Shop, dine, play golf and watch a movie at this retail and residential neighborhood in northern Huntersville in North Carolina’s Piedmont region. 

Birkdale Village is a one-stop location for bargain hunting, clothes shopping and entertainment. This 52-acre (21-hectare) neighborhood has the ambiance of a traditional Main Street retail district in a typical U.S. town. It features elegant architecture, wide pavements, tree-lined streets and a central square. Visit Birkdale Village to discover its collection of more than 60 shops, cafés and fast-food and gourmet restaurants. 

Browse for the latest fashion trends at well-known outlets such as Gap, American Eagle Outfitters and Banana Republic. Seek out one-of-a-kind accessories, clothes and shoes at independent boutiques. Find stores that specialize in beauty products, children’s apparel, housewares, jewelry, sunglasses and spices. Get your hair styled, have a manicure or treat yourself to a massage. 

The village’s range of dining options make it a lively destination both during the day and late into the evening. Feast on Asian noodle dishes, barbecued meats, hamburgers with eclectic toppings, Mexican fare and pizzas baked in a brick oven. Opt for healthy items, including organic juices and Mediterranean-inspired salads. Purchase a bottle of your favorite varietal at the wine stores. 

Enjoy the village’s relaxed atmosphere in the central plaza, decorated with an interactive water fountain. At the end of the afternoon, observe as local residents return to their homes, many located above the shops. A 16-screen movie theater provides fun for all ages. Just south of the neighborhood is Birkdale Golf Club, a picturesque 18-hole course designed by the legendary American golfer Arnold Palmer.

The village is north of Huntersville and close to the eastern shore of Lake Norman. Take a public bus here from the city of Charlotte with a journey time of about 1 hour. If you drive, use the large parking lot at the southern edge of the village. Street parking is also available, although spaces fill up fast. 

Businesses at Birkdale Village are open year-round. Check the village’s official website for information about the opening hours of the individual shops and restaurants.
