Union blends quiet, countryside living with easy access to big-city opportunities. Set in Union County, residents enjoy room to breathe while staying within a short drive of both Monroe for everyday errands and Charlotte for careers, culture, and major-league entertainment. Outdoor time comes naturally here: spend a day paddling, fishing, or hiking at the county’s signature destination, Cane Creek Park, operated by Parks & Recreation at the lake’s edge and open year-round for family outings and campouts. The regional trail network adds even more mileage, with the Carolina Thread Trail’s Twelve Mile Creek Greenway connecting scenic creek corridors and shaded boardwalks.
Families are well served by Union County Public Schools, a district known for innovative programs, strong test scores, and specialized academies. Lifelong learners can upskill or earn credentials at South Piedmont Community College’s nearby campuses, and the Union County Public Library offers free programs, makerspaces, and community events. Health needs are covered by Atrium Health Union in Monroe, a full-service hospital with a busy emergency department and specialty care. Day-to-day services, from permitting to parks programming, are coordinated through the county government.
Whether you’re drawn by the fresh air, the schools, or the straightforward commute, Union offers a comfortable pace without sacrificing convenience.
