A guide to South End Charlotte

by

A guide to all things South End Charlotte

The best breweries, restaurants and more

If you’ve lived in Charlotte for more than a month, chances are, you’ve heard South End is a pretty happening area within our bustling city. If you’re a Charlotte native, you probably still can’t believe how much the area has changed since it was a dead-zone with very little activity just over a decade ago. 

Although this Charlotte hot-spot is full of new and exciting activity, it actually boasts quite the history. For example, in the late 1800’s, a railroad was developed through the heart of South End. You may have seen the remnants of it near Atherton Mill, along today’s light rail tracks. To read more about the history of South End, click here. Keep reading to learn more about all the fun that South End has to offer.

South End Breweries 

Lenny Boy Brewing

Possibly the best thing about Lenny Boy Brewing is the ample amount of parking space. The brewery right on South Tryon, within a gated parking lot. Most weekends you’ll find a food truck parked outside beside the patio area. In addition to a great beer selection, Lenny Boy also serves Kombucha on tap. 

Suffolk Punch

Suffolk Punch is nestled right along the lightrail at New Bern station. The first thing you’ll notice when you step foot into this brewery is the heaps of greenery hanging from the ceiling. They’ve got a brunch that’s to die for and an outdoor seating area with an extra bar outside. During the winter, they cover the outdoor seating area to keep it heated. If you’re looking for a trendy spot to show off to an out-of-towner, this is it. 

Triple C

Triple C brewery is just up the street from Suffolk Punch. One of Charlotte’s OG breweries, you won’t find many instagram photo-ops, but you will find delicious beer and a laid back crowd. If you ever need an awesome event space, check out their Barrel Room. 

Sycamore Brewing

Sycamore seems to be the spot that all the youngest professionals gravitate to. That being said, it’s always full of adorable dogs. During the summers, Sycamore Brewing hosts Food Truck Friday, so you can find dozens of Charlotte’s best local food trucks in their back lot, right along the light rail. Parking isn’t bad either. You can park along the road or in their designated parking lot. This place is ALWAYS crowded, and for good reason, so get there early if you want to avoid the crowd. 

 

Wooden Robot

If there’s one thing Wooden Robot is best known for, it’s the Good Morning Vietnam beer. Somehow this beer is light and rich at the same time. It’s sweet but refreshing and– just try it for yourself. Actually, Wooden Robot’s entire menu is full of delicious beers you’ll love. The inside can get a little cramped, but they have a great outdoor patio space in the heart of South End as well. 

The Unknown

Another OG Charlotte brewery, the Unknown is tucked away in the Gold District (north-western corner of the South End area.) The Unknown doesn’t seem to get quite as much buzz as the newer South End breweries, making a great getaway spot from the crowds of South End. You’ll love their beers and the fun atmosphere 

 

South End Restaurants

Link & Pin

Lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Great place for small plates to share with a group. Brunch options includes chicken and waffles and shimp and grits. Super trendy and instagrammable. 

The Waterman

Newer spot in Sedgefield Harris Teeter plaza. Has an awesome rooftop patio and $1 oyster happy hour. You’ll love the cocktails and appetizer options. 

The Dunavant

$20 steaks and all you can eat fries towards Sycamore brewing. In a renovated warehouse space with tons of character. 

Luna’s Living Kitchen

In the heart of the revamped Atherton Mill shopping center, you can find delicious plant-based options at Luna’s along with lots of good smoothie options. A great place to stop in while shopping at Atherton’s endless array of newly opened shops. Tall windows, exposed brick, natural light, and eclectic furniture. You’ll love this atmosphere!

Mac’s Speed Shop

A South End staple. Great place to get some pulled pork and listen to live music. Open air bar area in the summertime. A little grungier and different from the trendy millennial spots popular to this area.

Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Another Charleston restaurant has made its way to Charlotte! This grab-n-go biscuit counter is on Tremont and offers a range of sweet and salty biscuit meals. 

Bang Bang Burger

Might be the best burger in Charlotte. On Tremont next to Zeppelin’s. 

Common Market

Everything from breakfast sandwhiches to candy bars. Stop at Common Market for a midday snack, or beer, or meal. This eclectic market is another South End staple, and the new location on Tremont is bigger and better than ever. 

O-Ku

Charleston concept in Charlotte. Delicious sushi in a fun atmosphere. Great place for a girls night or a date. 

Seoul Food  Meat Company

Unique korean dishes and asian craft beers. Book a private karaoke bar or play one of the many games in the outside area. 


Let’s Meat

From the owners of Seoul Food, this all you can eat asian style BBQ joint let’s you cook your own meat on the tables’ built in burners

Root’s Cafe

Such a cozy little restaurant with delicious and pretty healthy food options! They recently added a patio that makes this the perfect springtime destination for a tasty lunch or brunch. If you’re looking for a quaint and intimate event space, this is a great option!

Hawker’s

Asian street fare style menu with awesome drink options. Fun atmosphere and even better location! Head to Jenni’s afterward for ice cream!

Superica

Delicious tex mex, perfect for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Huge restaurant with delicious margaritas. The lunch specials are awesome. 

Barcelona Wine Bar

Such a fun spot with an amazing atmosphere right beside Superica. You’ll love the warm bread they serve, and the plethora of spanish tapas options on the menu. 

Price’s Chicken Coop

A Charlotte staple, Price’s is arguably the most delicious fried chicken in the city. You won’t find any instagram-worthy photo ops at this gem, but the hole-in-the-wall nature of this restaurant makes it as unique as it is!

Flower Child

Delicious health food options with an extremely charming atmosphere. You order-at-the-counter but it doesn’t feel fast casual. You’ll love the patio in the summertime and the delicious drink options.

 

South End cafes and desserts

Nekter Juice Bar – delicious fresh squeezed juice and smoothie options
Stable Hand Coffee – craft coffee bar on remount (previously Hex)
Not Just Coffee – Charlotte’s trendiest coffee spot, natural light, brick, lots of greenery

Uptown Charlotte’s Four Wards

by

Uptown Charlotte’s Four Wards

What to do, where to eat, and what you’ll find

One of the unique things about uptown Charlotte (besides the fact that it’s called ‘Uptown‘) are its 4 distinct wards, which divide our city into quadrants. They meet at the intersection of Trade and Tryon. Each quadrant of the city is a little different from the next. Each has its own personality. Keep reading to learn about the history of Uptown Charlotte’s four wards, and what gems you can find there. 

First Ward

The first of uptown Charlotte’s four wards is the eastern-most quadrant. You’ll find beautiful townhomes, craftsman style houses and tree-lined streets here, all with a breathtaking backdrop of our skyline. 

First Ward must-do’s

7th street public market:

a bustling food hall full of delicious eats and local vendors. You can shop for Charlotte retail items like hats and bumper stickers at CLT find, or you can have a delicious crepe from Hazelnuts. It’s a great place to visit with the family on a rainy Saturday, or a prime spot for a coffee meetup during the week. It sits right on the 7th street light rail stop.

First Ward Park:

First Ward Park sits just across the street from 7th Street Public Market. In the summer you’ll find kids running through the fountains that sprout up from the ground while yogi’s practice poses on the lawn. While your kids play, you can get some exercise in on the built-in equipment.

ImaginOn:

ImaginOn is an amazing children’s library and theatre. The facility is a collaboration between the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and Children’s Threatre of Charlotte. It has a children’s library, a teen-onky library, interactive exhibits, and multiple theatres.

The Mecklenburg County Library:

A library may not seem all that exciting, but the one coming soon to the First Ward of uptown Charlotte certainly is. The building plans speak for themselves. Check it out here!

 

Second Ward

The second of uptown Charlotte’s four wards is the southernmost quadrant. The Second Ward is probably best known for the epicenter, a hub of bars and restaurants that comes to life late-night. You’ll find a lot of modern luxury style apartments in the Second Ward. Perhaps the most exciting new addition to this ward is the Whole Foods on Stonewall. Speaking of Stonewall, the soon to be corridor of buildings that are currently under construction on this street is said to become the new “Trade and Tryon” which has always been considered the “heart of our city.”

Second Ward must Do’s

Nascar Hall of Fame:

A museum dedicated to Nascar. Whether or not you’re a Nascar person, the history of the sport is fun to learn about. During the holidays, there’s an ice rink here!

City Lights rooftop bar:

At the top of the Le Meridien hotel, you’ll find some of the best skyline views at this swanky rooftop lounge.

Uptown Charlotte's Four Wards: City Lights

View from City Lights rooftop bar

Fahrenheit:

Another amazing skyline view with delicious bites to go along with it. You may just see a famous athlete dining here. After dinner, grab a drink on the patio next to one of the many gas fire pits. Don’t forget to grab a photo while you’re up there!

Third Ward:

The third of Charlotte’s four wards might have the most potential for future growth, but that doesn’t keep it from being busier than ever thanks to the BB&T ballpark. You’ll find quaint bungalow style houses and contemporary condominiums in this northern quadrant of uptown Charlotte. It’s also home to Johnson and Wales University.

Third Ward must do’s

Visit Brevard Court and Latta Arcade:

A bite-size piece of history plopped down into a concrete cityscape. You’ll find one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants in this little brick alleyway, dotted with edison lights throughout.

Uptown Charlotte's Four Wards: Latta Arcade

Romare Bearden Park:

Another fun uptown fountain the kids will love, only with better views. This fountain lights up colorfully at night and sometimes you may be lucky enough to stumble upon a musician putting on a show.

City view from Romare Bearden Park

Romare Bearden Park fountain

Knights Game at BB&T ballpark:

You’ll love the liveliness as much as the views at Charlotte’s baseball stadium. Fun for the whole family!

Panthers game at Bank of America Stadium:

Enough said. #keeppounding

Graham Street pub:

A new Third Ward restaurant with a rooftop patio. Perfect for pregaming for the big game, or for a bite afterward!

Fourth Ward

Charlotte’s Fourth Ward, or westernmost quadrant, is perhaps the “coziest” of the wards. The streets are quiet and lined with trees, historic homes and charming brick buildings. Something about the Fourth Ward feels, well, unlike uptown Charlotte. If you’re a jogger or just looking for some fresh air, this is the best place to get outside in uptown Charlotte.

Fourth Ward must do’s:

Alexander Michael’s:

Similar to Brevard Court, Alexander Michael’s (also known among locals as Al Mikes) almost seems out of place, like a little piece of history plopped down into the city. You’ll recognize it by the old school pickup truck parked out front.

Dandelion Market:

A go-to for small plates and brunch, you’ll love the atmosphere in this restaurant. If you’re not the partying type, just be weary of showing up too late, as the tables literally get suspended from the ceiling to make room for the dance floor after 10pm.

Discovery Place:

Another great option for kids! Discovery Place is a museum with science and technology centered exhibits, many of which are interactive.

There are endless amounts of places to eat and things to do in each of the four wards of Charlotte. Uptown Charlotte is ever changing, with dozens of new things opening up every week and new construction being delivered constantly! Venture into the heart and soul of our growing city and check out the personalities of each ward for yourself!

Charlotte Real Estate Market in 2020

by

Charlotte Real Estate Market in 2020

Buying or selling? Here’s how the Charlotte Real Estate market may affect you

Perhaps the number one question Realtors get is “how is the Charlotte real estate market ?” Followed by: “when is the best time to sell or buy?” Whether you are looking to buy a new home or sell your current home this year, the best place to start is by diving into as much information as you can get your hands on, so you can create an effective game plan for your journey. Let’s start by discussing the state of the Charlotte real estate market in 2020.

 

 

Charlotte Skyline

Photo by Daniel Weiss

Charlotte, NC ranked 2nd fastest-growing city

According to the Charlotte Observer, everyone from big business owners to small families around the country have their eye on Charlotte as a possible relocation destination. Our little southern banking town isn’t so little anymore, and it’s certainly not just a banking hub these days. The north side of South Boulevard was merely warehouses and old mills over a decade ago; but now, it’s a bustling metropolitan hot spot full of activity. If you were seeing it for the first time in 10 years, you wouldn’t recognize it at all.

Charlotte Real Estate statistics

According to the MLS, 2019 ended with a flurry of housing activity. From December 2018 to December 2019, home sales grew by 17.2%.  During the year of 2019, 50,854 properties sold in the Charlotte region, which was a 5.9% increase from 2018.

The Canopy Realtor® Association provides monthly reports on residential real estate market activity for the Charlotte region based on data from Canopy MLS. The Charlotte region, which this report is based on, includes 12 counties in North Carolina and four counties in South Carolina.

Demand still increasing

Pending sales, which continue to show tremendous demand from buyers, increased by 8.9% from 2018 to 2019. December figures showed demand soared upwards by 22.3% compared to last December as buyers continue to seek homes across the region.

Still a “seller’s market”

Prices continued to respond to strong seller’s market conditions, with the average list price in 2019 ($333,290) rising 4.6% over 2018’s average list price. The original list price to sales price measure for the year was 96.7%. The average sales price in 2019 rose 5.9 % compared to 2018 to $303,722, while the median sales price, a better measure of prices over time, rose 7.1% to $255,000.

/

 

Inventory steadily decreasing

“Despite the slower activity during the first half of 2019, it’s truly turned out to be a record-breaking year of sales,” said 2020 Association/Canopy MLS president John Kindbom. “With sales in 2019 up nearly six percent over 2018, and with the phenomenal activity we saw during the month of December, it looks like the spring market has started early.” John Kindbom 2020 MLS President.

The new listing activity has been challenged for some time now, with offers being placed almost as soon as a listing is published. Listing activity for all of 2019 was essentially unchanged compared to 2018, rising 1.7% with 61,069 total new listings at year’s end. This will continue to impact inventory, which declined 23.9% in December and left the Charlotte region with 7,416 properties for sale at report time, or 1.7 months of supply. A year ago, in December 2018 the region had 9,747 properties for sale, or 2.4 months of supply.

Days on the market: holding steady

For all of 2019, the average number of days a property was on the market from the time it was listed until it closed (list to close) was 93 days, which is unchanged compared to December 2018. Days on Market, the metric that accrues for “Active” and “Under Contract-Show” statuses, averaged 43 days in 2019.

This excerpt was from Canopy Realtor® Association, which is a trade association that provides its more than 12,200 Realtor® members with the resources and services they need to conduct ethical, professional, successful and profitable businesses. The Association is dedicated to being the region’s primary resource for residential real estate information. The Association operates Canopy MLS, which has more than 17,800 subscribers and is the private cooperative Realtors® use for access to tens of thousands of residential listings in a 24-county service area, including Charlotte, the mountains area of North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond.

Realtor Danielle Edwards: Thoughts on the market

This time last year was really slow for many Charlotte Realtors. This year proves to be different as just one week into the new year, I have one listing and 3 pending buyer transactions.  I would say 2020 is off to a great start.  Interest rates are at a great place for buyers and many sellers are taking advantage of that to sell and relocate.  In the Charlotte real estate market we see a lot of homeowners downsizing into senior living, townhomes, or opting to move to the mountains or beach.

Buying vs. Selling in Charlotte

A realtor most often wears two hats, listing agent and buyers agent. Here is a link to the working agents brochure if you want to familiarize yourself with how that works.

Why do I need a buyers agent?

Excellent question! Did you know that buyers’ agency wasn’t created until the 1980s? Prior to that, all agents represented the seller.  I can’t imagine!  Here are a few quick reasons you need a buyers agent:

  1. They are experts in the home buying process and guide you through each step
  2. Good agents can point out the negatives or any potential red flags in a home for resale
  3. They are highly knowledgeable on what’s legal and what’s not
  4. They negotiate repairs by leveraging their contacts when needed to provide “expert advice” on certain issues
  5. A good agent has your back while you’re busy. They’ll be hard at work problem solving and getting all documents lined up for you when your day-to-day life needs your attention
  6. They have YEARS and hundreds of hours of training behind them to handle the craziness of unexpected scenarios you have no idea exist.
  7. They are paid by the seller. Yep, buyers agents are at NO cost to you!

Why do I need a listing agent?

With a slew of online firms entering a market, it stands to reason that a seller will want to check out their options when it comes to listing their home. I think it comes down to one word. Service.  Do you want a one-size-fits-all approach to selling your home? Or do you want to try to sell your home for top dollar and leverage your property?  It amazes me how often small upgrades can truly change the appeal of a home. Do you want to do all the work? Or do you want someone to do it for you? It’s as simple as that.

There are so many factors to consider.  If you are considering interviewing Realtors, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss the role of a Realtor and what sets me apart.  Visit Soldondanielle.com for video testimonials from my clients.

About the area

Be in the right place at the right time!

The trendy “live, work, play” lifestyle popular to Southend and Uptown is overflowing into the Southpark area. This neighborhood is no longer just Charlotte’s nicest business hub, it’s now exploding with capital improvement projects and is bursting at the seams with new restaurants, shops, parks, and fitness studios. You won’t find strip malls and parking lots in this neighborhood. Instead you’ll find lush greenery, mature trees, carefully maintained landscaping and beautifully designed buildings with parking decks hidden underneath.

If you love the outdoors and being close to shopping and restaurants this location puts you at the epicenter of it all! Walk North up Park Road to the new Cross Charlotte Trail which will connect all the greenways in Charlotte all the way to midtown.  Take a walk south on Park Road and have access to beautiful Park Road Park.  The new loop at Southpark mall is in the works and that will mimic the highline in NYC!  www.loopclt.org.

You’ll be less than 5 minutes from Whole Foods, Earth Fare, a local farmers market, and Charlotte’s largest, flagship Harris Teeter. Like to shop? You couldn’t be in a better location with HomeGoods, Southpark Mall, Philips Place, and the Specialty Shops within about a mile radius. There’s not just one but two YMCA’s close by, and dozens of boutique gyms to choose from including Pure Barre, The Bar Method, 9Round, Vibe5 yoga, and Burn Boot Camp.  Trendy local restaurants are opening weekly in this area. Keep your eyes peeled for Charlotte’s hottest new rooftop bar opening soon above Restoration Hardware. The Montford Park area is a nice walk or quick Uber up the street, and Park road will conveniently take you straight to Southend/Dilworth and the Pineville area.
