MacAulay is a built-out, 2000s single-family neighborhood in Huntersville, close to I-77 and Birkdale Village.
MacAulay sits in Huntersville, close enough to I-77 that Sam Furr Road and NC-73 are part of the daily rhythm of living here. Birkdale Village is a short trip away, and Lake Norman access points at Blythe Landing and Ramsey Creek Park are within easy reach. Huntersville's town center is nearby too, along with Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center. Coming in, you're in a single-family neighborhood built out in one era, with the kind of consistent street presence that comes from a subdivision that went up largely at once rather than filling in piecemeal over decades.
The neighborhood carries close to 590 lots, and nearly all of them are built on. If you own here, that matters: your house isn't competing against a scattered handful of new builds dropped into an older street. It's compared against homes that mostly share a building era, which means buyers evaluating your listing are doing an apples-to-apples read on condition, updates, and layout rather than era alone. That's a different conversation than in a neighborhood where houses span multiple decades.

MacAulay has close to 590 lots in total, with the large majority built on. That scale gives the neighborhood enough turnover and enough comparable sales in a given year to support a real valuation, rather than relying on one or two distant comps from outside the neighborhood. For an owner, this means an appraiser or a buyer's agent doing due diligence has plenty of like-for-like homes to pull from without having to reach into a different neighborhood entirely.
Every home with year-built data here was constructed between 2000 and 2018, and the midpoint lands at 2004. That puts this squarely in one building era: a buyer cross-shopping your house isn't weighing it against older construction, but against other early-2000s Huntersville product with similar-generation systems, layouts, and finishes. If your roof, HVAC, or kitchen is original to the house, expect comparisons to other homes from the same window, not to newer builds elsewhere in town.
Lot sizes here run from a tenth of an acre up to 5.25 acres, with a median around a quarter acre. That's a wide range for one neighborhood, and it explains why two houses on the same street can appraise very differently: a quarter-acre lot and a multi-acre lot carry different land value even with a similar house sitting on top. If you're on the smaller end, your value leans harder on the structure itself; if you're on a larger lot, land is doing more of the work in your number.
Heated square footage here spans from 1,419 to 5,274, with a median around 3,118. That's a broad spread for a price-per-square-foot conversation: a 1,419-square-foot home and a 5,274-square-foot home in the same neighborhood will not land on the same per-foot number, because smaller homes typically carry a premium per foot and larger ones typically carry a discount. If you're pricing your own home, the median tells you where the middle sits, but your actual per-foot comparison needs to come from homes closer to your own size.
The mix is almost entirely single-family: 567 detached houses against 19 empty lots and one home falling outside those categories. There are no townhomes or condos pulling the comparison pool in a different direction. If you list here, you're competing against other detached houses on individual lots, not against attached product with different maintenance and ownership structures. That keeps the comparison set clean, but it also means your competition is other single-family sellers making the same pitch to the same buyers.
Twenty-seven homes changed hands in MacAulay over the past year. Across close to 590 lots, that's a steady, ordinary pace of turnover for a built-out neighborhood of this size — not a flood of listings and not a stalled market. If your own home takes a few months to sell, that's consistent with what a neighborhood this size normally produces, not a sign that something is wrong with your listing.
The middle sale price over that period was $624,000. That figure tells you where the center of the market sits, but it doesn't tell you what your specific house is worth — your square footage, your lot size, and your home's condition all move you above or below that midpoint. Think of $624,000 as the neighborhood's center of gravity, not a price tag for your address.
Sales ranged from $495,000 to $880,000, a wide spread for one neighborhood. Given that lot sizes here run from a tenth of an acre to 5.25 acres and homes range from 1,419 to 5,274 square feet, that price spread tracks the physical spread in the housing stock itself — smaller homes on smaller lots sell toward the low end, larger homes on larger lots sell toward the high end.
The most recent sale closed June 5, 2026. That's recent enough to anchor a valuation with confidence: an appraiser or a buyer's agent pulling comparables from the last year is working with a market that has current, not stale, data points. If you're weighing a listing now, this year's sales are still fresh enough to price against directly.
MacAulay sits about 1.2 miles as the crow flies from I-77 Exit 25 at Sam Furr Road and NC-73. That's a short straight-line distance to the interstate, which shapes how easy it is to frame a commute conversation with a buyer coming from elsewhere in the Charlotte region — the highway access is close without the neighborhood sitting directly on it.
Huntersville's town center is about 2.3 miles away as the crow flies, and Birkdale Village is closer still at about 1.3 miles. Lake Norman access points are also within reach: Blythe Landing sits about 1.8 miles away and Ramsey Creek Park about 2.9 miles, both straight-line distances. Cornelius Town Hall is about 4.0 miles out, putting the neighborhood within a reasonable stretch of two town centers and the lake itself.
Zooming out, Uptown Charlotte is about 13.7 miles away as the crow flies, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport is about 15.3 miles out. Davidson College sits about 5.8 miles away in the other direction. For anyone weighing MacAulay against other Huntersville or Lake Norman neighborhoods, these straight-line distances place it closer to the lake and to Huntersville's own center than to the airport or Uptown.

If you're looking at a single-family, detached home built in the 2000s, MacAulay's housing stock fits that search closely — nearly all homes here fall in that one building era, so you won't be cross-shopping against older or newer construction within the neighborhood itself. That consistency also simplifies renovation comparisons: if you're weighing an update, other homes nearby are working from a similar starting point.
The lot sizes here range widely, from a tenth of an acre to 5.25 acres, so this neighborhood works whether you want a smaller, lower-maintenance yard or considerably more land around the house. If a yard is part of what you're solving for in a move, it's worth looking at where in that range a specific listing falls before assuming all of MacAulay offers the same amount of outdoor space.
With homes ranging from 1,419 to 5,274 square feet, MacAulay covers a wide span of household sizes and layouts, from more compact single-family homes to considerably larger ones. If you're relocating into Huntersville and want a short straight-line distance to I-77 and to Birkdale Village, or you're moving within Lake Norman and want to stay close to Blythe Landing or Ramsey Creek Park, this location puts all of that within a few miles.
