Millbridge, a great place to find a new home in a master-planned community.

Charlotte’s only covered bridge to welcome you into the community.  An amenity center with a 12,000 square foot clubhouse, two pools and an airnasium.  A nearby town park with sports fields.  A recently-built elementary school within walking distance.
