McConnell

McConnell sits in Davidson, close enough to Davidson College that the campus anchors the drive in, with Main Street and the rest of downtown Davidson just beyond it. The neighborhood is a single-family subdivision, laid out with the lots and street pattern typical of a built-out 1990s neighborhood rather than a newer, denser development. Coming from I-77, you pass through Davidson's town core before reaching the streets here, which puts the neighborhood inside the town rather than off at its edge. It reads as an established piece of Davidson's residential map, not a fresh phase of construction.

The neighborhood carries about 190 lots in total, and most of them, roughly 150, already have a house on them. That split matters if you own here: you're not competing against a wave of new construction inside the neighborhood, because the remaining unbuilt lots are a minority of the total. What you're selling is a house inside a neighborhood that finished building out decades ago, which means your comparables are other resales, not builder spec homes.

McConnell has about 150 houses on the ground today, out of roughly 190 lots total in the neighborhood. That's the pool your house is actually compared against when it goes up for sale: not every lot ever platted, but the homes currently standing. A neighborhood this size means any given listing here doesn't disappear into a huge inventory — there's a manageable, countable set of homes a buyer can tour before making a decision, and yours is one of a limited number of active comparables at any given time.

The homes here were built between 1992 and 2000, with the typical house dating to about 1996. That's a tight, one-decade building era — almost the whole neighborhood, 142 of the houses with data, went up in the 1990s, with just 3 from the 2000s. If your house was built in this window, a buyer isn't cross-shopping it against something from a different decade with different systems and construction standards; they're comparing 1990s-built houses against each other, which puts the comparison on finishes, updates and condition rather than era.

Lot sizes here run from a tenth of an acre at the small end up to 1.45 acres, with a typical lot around a third of an acre. That's a wide spread for one neighborhood, and it's the reason two houses on the same street can appraise very differently even with similar square footage — a house sitting on a third-acre lot is carrying more land value and more yard than one on a smaller lot nearby. When you're pricing your house, the lot underneath it is doing real work in that number, not just the structure.

The houses themselves range from about 1,620 square feet up to 3,698, with a typical house landing around 2,464 square feet. That's a broad range for a price-per-square-foot conversation: a smaller house at the low end of that range and a larger one near the top aren't really priced on the same basis, because a compact house tends to carry a higher cost per foot than a larger one with more space to spread fixed costs across. Knowing where your square footage sits in that range tells you which comparables actually apply.

Of the roughly 190 lots in the neighborhood, about 150 are built with single-family houses and the rest, around 45, are still empty lots. There are no townhomes or condos in the mix here — this is a detached, single-family neighborhood from top to bottom. That matters when you list: you're not competing against a different housing type at a different price point inside the same neighborhood, and the remaining empty lots represent future single-family construction rather than a different kind of housing entering the market around you.

Five houses changed hands in McConnell over the past year. For a neighborhood with about 150 houses total, that's a slow, steady pace rather than a stalled one — sales here happen in small numbers by nature, so if your own house takes time to find a buyer, that's the normal rhythm of this neighborhood, not a signal that something is wrong with the listing.

The middle price among those five sales was $715,000. That tells you where the center of the market has landed recently, but it doesn't tell you what your house is worth on its own — your lot size, your square footage and your house's age within the 1990s to 2000 range all move you above or below that middle figure.

Prices in those five sales ranged from $615,000 to $875,000, a wide spread for just five transactions. With lots running from a tenth of an acre to 1.45 acres and houses from about 1,620 to 3,698 square feet, that price range reflects real differences in land and living space, not inconsistency in the market itself.

The most recent of those five sales closed June 11, 2026, which keeps the comparable set current for a valuation done today. Because the count is drawn from deed transfers that meet a warranty-deed and minimum-price standard, it's a conservative count — it can undercount sales that don't meet that filter, so treat five as a floor on activity, not a ceiling.

McConnell sits about two miles, straight-line, from I-77 Exit 30 at Griffith Street in Davidson. That's close enough that the interstate is a short trip away rather than a long haul, which matters for anyone weighing a commute north or south along the I-77 corridor out of Davidson.

Davidson's town center, Davidson Town Hall on Main Street, is about one mile away as the crow flies, and Davidson College itself sits less than a mile out, at about eight-tenths of a mile. Cornelius Town Hall is about two miles away. Lake Norman access points, Jetton Park and Ramsey Creek Park in Cornelius, are each a little over four miles out, and Birkdale Village in Huntersville is about four miles as well.

For trips into the wider Charlotte area, Uptown Charlotte is about 18 miles away straight-line, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport is about 20 miles out. Those are longer, regional distances rather than local ones, which puts McConnell squarely in Davidson's orbit day to day, with Charlotte as an occasional, not routine, drive.

If you want a detached house on a lot with real yard space, McConnell's lots run from a tenth of an acre up to 1.45 acres, so there's room to choose between a smaller, low-maintenance lot and a much larger one within the same neighborhood. All of the homes here are single-family and detached — there are no townhomes or condos to weigh against each other, which simplifies the comparison if a yard and standalone structure are the priority.

The houses were all built between 1992 and 2000, so this fits a move toward an established 1990s house rather than new construction — you're looking at three decades of settling, prior ownership and likely updates rather than a from-the-ground-up build. Square footage here ranges from about 1,620 to 3,698, wide enough to fit a move toward a smaller, easier-to-manage house or a move up to more space, depending on which end of that range you're aiming for.

The straight-line distance to I-77 Exit 30, about two miles, and to Davidson's Main Street, about one mile, makes this a fit if you want a short trip to the interstate and to a town center without leaving Davidson. It also suits a move toward Lake Norman access points in Cornelius, each a little over four miles out, without living directly on the water yourself.
