University Area Charlotte, NC.
A popular place among families moving to the area is known as the University area. It gets it's name from being home to University of North Carolina Charlotte. It is conviently located in the north east section of Charlotte. This area is known for it's excellent academic standards, UNCC has very strict entrance requirements and is one of a handful of state colleges that offers progrmas up to a Doctorate program. The school has been recognized as a top academic university by major publications for years. Thus, this does not make it your typical college town.
The uniersity area offers a lot for a wide array of interests. It is located within a fifteen minute ride of Lowe's motor speedway. In addition there is the concord mills mall (the number one attraction center in North Carolina) only about fifteen minutes away. UNCC offers a wide array of arts for all tastes from broadway type production plays, art galleries, to divison one sports on campus.
It's close proximity to uptown and easy access make it a popular destination as well. With interstate 85 running through the area and 485 loop being completed in the area the University area makes getting around Charlotte and the surrounding areas convient. As well as having a major throroughway that leads you straigh into uptown Charlotte. Doing the ride the other day durng lunch hour took me 20 minutes to get to the center of uptown (very reasonable considering the time of day).
Schools in the University area are part of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. You can visit www.cms.k12.nc.us to find out which school is located in your area. Because of the growth of the area the University area is home to a few different schools depending on where you live.
With the area growing as much as it has in the past few years; the city has grown with the growth to the area. Bike trails along the roads are very common in that area and it is considered a walkable friendly area of Charlotte.
Homes in this area tend to be of single family 3+ bedrooms. The closer you are to the UNCC campus you will find more condos and townhomes. But as you venutre outside the immediate area of the Unviersity you will find the neighborhoods to be surburban middle class areas. Homes and condo prices in this area range from the $50,000 range all the way up to $675,000.
University area has a lot to offer ranging from affordable housing to a variety of activities within a short commute and easy access to uptown. With all the offerings the area has it is easy to see why the area is fast becoming a popular destiantion among families and young professionals...
