Oakhurst Homes for Rent

Oakhurst, a southeast Charlotte neighborhood, is experiencing revitalization with new developments and streetscape overhauls. Located just south of the Wendover and Independence intersection, Oakhurst features a mix of old ranch-style homes and modern single-family houses with unique designs. The neighborhood offers a variety of housing options, including newer townhouses and older bungalows, making it more affordable compared to nearby areas like Cotswold and Chantilly. Local businesses along Wendover and Monroe Roads include pharmacies, gyms, banks, and a notable number of salons, with popular spots like Night Swim Coffee, SWIRL Dessert Bar, and The Common Market. Grocery shopping options include Food Lion, Walmart, and Aldi, though they are not walkable for most residents. Future developments on Monroe Road will bring wider sidewalks, more pedestrian crosswalks, and a multi-use trail, with construction starting in 2025. The long-term LYNX Silver Line light rail expansion will add two stops in Oakhurst by the 2030s. The neighborhood is shaded by mature oaks, hickories, and maples, and features the small Oakhurst Park and a community garden. The Monroe Road Advocates (MoRA) group organizes community events and initiatives. The Oakhurst STEAM Academy, a partial magnet school, offers a focus on science, technology, engineering, art, and math for elementary students. Commuting to Uptown Charlotte, 5 miles away, takes 10 to 25 minutes, while the Charlotte Douglas International Airport is 13 miles away.
