Uptown Charlotte NC
Home to a multitude of cultural arts as well as two professional sports teams, the Carolina Panthers and the Charlotte Bobcats, Charlotte has one of the fastest growing center cities in America. Upscale, upbeat Uptown restaurants abound, with world-renowned chefs “at every turn” even Johnson and Wales culinary school calls this home!
Many professionals call Uptown Charlotte NC, home simply to avoid traffic to and from the suburbs. Uptown is home to private as well as public schools, giving rise to an increase in center city family living as well. Retirees also find Uptown’s cultural events and fabulous restaurants a draw for them. Many uptown residents do not even own automobiles, using the trolley system, LYNX (our light rail system) and CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System-bus) to travel to suburban destinations.
New skyscrapers with fabulous high-tech amenities are going up as quickly as your Starbuck’s coffee is polished off following your morning stroll in Uptown Charlotte! Many buildings are simply in the planning stages, selling units in advance to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for Uptown Charlotte’s real estate.
In the mid-1800′s, the area had began to boom and the city fathers, using the intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets, divided the village into four quadrants. Each quadrant represented a political ‘ward,’ each having its’ own elected official representative. These wards, abandoned the political divisions in the mid-1900′s but, kept their names as First, Second, Third and Fourth Wards.
Take a look into YOUR future with a view of Charlotte’s impressive Uptown skyline–be a part of our ever-changing, ever-growing home. We’d love to have you!
