Rapid expansion in northwest Charlotte
Sturdy fences and sprawling grassy landscapes drift by along Oakdale's slow, meandering streets. This secluded west Charlotte suburb harnesses peaceful scenes of its farmland past, but just off the main roads are tidy subdivisions full of newly constructed homes. “There’s lots of new development. It’s definitely growing,” says Rachel Regalado, a Realtor with Red Cedar Realty. As Charlotte’s population continues to boom, this neighborhood is getting noticed for its location, which puts it roughly 15 minutes away from the city center. “To actually do stuff, you’re going to Uptown. But Oakdale is where you do your living,” Regalado says, noting that everyday needs like grocery stores are a short drive from most homes. Popular outdoor destinations like Mountain Island Lake are also within reach, offering residents a much-needed reprieve from Charlotte’s bustling urban center and sprawling suburbs.
Farm land is also still around in areas of Oakdale.

New construction subdivisions beyond winding roads
Subdivisions are connected by winding two-lane roads, where sun-dappled canopies stretch over the road and brick homes sit behind gravel driveways. Though the landscape here at first gives the impression of a rural lifestyle, dense suburban enclaves reveal themselves off the main thoroughfares. Rows of brick-and-vinyl New Traditional homes sit elbow-to-elbow behind sidewalks and small, grassy lawns. In older areas, ranch-style houses stretch out on spacious, one-third-acre lots with densely wooded backyards. "Nowadays, with new construction, you're not getting this much acreage," notes Realtor Jill Dambrosio with EXP Realty. While these established homes can sell for as low as $250,000, continuing development in the area means that move-in ready new construction homes can be priced over $400,000 for 2,000 square feet of living space and Craftsman-inspired stylings. A handful of newly built three-bedroom townhouses can sell closer to the area median of $340,000.

A place for athletes and nature lovers alike
On sunny afternoons, residents can pack a lunch and head to Shuffletown Park for a picnic. The park’s raceway-themed playground makes it popular with kids, while the fenced-in, off-leash dog park is equally attractive for pet owners. Families gather around the soccer field on weekends to cheer on their little ones, as the Western United Soccer Club Revolution competitive youth leagues play their home games at the park. The park has plenty of other sporting facilities, while the nearby Sunset Hills Golf Course gives local golfers a place to hone their swing with multiple courses and a driving range. The neighborhood is also roughly 5 miles from Mountain Island Lake, where waterfront nature preserves provide a place to hike, kayak or fish.

Career readiness programs at Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools
Children here can attend Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, with students in prekindergarten through the eighth grade all housed under the same roof at Mountain Lake Academy. The school, which scores a C-plus from Niche, feeds into West Mecklenburg High. Awarded a C from Niche, the high school boasts nine career technical education pathways that cover a range of fields, from software development to culinary arts to carpentry. It’s also a Cambridge International School, meaning students can take advanced courses and even get ahead with college credit. The district also has a number of charter and magnet schools, including the nearby Coulwood STEM Academy.

Convenient shopping and local restaurants
Brookshire Boulevard is the neighborhood's primary connecting corridor and lodges a few quirky, off-the-radar local haunts. South 21 Family Restaurant is the neighborhood go-to for breakfast and brunch. This local time capsule serves American comfort food from its red-roofed barn outpost, where residents are almost guaranteed to see a familiar face each time they visit. Next door is Seven Jars Winery and Distillery, a tasting room that pours spirits created from family recipes that date back to the prohibition. When locals want to watch the game over a cold pint and classic bar eats, they head to Sports Page Food and Spirits. This family-owned neighborhood staple is beloved for its live performances on Saturday nights and its walls lined with neon signage and UNC Tar Heels memorabilia. For everyday needs, residents head north to the dining and retail on Mount Holly-Huntersville Road, where Harris Teeter and Walmart Supercenter are found amid various fast-food stops, banks and gas stations.
