, and play. Located in downtown Kannapolis, this ongoing project has already become a catalyst that will transform the city, Cabarrus County, and the surrounding areas.
