Uptown
In September 1974, Charlotte City Council passed an official proclamation that said “The heart of Charlotte should be now and forever more known as Uptown Charlotte.” (If you are driving into the city on Randolph Road, you’ll notice the city sits ‘up’ above the surrounding area!) Uptown is split at the intersection of Tryon and Trade Streets and divided into four wards, all encircled by the 277 and 77 Interstates. Many residents of Uptown are professionals, given the large presence of corporations and even Fortune 500 companies. Uptown brings many tourist visitors with pro sports and other attractions.
Myers Park
As a resident of Myers Park, I am biased that it is one of the best locations in Charlotte! The history of the neighborhood begins with its namesake, John Spring Myers, coming into his inheritance in 1869 which included more than 300 acres of farmland. Our neighborhood is well known for its beautiful oak trees, many over 100 years old. We are home to some of the city’s best restaurants as well as the beautiful Freedom Park. Many avid outdoor enthusiasts enjoy running and biking on our ‘Booty Loop’ through Myers Park. You’ll find the confusing intersection of “Queens and Queens” and “Providence and Providence” heading into Uptown. This neighborhood has a mix of traditional, colonial and Tudor style homes.
Eastover
Across the street from Myers Park, you’ll find another prominent Charlotte neighborhood known as Eastover. It was the city’s first suburb to build houses with driveways. Its Mint Museum attracts visitors from all over the city and state. Homes in this area are among the top of the price points in Charlotte. Homes and lots are on the larger side, with many stately colonial designs.
Plaza Midwood
In my next chapter, I’d definitely choose to live in Plaza Midwood, aka ‘Plaza.’ In this quirky Charlotte neighborhood, you’ll find a lot of diversity of both residents and businesses. This suburb is known as one of Charlotte’s more eclectic areas. It began in the early 1900s and by the 1950s was realy thriving. It is home to the Van Landingham Estate as well as Charlotte Country Club. Many of the historic homes are bungalows or craftsman style.v
Dilworth
Dilworth was Charlotte’s first streetcar suburb, established by Edward Dilworth Latta in the 1890s. Its streets have beautiful, mature oaks and many homes with front porches. Dilworth is home to the popular East Boulevard which is lined with restaurants, offices and shops. Much of the neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Most homes around this suburb are bungalows and two-story colonials.
Cotswold
Home to one of the city’s first suburban malls, many Charlotteans still frequent ‘Cotswold Village Shops’ as an anchor in what is emerging into one of Charlotte’s most desirable neighborhoods for close proximity to Uptown. Cotswold offers everything you need in a neighborhood – retailers, restaurants and shopping, medical facilities and schools. Here, there are generally larger lots, many have large midcentury ranches which are being updated, renovated or replaced with larger, new construction homes.
Southend
Southend is a thriving neighborhood that has seen explosive growth in the past ten years. It is known for its vibrant nightlife with tons of craft breweries, restaurants and shopping. Its home of the Lynx Blue Line as well as Charlotte Rail trail which is popular with runners and cyclists. The neighborhood is primarily newer development that is well stocked with apartments and condos, just a short light rail ride from Uptown.
NoDa
North Davidson (abbreviated ‘NoDa’) is located just north of Uptown and also referenced as Charlotte’s historic arts and entertainment district. Here, you will find all walks of life and a talented array of artists and musicians. You will find an abundance of historic mill houses given its former era as a textile manufacturer. In recent years, there has been a boom in residential construction – especially multifamily – given its proximity to the light rail.
South Park
This highly desirable neighborhood boasts a wide collection of single-family homes, modern townhomes and condominiums – as well as a plethora of corporate parks, businesses and shopping destinations. It hosts SouthPark Mall and Phillips Place, the city’s best upscale shopping centers full of luxury brands.
Ballantyne
Originally a large hunting tract owned by a wealth family, Ballantyne is now regarded as one of the most successful master-planned communities in the United States. Home to Ballantyne Village and other amenities, residents of Ballantyne have everything they need in very close proximity in sort of a ‘self-contained city.’ Known for its shopping centers, high end business parks and hotels, this suburb showcases a lot of newer development and luxury suburban lifestyles.
South Charlotte
While not a single neighborhood, the area we reference as ‘South Charlotte’ is actually a conglomeration of many neighborhoods including Ashley Park, Starmount, Caramel and Cedarwood. My clients find South Charlotte an appealing option to gain more space with more reasonable prices than many areas around Charlotte. South Charlotte is a broad area and I have extensive experience working in this part of our city’s market.
