StreetAdvisor: Reviews for Charlotte, Mecklenburg, North Carolina, United States

Beautiful and convenient place to live.

25/10/2008 13:23:34 -07:00

This is a beautiful street, that is just perfect to live on for anyone who wants that old colonial feel. The trees are thick, and the houses are elegant. Plus it's walking distance through a small patch of wilderness and friendly neighbor's back yards to the Arboretum Shopping Center. The food is...

A fine place to live for the materialistic.

25/10/2008 13:18:19 -07:00

This little driveway is a small street snaking between two circular Cul-de-sacs, which make it look very strange on google earth. However, it is within walking distance, and even more importantly, within short driving distance of the Carmel Commons Mall, which satisfied all of my material needs on...

Golf enthusiast's dream.

25/10/2008 13:09:49 -07:00

This tiny little road is sandwiched in between comstock and seaman drive, and is a pretty place to live with people who say "hello" to you on your way to work. It is pretty far separated from everything, but it is right next to the Revolution Park Golf course, which makes it more than worth my time...

Good place for a family.

25/10/2008 13:03:58 -07:00

Sutton drive is almost litterally a hop skip and a jump away from the West Charlotte High School. In other words, it's across English drive, which for Andre the Giant would be just a hop skip and a jump. It has proximity to grocery stores and gas stations aplenty, and a wonderfully kind environmen...

Good escape from everything important in life.

25/10/2008 12:53:08 -07:00

This street is a small wooded road that is separated from all of the good things of modern society by a couple of meters that should be connected by a road, but aren't. If there was a road going further north, I would be able to get to a bunch more restaurants and life in general would be more open...

An ok place for a stoic.

25/10/2008 12:41:44 -07:00

South Ramsey Street is a short little street shaded by pines and a drive away from anywhere. The people are alright, but not exceptional, and the food consists of a small condensation of fast foods a short drive away on North Hoskins Road. Other than that there's a nice local mexican place five bl...

Wouldn't live here if I had a choice.

25/10/2008 12:32:43 -07:00

Justice Avenue is part of a trashy suburb, even if the houses are made out of brick. You're separated from everything and everyone, except for a small grocery store, which I like because all the clerks there are very sweet. The people are all mindless drones, go to work, come home, go to sleep. T...

A great place to live.

25/10/2008 12:25:05 -07:00

West 8th street in Charlotte, North Carolina is a quiet short neighborly drive with an artistic bio-sculpture decorating the small circular cul-de-sac at the south end of the street. The people in this area have always been kind, and in addition to the pretty houses that have been erected, that thr...

Check out Spirit Square

24/10/2008 14:42:24 -07:00

The one tourist attraction I visited while in Charlotte was the Spirit Square. It is on the intersection of College St and 7th St right near the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. I visited a few times to check out a few art galleries and attended the symphony on my last night in Charlotte. It was a...

Right in the middle of town

24/10/2008 14:30:21 -07:00

E Trade St is home to a lot of good eats and a lot of people in their 20s and 30s hang out around here. It's pretty packed on the weekends and people are always bar hopping in this area. Check out Howl at the Moon while here. I stayed with my friends while in Charlotte and they said it was their fav...

Spent the day walking around and drinking at Dixie's Tavern

24/10/2008 14:27:19 -07:00

I spent a whole day on 7th street just walking around and stopped by Dixie's Tavern to get a drink. I had ask a few locals for a great bar and they said Dixie's had good deals. They were right! Dixie's is right near the train tracks so I thought it was going to be a little ghetto, but I had a great...

Busy City Street in Charlotte

24/10/2008 14:17:47 -07:00

I spent a lot of time on W 5th St while visiting in Charlotte. I would always exit onto it when I got off the 77 freeway and would drive it all the way down to N Poplar to get to the library. I would always pass a little cemetery there and parked to take a visit. W 5th also goes near the Johnson Smi...

Great place of soul food in uptown Charlotte

24/10/2008 14:07:52 -07:00

I had some soul food on N Graham street with a few friends. We ate at Simmons Soul Food and just drove around the area after we ate. The road is very quiet and pretty the closer it is to town, but it winds up and gets sort of creepy since it's right around the corner from a huge cemetery.

Amazing architecture in a busy area.

24/10/2008 13:59:57 -07:00

I love the buildings on this road. There are beautiful brick buildings you would only find on the east coast. I was strolling down N Poplar when I got lost. I stopped by a park on this street and just took a few pictures. I later found out that I was at Fourth Ward Park and I highly recommend stoppi...

Fun for the whole day!

24/10/2008 13:34:28 -07:00

Anyone who visits Charlotte needs to stop by N Tryon St. It's such a beautiful street and has really great restaurant's to take a date. I always went to the Charlotte public library on this street and would wander around after reading a good book. You can just park in one of the public lots and just...

Mall Madness Shopping Area

24/10/2008 13:22:03 -07:00

Fairview Rd is a fairly busy street for Charlotte. Just beware of the crazy mall traffic near the South Park Mall. It can get really busy, but I love the stores in this mall. You can shop at Tiffany's and Nordstrom here! There are some really good places to eat around here too.

Main road that will take you everywhere.

24/10/2008 13:13:40 -07:00

Sharon Rd is one of Charlotte's major roads that connects you to where you need to go. I spent a lot of time driving on this road to get to the South Park Mall near my friend's house. It also connected me to the Myer's Country club. I guess it's almost like a highway. Great for shopping and getting...

Quiet street with lovely homes.

24/10/2008 13:06:52 -07:00

I visited a friend and stayed at her house on this street. The houses are very pretty and the street is just full of large trees. This is a very quiet street and all of the yards are neatly manicured. There are no sidewalks down this road and it is an upper middle class suburban area.

Lots of foot traffic

23/10/2008 13:43:07 -07:00

John Kirk Dr (formerly E. Mallard Creek) is a connector for the off campus housing of UNCC. There are several apartment complexes as well as the recently added Greek Village of on campus fraternity/sorority houses. This road was recently diverted to be more inviting to the campus life and safer for...

Accessability to everything

23/10/2008 13:37:11 -07:00

JM Keynes has everything that you could possibly look for, housing (lakefront apartments/condos), good shopping (Old Navy, Talbots to name a few), good local restaurants and nightlife. The road wraps around the Shoppes at university Place which includes several banks, retail stores, restaurants and...

"Very poor HOA"

23/10/2008 08:50:57 -07:00

This neighborhood has great potential but a very poor HOA and ammenities for a community of this size. There is a lack of venues to direct the older kids such as a basketball court, tennis court, etc. The pool is able to accomodate all of the residents if they decided to go at once or even half. The...

"Extremely congested area"

23/10/2008 08:42:44 -07:00

This is an extremely busy and crowded street. There are numerous business entities on this throughofare that make commuting aggravating at best. Apartments located on this stretch are considered very high in turnover

"Extremely congested area"

23/10/2008 08:42:41 -07:00

The road to nowhere..

23/10/2008 04:23:46 -07:00

Technology Dr is one of several "entrances" into the University Research Park area of Charlotte,NC. There is a nice apartment complex with loft style apartments located above some smaller retail and restaurant vendors. It is very convenient to the local Wachovia "complex" as well as headquarters to...

Busier than you might think...

23/10/2008 04:16:44 -07:00

Harris Houston Rd at 1st glance is a quiet 2 lane rd that has several older, estblished neighborhoods that flank either side as well as several houses that are directly on Harris Houston. Unfortunately it is also a connector or cut through between 2 more heavily populated roads and the local concert...

Good stuff in the midst of Ghetto

21/10/2008 23:22:42 -07:00

Central Ave, unfortunately, can't get away from the ghetto parts. It's trying real hard to move up in the world but not quite making it. Nevertheless, taking a drive down Central can be very rewarding. Who doesn't love Lulu's, that amazing French Bistro (the weekend brunch is fantastic if you can...

Cute Shops, Good Food

21/10/2008 23:05:03 -07:00

While the initial blocks of Camden as you drive out of uptown look like there is nothing of interest ahead, a quick zip over the hill reveals a cluster of great shops and good food. The Bee Man Candle has really good stuff, as does American Apparel. However, the real good stuff is at the end of th...

How not to love it?

21/10/2008 22:41:11 -07:00

East Boulevard is one of the few streets in Charlotte that has it all. Food, shopping, entertainment AND parking? Okay, so the on-street parking is not perfect, but that is what the lot at the Harris Teeter is for--parking in while you shop! Starting with Thai Taste and going all the way down to...

Hello Retail Therapy!

21/10/2008 22:21:29 -07:00

Sharon Pkwy is a great little short street connecting residential and shopping areas in South Charlotte. It can be a much faster way to get from the Morrison shops to the Mall than taking Sharon or Colony, although you do have to watch out for the occasional Vespa rider. Also watch the light as if...

Great for Shopping

21/10/2008 21:59:52 -07:00

Lloyd Church Road in South Charlotte is part of the Morrison complex just across from the South Park Mall. Home to the new Swoozie's, Arooji's, and several classy clothing boutiques, exploring Lloyd Church is a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. New stores, including a big box book store, are op...

Home of the best Grocery Store in Charlotte!

21/10/2008 21:49:59 -07:00

Governor Morrison is a short street in South Charlotte that is home to one of the best grocery stores in Charlotte. No, NOT TRADER JOES! It's Earthfare, a local version of Whole Foods. The wine and cheese section is amazing, and the staff at the cheese deli are really helpful and knowledgeable....

Good for walking your dog

21/10/2008 21:37:28 -07:00

Settlers Lane is a short, curved street in the 4th Ward with a minature dog park just before the intersection with 9th St. The shady environment and limited number of cars zooming through make it a great place to walk your dog. The people in the neighborhood are really friendly too. It's best to...

Stay South on North Graham

21/10/2008 21:26:42 -07:00

North Graham is an interesting stretch of road. Beginning in Uptown Charlotte, you have some pretty nice homes and businesses, including the swanky soon-to-be completed Garrison at Graham. But cross the 277 line and suddenly you are in sketchy territory. Sure, you can pull off on Atando for some...

Full of hidden Gems

21/10/2008 21:07:26 -07:00

9th St in the 4th Ward Uptown is an adorable little short street. It dead-ends with some of the finest examples of vintage Victorian in all of uptown--the Christmas tour in this area is amazing! Equally amazing is the quality of the food at Alexander Michaels, better known as Al Mike's to the loca...

Great for a fun night out

21/10/2008 20:53:25 -07:00

Arysley Town Boulevard is one of the cutest places to spend an evening in Charlotte. Start with dinner at the amazing Saffron (best Indian food in the city, if not the state) and then wander up the street to the theatre. The Charleston style homes look great after dark, and it's only a short walk...

What a wonderful area!

18/10/2008 12:15:22 -07:00

This road, and the roads nearby, are just wonderful! They're secluded and out of the way,but have plenty of business nearby, from WalMart to KFC. It is very convenient to I-77, and also to Harris and I-85.

The homes in this area are wonderful for families, singles, or anyone who is looking for a...

Good for the artsy type

18/10/2008 11:37:51 -07:00

This little street is pretty cute! It's a friendly place, located near the Arts District of Charlotte, and you'll definitely find that vibe reflected in the people around you. The neighbors are constantly out and about, and that extends to the neighbors on surrounding streets.

A drawback is the l...

Soccer moms, unite!

18/10/2008 11:29:11 -07:00

This review is intended to help with residency, as opposed to golf or other activities.

The Highland Creek subdivision is highly overrated. The homes are relatively small for the price, and the lots are too small to do anything with. You're a stone's throw away from your neighbor (and the other n...

Just another run of the mill neighborhood

18/10/2008 11:11:17 -07:00

This is a great neighborhood for middle income families, particularly with children. The homes are mainly modular, and all have similar floorplans. The neighborhood itself is very friendly, but the yards are small and there's not a lot of room for kids to play.

Homes are well kept, street is rela...

This is a hidden gem!

18/10/2008 10:29:35 -07:00

I normally wouldn't recommend a place right near the airport. But this little neighborhood is wonderful! The houses are well kept, the families are diverse in age, and the area is unbelievable quiet despite the nearby airport!

The site is convenient to, of course, the airport, to downtown, and to...

Don't do it if you can help it!

18/10/2008 10:22:11 -07:00

I'm just going to be honest- this is a low income, high crime neighborhood. The area surround Shamrock and Eastway in this corner is very dangerous for families and singles, particularly women. There are high crime rates, frequent shootings (apparently some are gang related), and is not recommended...

Not the best place to live or visit.

18/10/2008 08:06:59 -07:00

While the neighborhoods behind this area are "okay"... I wouldn't live here.

In Charlotte, the streets generally divide one "area" from another. This side of Harris, between here and Plaza/Milton, is pretty much a low income, not well taken care of area. The people are noisy, the homeowners don'...

Randolph Road is a great little day trip when visiting Charlotte, NC. Take Fourth Street southeast towards the Presbyterian Hospital. Once you are past there you will be on Randolph Road. Follow this wide city street and signs along the way directing you to the Potters Market. This was my favori...

Great place to college students or young singles!

18/10/2008 07:13:51 -07:00

The neighborhood is an apartment complex. It is clean, well kept, the apartments are bright and very attractive, and amenities are wonderful.

Reedy Creek park is right down the road, offering picnic shelters, sports fields, and an excellent disc golf course, and the hospital is a mile away in th...

Things sure have changed in NoDa!

18/10/2008 07:08:44 -07:00

I moved to the area about 4 years ago, and North Davidson Street and the surrounding area (NoDa) was a mecca of diversity, entertainment, and food.

It seems, however, that it's not being taken care of. The neighborhoods are run down, the people are like vagabonds, and the entertainment still exi...

Great place for young families or retired couples!

18/10/2008 06:40:03 -07:00

This street is in a small neighborhood called Hampton Park. I've rented a house here for 3 years, and have only considered moving when my husband's employment threatens to change. There's a great mix of people in the neighborhood of all ethnicities, and kids and adults of all ages.

We're only a f...

Getting Around in Uptown

16/10/2008 12:53:19 -07:00

When you are visiting Charlotte, NC an easy access road to the uptown area where many of the museums and attractions are is Fourth Street. You can get off the Interstate 277 and travel either direction, but as you travel West the street becomes a one way street traveling West. Driving West, and yo...

Quick Connect Neighborhoods and 485 By-pass.

15/10/2008 12:50:33 -07:00

Ballantyne Commons Parkway is a gentle drive that curves to connect the southern section of Charlotte and its many communities, stores and golf courses with the I-485 bypass. It follows the bypass, allowing the traveler to get on and off the interstate in convenient locations. Ballantyne Commons P...

Like SoHo? NoDa!

14/10/2008 21:58:46 -07:00

North Davidson Street runs past old textile buildings in an area of North Charlotte that has undergone a major revitalization. Like streets in similar neighborhoods of major historical cities across the nation, this street has gone from a major industrial hub to a seedy rundown slum, to an upscale...

Take a Free Tour of Billy's Library on YOur Way to the Airport

14/10/2008 20:51:49 -07:00

The Billy Graham Parkway is a beautiful tree-lined, multi-lane road that runs between Interstates 85 and 77. It is easy to travel on except during rush hour. You may also wan to avoid it on the day before and after NASCAR racing days, as it connects to the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport....

A Little Bit of Everything

14/10/2008 20:09:43 -07:00

South Blvd has a little bit of everything. Local and national restaurants, residential areas, shopping, bars, and local businesses. South Blvd is a cross street to many major Charlotte streets. It is close to Tyvola, where many financial businesses are located. This street gets VERY busy, especi...

Shopping Between Rounds of Golf

14/10/2008 20:09:17 -07:00

Christenbury Parkway is great for fun seekers. To the west of I-85 you will find that it winds gently past one of North Carolina’s best shopping malls, Concord Mills. This is not just another shopping center. It is brightly decorated and includes lots of places to grab a bite to eat or spend the...

I Love the Nightlife

14/10/2008 20:06:40 -07:00

Caldwell Street is home to some of Charlotte's downtown nightlife, and close to the Carolina Panthers stadium and Bobcats Arena. Obviously, this street gets busy around game time, and on Friday and Saturday nights. Caldwell also boasts some of the best downtown restaurants. Yummy food and tons to...

Shopper's Paradise in Charlotte

14/10/2008 20:01:56 -07:00

Fairview Road is a shopper's paradise. Southpark Mall, the upscale shopping facility, is located on this road. There are also fabulous restaurants such as Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Traffic gets very hectic during the morning and evening commutes and lunch time. This...

Science to Speedway - the Fun Way to Spend a Day!

14/10/2008 20:00:26 -07:00

North Tryon Street begins right in the middle of the tourist area of Charlotte and runs all the way to the Lowes Speedway, although it does change names out that way. The uptown area of the street is where you will want to get out of the car and walk around. There is parking on the street and in p...

This Is Where The Action Is

14/10/2008 19:55:02 -07:00

Tryon Street is THE street if you are looking for something to do. The street goes straight through downtown and all the way to the university area. Downtown Tryon offers more of the "club" scene where as Tryon closer to the University area has more low key bars, restaurants, and shopping. I woul...

Quite friendly cul-de-sac in a beautiful part of town.

02/05/2008 05:37:17 -07:00

I have never lived on a street with such a sense of community. Not only are the people on the street neighbors, they are friends. It is a great mix of young families and retired grandparents.

Okay for school... but don't live here.

28/04/2008 22:15:35 -07:00

I think anyone that has travelled through this area understands that the area has really went down. Even though Mecklenburg County tries to keep this area decent with new retail outlets, etc., it still manages to have some of the highest crime rates in Charlotte.

I've been a student at UNCC for...

Nice street with community life.

22/04/2008 21:27:31 -07:00

I lived on this street for about 10 years. The community within this short block is home. With some of the negibors living there for more than 30 years, you will always feel that southern hospitality.

During the past several winters Keeling place has been nicknamed McKeelingville. THis is an...

VERY VERY BORING

05/02/2008 12:39:04 -08:00

Our street is boring! No one will even talk to you except me and my one neighbor! We have tried!!

Great Neighborhood for retirees

02/02/2008 09:46:01 -08:00

Very friendly and quite. It is very convenient for shopping or eating out. Safe and secure. Folks watch out for one another.

Starmount still the best value close to town

21/01/2008 07:10:57 -08:00

My street is in the Starmount neighborhood in South Charlotte. We moved here two years ago because it was one of the only safe places we could afford near the city. Now it's really the only affordable place, but that's changing quickly. One of the coolest new things is the light rail stop, just a...

Fairview is nice, just watch out for the 'mall goers'!

31/07/2007 11:56:19 -07:00

South Park Mall is a womans dream come true. Upscale retail stores along with great housing makes Fairview in Charlotte a great place to raise a family. Close to work, close to uptown Charlotte, and more.

Uptown Charlotte on Tryon

31/07/2007 10:45:09 -07:00

The place to be in Charlotte, NC. This is the main street that runs through downtown, or uptown if you live here, and host a string of parties all the time. Plenty of places to eat, drink, and be merry.

Excellent place to raise a family.

20/04/2007 07:00:12 -07:00

Great street in a brand new development. Very friendly atmosphere perfect for families and couples.
