Hampton Ridge

Hampton Ridge sits in Huntersville, close enough to I-77 that Sam Furr Road and NC-73 anchor the drive in, and close enough to Birkdale Village to make it part of the daily errand run rather than a special trip. The neighborhood is built out as single-family houses, with Huntersville's own town center and Cornelius just beyond it, and Lake Norman's parks within reach for an afternoon rather than a planned outing. It's a neighborhood you pass through on the way to somewhere else in Huntersville, and also a place people end up staying.

The neighborhood carries about 240 homes, almost all of them single-family and built between 1960 and 2010, with most dating to the 1990s. That means when your house gets compared to something on the market, it's most likely getting compared to another 1990s build nearby, not to something from a different decade entirely. For an owner here, that's useful: your house is competing inside a fairly consistent build era, not against something dramatically newer or older down the street.

Hampton Ridge holds about 240 homes, with 238 of them built out as houses and just 4 remaining as empty lots. That's a neighborhood that filled in almost completely a long time ago, which means most of what you'll compete against when you sell is other finished houses, not new construction going up next door. A buyer comparing your house is comparing it to a settled inventory, not a moving target of fresh builds still coming to market.

The oldest house here dates to 1960, the newest to 2010, and the typical year built lands at 1999. That spread matters: a house from 1960 gets compared on different terms than a 1999 build, and most of what's on the market around you will be from that same late-1990s wave. If your house was built close to 1999, you're in the thick of the comparison set. If it's older or newer, expect appraisers and buyers to pull comps carefully rather than just grabbing the nearest sale.

Lot sizes here run from 0.03 acres up to 1.79 acres, with a typical lot at about a quarter acre. That's a wide range 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 fifth of an acre and a house sitting on well over an acre aren't really being valued on the same basis, even if the floor plans look alike from the street.

Houses here run from 1,598 square feet up to 3,631, with a typical house at about 2,632 square feet. That's a meaningful gap between the smallest and largest homes in the neighborhood, and it means a flat price-per-square-foot comparison can mislead you if you're not careful about which end of that range your house sits on. A 1,600-square-foot house and a 3,600-square-foot house aren't drawing from the same buyer pool, even at the same address.

Of the roughly 240 homes here, 238 are single-family houses and 4 are still empty lots — no townhomes, no condos in the mix. That's a neighborhood built entirely around detached houses, which simplifies the comparison when you list: you're not competing against a townhome product at a different price point, you're being measured against other detached houses of similar age and size.

17 homes changed hands in Hampton Ridge over the past year. For a neighborhood of about 240 homes, that's a modest but steady pace — enough turnover that recent sales exist to lean on, without so much volume that any one sale gets lost in the noise. If your own house takes a while to sell, that pace is the neighborhood's normal, not a sign something's wrong.

The middle sale price over that year was $622,000. That tells you where the center of the market sits, but it doesn't tell you what your house is worth — a smaller or older house here will land below that number, and a larger or newer one above it. Think of it as the starting point for a conversation, not the answer.

Sales ranged from $505,000 up to $770,000, a wide spread for one neighborhood. Given the range in house size and lot size here, that gap makes sense — a smaller house on a compact lot and a larger house on a bigger lot aren't going to land near each other on price, even a street apart.

The most recent sale closed July 10, 2026, which keeps the comparables current. A valuation built on sales from the last year, including one from just weeks ago, is standing on firmer ground than one leaning on data that's gone stale.

Hampton Ridge sits about one mile as the crow flies from I-77 Exit 25 at Sam Furr Road and NC-73, which puts the interstate close without putting the neighborhood right on top of it. That's the exit most people here use to get anywhere else in the region, and it keeps commute conversations short rather than requiring a detour to reach the highway.

Huntersville's town center and Cornelius's town center are each about two and a half miles away as the crow flies, and Birkdale Village sits about a mile and a half out — close enough that errands and evenings out don't require planning around drive time. Lake Norman itself is reachable too, with Jetton Park about three and two tenths miles away and Ramsey Creek Park about two and nine tenths miles away, both as the crow flies.

For anything requiring a trip into the wider region, Uptown Charlotte sits about 14.9 miles away as the crow flies, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport about 17 miles away. Both are far enough that they're clearly separate trips from daily life in Hampton Ridge, but close enough that neither uptown nor the airport is off the table for regular use.

If you want a detached house rather than a townhome or condo, Hampton Ridge is built entirely around that — every finished home here is single-family. That narrows the decision to house size and lot size rather than property type, since there's no attached-home alternative inside the neighborhood to weigh against.

The build era here runs mostly from the 1990s, so if you're drawn to a house from that period rather than new construction, this is a neighborhood where that's the norm rather than the exception. If a shorter drive to I-77 or to Birkdale Village matters for your daily routine, the distances here are short enough to make that workable without a long commute.

Lot sizes swing from under a tenth of an acre up to well over an acre, so if a bigger yard is the priority, it's worth looking closely at where in the neighborhood a specific house sits rather than assuming lot size is uniform. Someone downsizing from a larger property, or relocating and wanting proximity to Lake Norman's parks, will find both smaller and larger options inside the same neighborhood boundary.
