Whether you are looking for a place to live and raise a family, an exceptional place to establish or relocate a business, or a stop on your travels to see some Christmas lights, then McAdenville is the perfect choice for you.
McAdenville is a town with a strong sense of community. In 1956, individuals from the McAdenville’s Mens Club decided it would be nice to decorate a few living trees around the Community Center. Nine trees were lit that year. Today, almost a half million lights decorate some 400 trees with special displays that surround the lake at the town’s center and have earned McAdenville the title of “Christmastown, USA”.
The local YMCA is a popular spot for McAdenville’s citizens.
McAdenville is a dynamic community of slightly more than 600 residents. A majority of the old frame mill houses that stood for decades have been replaced with upscale single-family homes built around the town’s central lake. A lighted bridge has been constructed with sidewalks and bike lanes which cross over the South Fork River. The South Fork River is a vital part of the heritage of McAdenville, and the town constantly strives to protect and preserve it so that future generations can enjoy its beauty and the recreational opportunities it offers residents.
Whether you’re just in town for a visit or have lived here for years, friendly neighbors, accommodating businesses and green spaces contribute to its charmed essence. McAdenville has made a name for itself nationally while retaining the charm of a cozy village where everybody knows your name.
