Charlotte NC Luxury Homes Have Suddenly Become Affordable
Perhaps Queen Charlotte, for whom our city is named, the German wife of England's King George III, would have been so very proud of the little village in the Piedmont North Carolina area that took her name in 1768. In North Carolina's largest city, where downtown is now called Uptown, our former label, "New South," seems far out of date. Through tenacity, ambition and against all geographic logic, Charlotte has become America's second largest banking center (second only to New York City). Where else can you find such diversity? Charlotte continues to be an invitingly attractive place to live where a distinctive local culture so comfortably combines NASCAR and southern barbecue with worldly art and haute cuisine.

Moving outward from the Uptown area, Dilworth, Myers Park, Eastover, Elizabeth and Foxcroft are the city's luxury communities with close proximity to everything Charlotte. It is however, quite possible to have a luxury community placed directly opposite a less expensive development or home on the same block or even right next door. There are some streets and addresses which are synonymous with Charlotte luxury homes. Queens Road comes to mind as an example of the icon of luxury real estate in Charlotte NC.
