As pilots, who don't dream of having their homes on the airport, taxing their airplanes straight to the runway and taking off in just minutes?

Today I won't boast about the Alpine airpark in Wyoming or Spruce Creek in Florida that are too far away, but Lake Norman airpark that is just 30 minutes from Charlotte, and 20 minutes from where I live.

The airpark is right on the lake shore, and very close to the marinas. If you want to own a boat as well, a dock is just minutes away. The airport was originally built in the 60's and converted into an airpark in the 90's. Currently, it is owned by the Lake Norman Airpark Owners Association.

So how much does it cost? I checked the price on Zillow and found out it varies from 0.5 million dollars to 1 million dollars. It is not cheap but definitely more affordable than some of the lake houses.

Another good reason to live there is to socialize with other pilots. Every week, the EAA Chapter 309 organizes pilots to build airplanes in their hangars together. I have been to one of them, and in my next video, I will invite the property owners/pilots to share their experience of living in the airpark.
