South Park Charlotte Experience

Would you enjoy the luxury of working and playing within minutes of each other? Would you enjoy a relatively short commute to your office rather than having to fight the Charlotte Uptown traffic? These dreams can be your reality if you live in SouthPark, a mixed-use upscale community in South Charlotte. The SouthPark community is near the intersection of Sharon Road and Fairview Road about five miles from Uptown Charlotte. I love South Park because it is where I live and it is just 10 minutes from everything. Charlotte homes may be a little older but the neighborhoods are established with big trees and stable neighborhoods.

SouthPark is a diverse mix of high-rise condos, town homes, and single-family homes. The housing choices are varied limited only by your budget. Homes range in price from the low $100s to over $6 million. The average Charlotte home price in SouthPark in September 2008 was $481,749.80. The average home price in SouthPark in October 2008 was $435,910.80. Thus, home prices appear to be slightly coming down in SouthPark despite the upscale nature of this Charlotte community. This may be indicative of the current state of the economy.

The SouthPark community is home to the largest shopping mall in Charlotte, the SouthPark Mall . The mall sits at the intersection of Sharon Road and Fairview Road. South Park Mall is home to such upscale department stores as Nordstrom’s and Neiman Marcus. SouthPark Mall also includes several upscale dining options including Maggiano’s Little Italy Restaurant and The Cheesecake Factory. During the summer months, many SouthPark residents and Charlotte area residents enjoy the free concerts provided by the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra on the grounds of the mall. These FREE  Summer Pops concerts are a great way to meet your Charlotte neighbors.

The SouthPark business district is the second-largest business district in North Carolina with an estimated 40,000 workers and approximately 5 million square feet of office space according to the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. Major Charlotte companies like National Gypsum and Piedmont Natural Gas are headquartered in SouthPark. In addition, regional offices of national companies like Maersk and CSX are also in the SouthPark area. Working and living in the SouthPark community can be your reality.
These are only a few highlights of the SouthPark community. Do you want to hear more about the sights and sounds of the SouthPark area? We or your prospective neighbors would love to hear you. We can tell you why SouthPark is the place to be.
