This 0.29 acre homesite at 221 37th Street SW in Hickory offers a versatile canvas for your next build, with a convenient location that balances everyday access and outdoor recreation. The property sits along a street with a mix of site built and manufactured housing in the broader area, but buyers should be aware that the City of Long View no longer permits new mobile homes and this parcel is classified as a nonconforming lot under current standards. Because of the lot’s width, any future construction is expected to require a variance from the City of Long View, and the seller is currently awaiting confirmation from the city regarding the feasibility of a variance. From this southwest Hickory and Burke County location, you are a short drive from city parks and greenway connections within the larger Hickory parks and recreation system, including options for biking, walking, and outdoor enjoyment, as well as convenient access to shopping, dining, and major road connections. Site and utility conditions, together with any building restrictions or required approvals, should be confirmed by the buyer with the appropriate city and county departments prior to construction.
