Marvin does not have a downtown area but there is a nice new shopping center being built on the corner of Providence Rd and Weddington Rd.There aren't a lot of restaurants in Marvin but it is in a great spot so good food is less than five minutes away. Ming Fu Sushi and Chinese is a hop over in Waxhaw, McAlister's Deli in a hop over in Charlotte, and 521 BBQ and Grill is a hop over in Fort Mill, SC.The schools in Marvin are really good schools and on a scale of 1 to 10 it is a 9. It is in a county that is currently going through a redistricting process and the parents of Marvin are not happy about the changes that may take place. The parents are happy with the schools their children attend in Marvin and they do not want it to change.This is a nice town for singles because it is minutes away from the large city of Charlotte.
NoiseCompared to other placesBest hospitalTourist attractions
This is a quiet little town but there is a small airport a few miles away but it does not receive large plans. There are a lot of industrial businesses on the west end of Marvin and they receive large trucks that can be a little loud during the day but most of the businesses are apart from the communities.Marvin NC is a small affluent town with a lot of large homes it is not large like Charlotte, NC and it doesn't have a lot a restaurants like Charlotte.

Marvin NC is small and doesn't have as many career opportunities as Waxhaw, NC. Waxhaw also has more shopping grocery stores than Marvin.
The closet hospital for the residents of Marvin is Carolina's Medical Center of Waxhaw. It is part of a large healthcare system and has good doctors but most major illnesses and injuries are cared for in Charlotte.The nicest place to visit it the nice park on the campus of Marvin Elementary School, Hunter Farm is just down the road in Weddington, and any community clubhouse pool in this town just take your pick.
General comments   
Marvin is the town of gated communities, pools, and large homes. The residents are nice and friendly but if you are not as privileged as the residents in Marvin you might feel out of place. The residents are busy going about their lives so do not get offended if you do not get a long conversation from a local when you bump into them at the market. Even though you may not get a long conversation you will get a smile.
