What does Ward Cleaver have to do with Charlotte Real Estate?

June 29th, 2008 categories: Charlotte Living, Real Estate News

Even native Charlotteans have a hard time with Charlotte’s “wards”. OK so what exactly is a ward (no not that Ward!) Thanks to the Charlotte Observer’s Amy Baldwin today I too learned something about our wards! Here in Charlotte a ward is basically an election district within our Charlotte uptown center city. For some it’s Uptown Charlotte for others Downtown Charlotte ~ either way our wards are hopping! There are four wards and as you can tell from the map Charlotte’s real estate areas are actually pretty well organized.

Now that you know we have ‘em, here are some of the exciting things going on in Charlotte’s four wards?

First Ward: Home to our beloved Levine Museum of the New South, Time Warner Cable Arena home to the Charlotte Bobcats, and the main branch of our excellent library.

Second Ward: Charlotte Government Center, Courthouse and Charlotte’s gleaming new NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Third Ward: Home of the soon to be Super Bowl champion Carolina Panthers and Bank of America stadium, and a very good hometown newspaper the Charlotte Observer.

Fourth Ward: Our award winning Discovery Place museum and iMax theater, some great pubs and historic Victorian homes

So if anyone asks we absolutely have wards and I think we may even still have a beaver or two!
