Hickory’s 28601 sits in the Catawba Valley beside Lake Hickory, offering four-season foothills living with mild winters, warm summers, and mountain-framed sunsets. Neighborhoods range from walkable downtown/Union Square and the arts-filled SALT Block to quiet, tree-lined streets in Viewmont and along the lake, where paddling and fishing are weekend staples. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $1,350, with most listings between roughly $1,000 and $1,900, and higher on the water. The area blends family- and pet-friendly green space—Glenn C. Hilton Jr. Memorial Park, Geitner Park, and the Hickory Trail greenway—with a laid-back dining and brewery scene: Olde Hickory Brewery and Tap Room, Olde Hickory Station, Hatch Sandwich Bar, plus coffee at Taste Full Beans and Taproot. Everyday needs are easy with Publix, Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, ALDI, Valley Hills Mall, and Planet Fitness nearby, plus fast I-40/US-321 access, the Downtown Hickory farmers market, and the city’s annual Oktoberfest.
