New-traditional abodes and renovated Victorian homes
Homes in Charlotte are suitable for a range of different homebuyers. “We have variety. There are newer homes. We have a newer subdivision,” Redfield says. “There’s a lot of older Victorians. Older homes that people take care of.” On the city’s outskirts are cozy ranches and farmhouses with acres of land. The city itself holds newer constructions that are more traditional and craftsman-style. “Prices are a minimum of $150,000 up to $400,000. Newer construction would be more,” Redfield says. “Homes by the lake are more. Homes within the city and the older homes range from $170,000 to $250,000. The price range is broad.” These homes have three to five bedrooms and are usually above 1,500 square feet.

It’s centrally located to the bigger cities,” Redfield says. “It’s attractive to people that work because they don’t have to drive too far depending on where they work.” Capital Region International Airport is 25 miles north, offering domestic flights to Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, and Orlando.
