The Community
Established neighborhood with tree-lined streets a short walk to Roosevelt Wilson Park.
History
Davidson Woods was platted in the early 1990s on a heavily wooded parcel just south of downtown Davidson. The plan called for custom homes on half- to full-acre wooded lots, with deed restrictions designed to preserve the tree canopy and architectural consistency for the long term.
Lifestyle
Life in Davidson Woods is set to the rhythm of Davidson — morning walks on the greenway, midday lunches on Main Street, evening grill nights on screened porches under the canopy. Many original buyers still live in the community, and second-generation residents have bought homes nearby.
