Mint Lake Village Townhomes
Low-Maintenance Brick Townhomes Between Matthews and Mint Hill
Mint Lake Village Townhomes is a well established brick townhome community tucked between Matthews and Mint Hill, North Carolina, built mostly between 1999 and 2002 off Idlewild Road near I-485. Full brick exteriors give the streets a durable, timeless look, and floor plans run the gamut from true one-story homes to one-and-a-half-story layouts with lofts to two-story designs with the primary suite on the main level, so buyers can usually find a layout that fits how they actually want to live.
Inside, kitchens typically feature granite counters, breakfast bars, and generous cabinet space, while primary bathrooms often include garden tubs, separate showers, and dual vanities. Many units add sunrooms and attached garages, and the community's ponds and green pockets give it a quieter, more natural feel than a typical infill townhome project. Sitting right on the Matthews/Mint Hill line, residents can reach grocery stores, medical offices, and restaurants in either town within a few minutes.
