The Point occupies a peninsula extending into Lake Norman on the Mooresville side of the lake, in Iredell County. It is gated, its interior streets are private, and it is organized around the golf course at its center.
Because drive times here depend heavily on the hour, the direction, and where in the community you start, this page describes the geography rather than publishing fixed minute figures. Check live routing for the specific address before you rely on a number.
The peninsula, and what that means daily.
A peninsula is quiet because it is a destination — nobody drives through The Point on their way somewhere else. The trade-off is that every trip begins with the same segment: interior streets to the gate, then the local road network out to the corridor.
Households evaluating a specific homesite should measure that first segment, not just the highway leg. The difference between a lot near the entrance and one at the far end of the peninsula is real, every day.
Mooresville, Davidson, Cornelius.
Mooresville is the town The Point belongs to and where most errands happen. Davidson, immediately south, is a walkable college town with an independent main street. Cornelius, further south along the lake, adds marinas, lakeside dining, and corridor retail.

Interstate 77 and Charlotte.
I-77 is the spine of the region: it connects the lake towns to uptown Charlotte to the south and to Statesville to the north. Nearly every trip beyond the immediate lake area uses it.
Corridor conditions vary sharply by hour and direction, and the express-lane configuration changes how the trip prices out at peak. Anyone whose decision depends on a commute should drive it twice — once at peak, once off-peak — before committing.
The airport, and travel patterns.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport is south of uptown, which makes it a straightforward I-77 run from the lake in normal conditions and a considerably longer one at peak. Frequent travelers tend to organize flights around mid-morning and mid-afternoon departures for exactly that reason.
Statesville also serves general aviation to the north, and several regional destinations — the mountains to the west, the Carolina coast to the east — sit within a normal weekend drive.
