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

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!

Wire fraud in real estate

by

Wire Fraud in Real Estate

What to know when buying a home

Imagine spending months trying to buy a home, and finally purchasing the perfect one only to find out at the closing table your funds never made it, they are gone– that they vanished due to wire fraud. Imagine selling your home only to find out a wire fraud hacker created a fictitious email and contacted the attorney to redirect your proceeds to their account instead of yours?  It happens, a lot.

Wire Fraud: What is it?

Wire fraud is when someone obtains money based on false representation or promises. As con-artists become more sophisticated and tech-savvy, parties involved in real estate closings are regularly being targeted with wire fraud scams. These parties include buyers, sellers, realtors, and closing attorneys.

How is it done?

Most recently, the scams have focused on hacking into e-mail accounts of the parties involved in the transaction. Con-artists can gain unauthorized access to third-party e-mail accounts when just one party involved in the transaction fails to utilize e-mail encryption software. The frauds break into either the Realtor’s or the client’s email and secretly follow what is going on.

Assume that the buyer, buyer’s Realtor, seller’s Realtor, buyer’s attorney, and the seller’s attorney are all involved in an e-mail chain concerning the particulars of the closing. These emails would likely include sensitive information, such as wiring information, closing figures depicted on the settlement statement, and names/contact information. Now assume that just one of the parties involved in this e-mail chain failed to use encryption software. With the assistance of readily available computer software, a con-artist can easily intercept the entire chain of emails from any individual who replies to or forwards an email without using encryption software. Now, the criminals have everything they need to engage in wire fraud.

How do I avoid it?

Criminals are posing as attorneys with a similar email address to send fake wire instructions to clients. Therefore, the safest practice is to go to the closing attorney’s office in person and pick up your wire instructions. Sometimes, the fraud will pose as the attorney and contact the sellers to ask where they’d like their proceeds sent, and intercept them.  In both cases, the money is wired to a bank account that belongs to the fraud. At this point, the funds are usually beyond reach of the correct banks or the FBI, well before the scam is even discovered.

Sellers should always bring a voided check to closing.  Sellers should also verify when the wire is being sent and if it was received.

If you are involved in a real estate purchase, you should take steps to ensure that you don’t become a victim of wire fraud by verifying that you and the professionals representing you are using encrypted email software.  If you receive anything fishy or out of sorts do not email back.  Call the correct number your Realtor should have, or that is on letterhead to verify.

What if it happens to me?

Many individuals and law firms have fallen victim to these scams, which have resulted in the victims going bankrupt and law firms and real estate companies going out of business. If you are an attorney, Realtor or other professional involved in the real estate closing, and one of these scams succeeds due to your failure to utilize encrypted email, you can expect for the victim to look to you for reimbursement.

What does wire fraud look like?

These scammers are getting very good at scamming to gather your information with texts, phone calls and emails.  Remember, rarely will a company call and ask for your social or credit card over the phone.  You are better off hanging up and calling back the main number that is correct. Be wary of Google.  They might take a phone number for GODADDY and change one digit in their phone number.  So, the person who quickly glances to ensure it is correct will be mistaken.

What does fraud look  like?  It comes in many different forms. Have you received one of these texts or emails?

Stay safe out there! If you ever have any questions or concerns involving the real estate process, contact me! I am always here to help.
