Westmoreland

Westmoreland sits in Cornelius, close enough to I-77 for an easy run toward Huntersville and Charlotte, and close enough to Lake Norman that Ramsey Creek Park and Blythe Landing are part of the everyday map. You come in off the surrounding Cornelius road network into streets built out over one long stretch of construction rather than all at once. The neighborhood reads as a finished, settled place today, with houses of a fairly consistent age standing alongside a smaller number built earlier and a handful built more recently, giving the streets a layered but coherent feel.

About 365 lots make up Westmoreland today, with only 3 still sitting empty, which tells you this neighborhood filled in long ago and any new listing here is almost always an existing house changing hands rather than new construction going up next door. For an owner, that matters: your comparables are other lived-in houses with their own history, not builder spec sheets, and buyers touring the neighborhood will be judging your home against decades of upkeep and updates on the same streets, not against a fresh model home down the road.

Westmoreland holds about 365 lots in total, and nearly all of them, 362, carry a house on them today. That leaves the neighborhood functionally full, with only 3 lots standing empty. For a seller, this means your competition on the market is almost never a vacant lot pulling a buyer toward new construction instead of your home — it is other existing houses, which puts the emphasis on condition, layout and updates rather than on the appeal of building new.

The typical house here was built in 2005, with the oldest dating to 1960 and the newest reaching 2023. A buyer comparing your home is most likely stacking it against other 2000s-built houses, since that decade accounts for the bulk of the neighborhood, rather than against the smaller cluster of 1960s houses or the handful of newer builds from the 2010s and 2020s. If your house falls outside that median build year, expect the conversation with buyers to turn on how well it has aged relative to that 2005 benchmark.

Lot sizes run from 0.05 acres up to 3.82 acres, with a typical lot around 0.15 acres. That is a wide spread for one neighborhood, and it explains why two houses a few doors apart can appraise very differently even with similar square footage — one may sit on a compact, low-maintenance lot while another commands several times the land. When you price your home, the lot underneath it is doing real work in that number, not just the structure on top of it.

Houses here run from 1,151 square feet up to 4,538 square feet, with a typical home around 2,274 square feet. That range means a per-square-foot conversation in Westmoreland has to account for which end of the size spectrum your house sits on — a compact home and a much larger one on the same street will not price the same way per foot, since smaller homes often carry a premium per square foot and larger ones a discount. Knowing where your square footage lands in that range shapes how you and a buyer talk about value.

Of the homes counted in the neighborhood, 361 are single-family detached houses, 3 are still vacant lots, and 1 falls into another category. That is an overwhelmingly detached, single-family neighborhood with almost no townhome or condo product mixed in. If you list here, your direct competition is other detached houses on their own lots, not attached product competing on a lower price point — which keeps the comparison set narrower and more directly about house-to-house condition and land.

Over the past year, 13 homes changed hands in Westmoreland. Spread across a full year, that is roughly one sale a month, which is a useful pace to keep in mind if your own home takes a few weeks or a month or two to find a buyer — that is normal turnover for a neighborhood this size, not a sign something is wrong with your listing.

The middle sale price over that period was $540,000. That number tells you where the center of the market sat, but it does not tell you what your specific house is worth — a smaller or older home here can sell well under that figure, and a larger or more updated one well above it, depending on where it falls in the neighborhood's size and age range.

Sale prices ranged from $350,000 up to $692,000, a wide spread for 13 sales in one neighborhood. That range reflects the same variation you see in the housing stock itself — lots from 0.05 to 3.82 acres and houses from 1,151 to 4,538 square feet all selling within the same twelve months, so a wide price range is exactly what you would expect rather than a sign of an unsettled market.

The most recent sale on record closed June 3, 2026. A sale that recent gives a valuation solid, current footing, though with only 13 sales across the year, a broker-prepared look at your specific house and lot will carry more weight than any one comparable pulled from that list.

The 13 sales counted here reflect deed transfers meeting a standard sale filter, so the true number of transactions may run a bit higher than what is captured in this window.

Westmoreland sits about 7.2 miles as the crow flies from I-77 Exit 23 at Gilead Road in Huntersville, putting the interstate within easy reach for anyone commuting north or south through the region. That same 7.2-mile distance separates the neighborhood from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, so a flight out of CLT and a run up to the highway both start from roughly the same stretch of road.

Cornelius Town Hall sits about 12.1 miles away, while Huntersville Town Hall is closer at about 7.7 miles, and Lake Norman access points are within range too — Blythe Landing about 8.7 miles out and Ramsey Creek Park about 10.8 miles out. Birkdale Village sits about 9.4 miles away, putting a walkable shopping and dining district within a reasonable straight-line distance of the neighborhood.

Uptown Charlotte is about 6.1 miles away as the crow flies, and Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center is closer still at about 6.9 miles. Davidson College sits furthest out among these anchors, about 13.8 miles away. Together, these distances put Westmoreland within a fairly tight radius of both lake-area destinations and core Charlotte-area anchors.

If you want a detached house on your own lot rather than an attached townhome or condo, Westmoreland fits that search directly — 361 of the homes counted here are single-family detached, with almost nothing else mixed in. That makes it a straightforward option if a shared wall or an HOA-managed building is not what you are looking for, and it simplifies comparisons since you are shopping against other detached houses rather than a mixed product type.

The lot sizes here range from 0.05 acres up to 3.82 acres, so this neighborhood can work whether you want a low-maintenance yard or considerably more land to manage. If a smaller lot with less upkeep is the goal, the compact end of that range delivers it; if you want room to spread out, the larger lots here reach well past what a typical in-town lot offers.

With houses built anywhere from 1960 to 2023 and a typical build year of 2005, Westmoreland suits a move toward a house with some age and established systems rather than brand-new construction, since only 3 lots remain unbuilt. If a shorter run to Lake Norman access points or a straight-line commute toward Uptown Charlotte or the airport matters to your next move, the distances here put both within reasonable reach.
