Silver Quay Homes for Sale

Community Highlights

Silver Quay is a compact Lake Norman townhouse community in Cornelius where the headline feature is direct shoreline access, not a distant neighborhood amenity tucked behind the homes. The community is built around 370 feet of shoreline, with a boat ramp, dock and day-dock access, paddleboard and kayak launch points, storage for water gear, and a lakefront pool that keeps the water in view. That combination gives Silver Quay a genuine on-the-water identity that is unusual at this price point in Cornelius.

The homes are primarily two-story townhomes from 1994 and 1995, typically offering two or three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. Listings regularly highlight sunrooms with floor-to-ceiling glass, screened porches, patios, see-through gas fireplaces, breakfast-bar kitchens, vaulted primary suites, and attached one-car garages. Updated interiors are common rather than occasional, with granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, fresh paint, new flooring, renovated baths, and replacement windows appearing throughout the community. Several homes also feature dual-suite bedroom layouts, while some three-bedroom plans place the primary suite on the main level.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Silver Quay’s amenity package runs deeper than many small townhouse communities. In addition to the waterfront pool, residents have access to tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, picnic space, sidewalks and green-space walking paths, plus boat slips that are deeded to select homes or rented when openings are available. Listings also reference an 11-slip marina, reinforcing the boating focus and explaining why deeded slips and rear lake-facing positions tend to command a premium.

The setting stays visually tied to the lake. Some homes carry year-round Lake Norman views, while others open to cove views, wooded edges, or landscaped common areas near the shoreline. End units, lake-facing homes, and units with boat-slip access sit at the top of the community’s price range. Recent exterior work, including siding updates, adds to the low-maintenance townhouse profile.
