Waxhaw is a tiny town located 20 miles south of Charlotte’s central business district and two miles from the South Carolina state line. Waxhaw is mostly a Charlotte suburb, yet it is far enough out in the country to retain its distinct character as a delightful rural community full with timeless Southern Americana.
Much of the terrain is made up of groomed lawns and majestic residences, with a tight downtown center along North Main and South Main containing popular cafes, charming taverns, and one-of-a-kind specialty businesses. Waxhaw is ideal for Charlotte-area commuters raising children because of its low crime rate and excellent public schools.
