Who is behind this guide.

This Matthews guide is published within Nicholas and Miriam Peters’ portfolio of real estate, homebuilding, design and related websites. It is not the official Town of Matthews website, is not affiliated with any homeowners association, and is not an independent publisher reviewing unrelated companies.

The Peters businesses listed below are associated with the publisher. Where a guide mentions one, it is because the subject is relevant — not a third-party endorsement. Facts that change, such as school assignments, taxes and boundaries, are pointed to official sources to check for a specific address.

The guide brings together the questions people ask when considering Matthews: which communities fit their lifestyle, how schools and jurisdiction are determined, where to eat and spend a weekend, and what it takes to buy, sell, build or renovate a home here. Every guide is written to stay useful over time rather than chase short-lived headlines.

Our community directory profiles Matthews-area neighborhoods with published evidence of homes at $500,000 and above, with maps and practical guidance. The address-check page explains how to confirm town limits, county, schools, taxes and building jurisdiction for a specific property.

How we handle facts

We describe places and processes, and we point readers to the responsible agency for anything that varies by parcel or changes over time. We do not publish individual listings, invented market statistics or school assignments for a neighborhood. Photographs are illustrative of the region and labeled as such.

Why the Peters family

Nicholas and Miriam Peters work across real estate, custom homebuilding, interior design and home technology in the Charlotte region. That combination informs the guide: it covers not only where to live, but how homes are bought, built, designed and improved.
