Serving Steele Creek from Our Belmont Location
Steele Creek is a community and neighborhood in the southwestern part of Mecklenburg County. According to Wikipedia, the population was 76,301 as of 2020, roughly two-thirds of which is located within the City of Charlotte. The community experienced more than a 70% population boom between 2000 and 2007, making it the fastest-growing region of Charlotte/Mecklenburg County.
We’re based in Belmont, approximately 15-20 minutes from Steele Creek via I-85 and I-485. Steele Creek’s convenient location offers easy access to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (15-20 minutes), Uptown Charlotte (20-25 minutes), and Lake Wylie along its southwestern border.
The community derives its name from a small creek in the area, believed to be named after Scots-Irish immigrants who settled here in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Settlers arrived before the Revolutionary War, and some original signers of the Mecklenburg County Declaration of Independence lived here when that document was signed in 1775.
