Transportation
The Villages affords a unique point of access in North Carolina. You'll be away from the hustle and bustle, but mere minutes from several major interstate highways that can guide you to the Blue Ridge Mountains or the Atlantic seashore within a morning's drive.
The Villages is just 1 mile from US 74, a major artery that provides the link between Interstate 85 (Charlotte to Atlanta) and Interstate 26, the gateway to the mountains and the fabled Blue Ridge Parkway.
