Locust Cabarrus County Homes for Sale
Set in eastern Cabarrus County along the NC-24/27 corridor, homes for sale in Locust give buyers an “in-between” location that feels relaxed and small-town while still putting Concord about 20 minutes away and most Charlotte destinations within roughly 35–45 minutes, and many buyers use this page to compare list prices, lot sizes, year built, and upgrades before scheduling tours, often in combination with broader area searches such as Cabarrus County real estate to better understand where Locust fits into their overall budget and lifestyle goals.
Housing Types and Property Patterns
Most available housing in Locust consists of single-family residences, including ranch-style homes and traditional two-story layouts in both established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, and buyers will find everything from sidewalk-lined communities with homeowner associations to properties not formally in subdivisions, where lot sizes can stretch into multi-acre tracts with a more rural feel, plus a mix of public water and sewer or well and septic systems depending on the address, with median prices often around $400,000 and many listings running from the mid-$300,000s into the $600,000+ range for larger homes or properties with premium features.
Nearby Communities Buyers Compare
Because Locust sits on the eastern side of the Charlotte metro, many buyers weigh its listings against nearby options in Midland, Mount Pleasant, Harrisburg, Concord, and even parts of Charlotte, using this comparison to balance commute times, schools, neighborhood amenities, and access to shopping areas like Concord Mills, and it’s common for shoppers to keep an eye on both Locust and nearby Midland—often via resources such as Midland homes for sale—to decide whether a more rural edge, a walkable town environment, or a slightly closer-in suburb best suits their daily routine.
Schools and Recreation
Families and outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Locust’s mix of local and regional recreation, from everyday fun at City Park with its playgrounds, fields, and community events, to easy access to destinations like Uwharrie National Forest and the nearby Badin Lake Recreation Area for hiking, camping, boating, and trail adventures, while shopping, dining, and entertainment are bolstered by regional hubs such as Concord Mills in neighboring Concord, and buyers can explore more about local services and events through the City of Locust’s website at locustnc.com or learn about outdoor options at the Badin Lake Recreation Area.
