Morrison Plantation
Mooresville's Live-Work-Play Neighborhood Near Lake Norman
Morrison Plantation is a planned live-work-play community in Mooresville, tucked between I-77 Exits 33, 35, and 36 in southern Iredell County. Built out mostly between 2001 and 2007 by builders including Ryland Homes, Mercedes Homes, MDC, and Orleans Homes, it pairs roughly 396 single-family homes and a run of townhomes with a walkable town-center style commercial strip, grocery stores, restaurants, and even a branch of the Mooresville Public Library, a layout that's fairly rare among Lake Norman-area subdivisions.
Sidewalk-lined streets like Autry Avenue, Trotter Ridge Drive, and Middleton Place carry a mix of traditional and craftsman-style homes on modest lots, most built in the early-to-mid 2000s. The neighborhood sits about 4 miles from downtown Mooresville and a few minutes from Lake Norman itself, with Harris Teeter, Publix, Target, Walmart, Costco, and Hope Park all within a couple of miles, making it a genuinely convenient home base rather than a stand-alone subdivision.

Morrison Plantation falls within Iredell-Statesville Schools, a separate district from the Mooresville Graded School District that serves much of the town's core, so don't assume MGSD zoning here. Confirm zoned schools for your exact address through the Iredell-Statesville Schools district (iss.k12.nc.us) before you buy, since boundaries can shift.
