Birkdale Village
Live Above the Shops in Huntersville's Walkable Town Center
Birkdale Village is Huntersville's best-known address, a walkable, mixed-use town center where condos and townhomes sit right above and beside the shops, restaurants, and a movie theater that give the community its name. Built primarily between 1999 and 2003 by Saussy Burbank and David Weekley Homes, its Main Street grid curves around a central obelisk fountain roundabout lined with crepe myrtles and gas lamps, a design that reads more like a small Southern downtown than a typical suburban subdivision.
Life here runs on the town center itself: Bad Daddy's Burger Bar, Brixx Woodfire Pizza, Midwood Smokehouse, bartaco, Cava, and Sweetgreen line the streets alongside Banana Republic and a multi-screen movie theater, and the green in front of the fountain hosts summer concerts, holiday events, and seasonal markets year-round. Surrounding the town center, single-family homes and townhomes on sidewalk-lined streets carry the same Charleston-inspired, front-porch character, putting residents a short walk from dinner, a workout, or a Friday night out.

Schools In Birkdale Village
Birkdale Village sits inside a well-established CMS attendance corridor shared with neighboring Cornelius. Here are the schools most commonly zoned for the neighborhood, factual and sourced, plus what to check before you buy.
J.V. Washam Elementary
Bailey Middle School
William Amos Hough High
All three schools sit just across the municipal line in Cornelius, since CMS attendance zones don't follow town boundaries, and this is a different feeder pattern than the nearby Birkdale golf-course neighborhood. Assignments can shift with rezoning, so confirm zoned schools for your exact address through the CMS assignment lookup (assignment.cms.k12.nc.us) before you buy.
HOA & Community Amenities
Single-family homes in Birkdale Village fall under the Greens at Birkdale Village HOA, with dues of roughly $490 twice a year. Dues support a community pool, a clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, a pond, three pocket parks, and the sidewalks and walking trails that connect the neighborhood back to the town center.
Townhomes and condos in and around the town center, marketed as Townhomes at Birkdale Village, carry their own separate HOA with notably higher monthly dues, often north of $200 a month, which typically cover exterior building maintenance and shared structures. Because Birkdale Village mixes several distinct property types under different HOAs, confirm which HOA applies to a specific address, and confirm current dues, before making decisions.
