An urban neighborhood where condos are connected to buzzy locales
Just across the highway from Uptown Charlotte, what was once the city’s industrial center is now a vibrant cultural and culinary hub. “South End is where all the buzz is now. It’s like an extension of Uptown, except people don’t really live in Uptown — they’re gravitating toward South End,” says John Siddons, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Carolinas Realty. From restaurants and breweries to art galleries and boutiques, residents can explore urban attractions within walking distance of modern condo complexes. “It’s right on the Rail Trail,” Siddons adds, referring to Charlotte’s popular urban trail that runs along the light rail tracks, “You can’t go more than a few seconds without seeing someone jogging or roller skating or walking their dog.”

Condos and townhouses in a renter-dominated market
Densely urban and with a mix of industrial, commercial and residential space, multi-family housing reigns supreme in South End. The majority of residents here rent, as more and more old warehouses and industrial buildings are being replaced with modern apartment, condo and townhouse complexes. A single-bedroom condo can sell for $445,000, though prices can climb to nearly $1 million for a three-bedroom condo with floor-to-ceiling windows. Some buildings come with luxury amenities like rooftop pools and concierge service, but no matter where homebuyers decide to buy, South End’s location is its biggest benefit.

The Rail Trail connects people to places
South End sits along the Charlotte Rail Trail, a three-and-a-half-mile walkway that spans Sedgefield into Uptown Charlotte. More than just a place to go for a stroll, the Rail Trail is a pedestrian-oriented artery that connects people to restaurants, bars, cafes, boutiques and more in the heart of Charlotte. From South End, residents can hop on the trail to explore new restaurants, head down to shop at Atherton Mills or keep going north into Uptown, all while discovering new hangout spots amid ever-changing public art installations and gardens. Just off the Rail Trail is Wilmore Centennial Park, the neighborhood’s nearest green space. This small public park is best known as a community gathering space, particularly for summertime movies in the park.
Walking throughout South End is the way locals get around without the hustle and bustle of cars.

A culinary mecca for the Queen City
Known for its dining and bar scene, South End is a hotspot for nights out on the town. Some of Charlotte’s best breweries can be found within a mile radius, including Wooden Robot, Hopfly Brewing and Resident Culture, making this the place to be for craft beer enthusiasts. To try a variety of pours, residents can hang out on Charlotte Beer Garden’s patio to sample more than 50 draft pints. Those who prefer beverages of a different variety are still in luck, whether that means wine from Sixty Vines, craft cocktails from Stir or late-night drinks with a side of bowling and arcade games at Slingshot Social Club. When it comes to breakfast, lunch or dinner, South End boasts cuisines to satisfy every palette, with some of the buzziest restaurants in the city. Locals can wake up with a hearty Southern breakfast platter from Ruby Sunshine, catch the game at Tavern on the Tracks — Charlotte’s only Buffalo Bills Backer Bar — or try a creative menu of Latin American fusion dishes at Muraya.

Walkable streets make for a pedestrian paradise
A true urban oasis, South End is walkable and bikeable thanks to dedicated bike lanes and pedestrian paths like the Rail Trail. It’s also right along the Lynx Blue Line light rail, with Charlotte Area Transit bus stops throughout the neighborhood. “If you work in Uptown or you just want somewhere walkable, South End is one of the few places where you can truly get that,” Siddon says. “It’s more accessible and has better parking.” Those who choose to travel by car are about five minutes from Uptown and right along the I-277 and I-77 interchange.
