Local Market Insight

The town's established infrastructure—water, sewer, and established roads—positions it well for future development. As Charlotte's growth continues pushing eastward, communities like Marshville with existing infrastructure will absorb development faster than purely rural areas.
The Reality
Marshville incorporated in 1877—this is an established community, not a new development. The town has its own identity, shaped by over 140 years of history. While Union County's premium suburbs attract the headlines, Marshville quietly offers the same county benefits at significantly lower price points.
The eastern part of Union County where Marshville sits hasn't experienced the same development pressure as the western suburbs closer to Charlotte. That's changing—growth spreads—but currently, Marshville represents one of the last affordable entry points into Union County's market.
For investors, Marshville offers the infrastructure development play. The town has water, sewer, and established roads. As Charlotte's growth continues to push eastward, communities with existing infrastructure will absorb development faster than purely rural areas. Strategic buyers recognize this pattern.
