PROVIDING A SANCTUARY FROM HECTIC EVERYDAY LIFE! The Sanctuary is a luxury lake community located just 14 miles from the center of Charlotte, and it truly provides the best of both worlds. Extensive, beautiful, treed lots allow homeowners to feel as if they are in nature and provide plenty of privacy. Because the clearing of trees is limited, there aren’t necessarily large lawns to maintain. The residents, ranging from young families to empty nesters, see each other regularly at the community’s amenities. The residents also host benefits and collect donations for local causes at the Camp. The Sanctuary, a waterfront community in Charlotte with a collection of well-appointed homes surrounded by nature.

What is a jumbo CD, and should I open one? By Sabrina Karl
Anytime you shop around for CDs, you’ll notice that, in addition to their menu of standard options, some banks and credit unions also offer an array of jumbo certificates. What are these products and do they follow different rules than regular CDs?
Everything else about jumbo CDs works the same as standard CDs. A fixed interest rate and maturity term are specified at the outset, and the account must stay funded for the full duration. If cashed out early, a penalty will be applied, and whether this is the same as the penalty for regular CDs will depend on the bank.
As you can guess, a jumbo CD simply requires a much larger deposit than a standard CD. Traditionally, the threshold for jumbo CDs has So if you have a large sum to save in a deposit account, should you been $100,000.
