About Concord

Concord
Charlotte, NC

Concord is Cabarrus County's seat and one of the Charlotte metro's fastest-growing cities — a place where NASCAR heritage, strong job growth, and housing affordability converge in a way that's increasingly hard to find this close to Charlotte. Downtown Concord's Union Street offers a genuine small-town main street experience with restaurants, local shops, and events that anchor a real community. Concord Mills draws millions of visitors annually. The proximity to Charlotte Motor Speedway makes Concord one of the most recognizable cities in the Southeast. For buyers who want more home for less money with quick access to Charlotte via I-85, Concord delivers a compelling case.
