Newer developments in Concord have higher density and small lots and often have parks and green space for the community's use, such as the small Poplar Cove development shown here.

This is part of continuing series about the city of Concord and issues facing the city from the perspective of members of city council.

Concord City Councilperson
I love reminding people about the greatness of the City of Concord. In 2020, an independent survey reported that 88% of our residents said that Concord is an excellent/good place to live. This rating is among the highest of all cities in North Carolina. Just recently, our wider Cabarrus County also got similarly high compliments. As a result, our housing market is booming.
