Welcome to Providence Downs & Providence Downs South
A paragon of residential excellence, these sophisticated, luxury communities are steeped in premier amenities and jaw-dropping homes.
In the charismatic town of Waxhaw, North Carolina, the exclusive, gated communities of Providence and Providence Downs South offer up a wealth of luxury and serenity for their affluent residents. Here, palatial homes are nestled in a gorgeous, verdant landscape, surrounded by sprawling horse farms and only minutes away from top-tier epicenters for entertainment.
The central pulse of Providence Downs is its community clubhouse, a place for socializing, recreation, and relaxation. Among the clubhouse’s many amenities are those such as an Olympic-sized pool, tennis and basketball courts, walking trails, and exercise facilities. And while residents might not have to leave their enclave to experience an abundance of fun, they’re conveniently situated within close proximity of well-known destinations such as Ballantyne Village.
The homes of Providence Downs and Providence Downs South are aptly associated with adjectives such as opulent, commanding, and stunning. These magnificent abodes are well-deserving of their reputation and typically come equipped with their own array of covetable features. From stately, castle-like stone exteriors to gorgeous traditional designs replete with aesthetically-pleasing blends of architectural styles and everything in between, the properties of both communities always impress.
What to Love
- Gated entrances for a heightened sense of privacy and security
- Large lots and even larger interiors — plenty of room to breathe
- Living minutes from many of Charlotte’s greatest attractions
Local Lifestyle
At both Providence Downs and Providence Downs South, privacy is a highly valued treasure. While residents might love the social opportunities that come from community amenities and events, they equally love their ability to step away from the tumult of day-to-day life in their own secluded little retreats. It’s an active community, and when they aren’t tucked away in their own homes, residents are often enjoying the trails and surrounding natural scenery.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
There are few retail destinations in Union County that can compare to Ballantyne Village, the upscale commercial center a mere 15 minutes north of the Providence Downs Clubhouse. As an open-air mall, Ballantyne Village is occupied by a mix of lifestyle servicers, upmarket boutiques, and exceptional dining.
Even closer to the residents of Providence Downs and Providence Downs South, The Shops at Blakeney bring together the best of dining, retail, and entertainment all in one location. Fashion boutiques and national brands sit side-by-side, and a central Village Green acts as the stage for special events and performances. At Blakeney, too, a pristine park space caters to those with children and includes a splash pad for warmer weather and a playground that can be enjoyed all year.
A quick trip north along Highway 16 will land retail enthusiasts at one of the most revered mixed-use developments around, Rea Farms, for shopping, fine dining, and exciting events. Within the village and directly across the highway, visitors can browse for almost anything — from the all-organic groceries at Whole Foods to the latest trends at fashion boutiques and all-occasion gifts at specialty shops.
Things to Do
One major appeal to living in the Providence Downs and Providence Downs South neighborhoods is being positioned in close proximity to both small-town events and the glimmering excitement of the Queen City itself, Charlotte. Local celebrations like the annual Fall Festival in Indian Land often draw in upwards of 20,000 visitors with their revelry, and the Waxhaw 4th of July Celebration includes live entertainment as well as a ton of food truck vendors.
The crown jewel for foodies in the Charlotte area, however, is the bi-annual Charlotte Restaurant Week, also known as Queen’s Feast. At this special, highly anticipated event, attendees are offered prix-fixe deals on 3-course menus, treats, and signature dishes from the hottest restaurants in and around the city.

- Sandy Ridge Elementary School, PK & K-5, highly-rated public elementary ranked as the #5 best in the county
