Barclay Downs draws homebuyers with its quiet, verdant streets and access to retail and dining. This neighborhood is situated just north of SouthPark Mall, the largest luxury shopping centers in the Carolinas. Barclay Downs is conveniently located within easy walking distance of award-winning schools, a regional library, a swim and tennis club and lots of retail and restaurant options.
Many of the houses here were built in the 1960s and '70s, with ranch-style and contemporary homes and estates making up most of the mix, though some modern architecture and new construction can be found. Prices range from the mid $200,000s to about $3 million. Most homes have garages and lot sizes can go up to ½ acre, suitable for a garden or kids' play area. "People don't move out of Barclay Downs that often," says Becky McGrath, a Realtor with Cottingham Chalk, and she should know, having lived in the South Park neighborhood for 20 years after sampling other Charlotte locales. "It's a closer-knit neighborhood,"
Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools gives families a lot of flexibility with its school choice options, including application to magnet programs via a lottery with built-in continuations, sibling, SES and location priorities. Myers Park High School offers advanced placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and honors courses.
Park Road Park is a 2-mile drive on local streets and features four basketball courts, six baseball fields, three picnic shelters, volleyball courts, playgrounds, trails and an eleven-acre lake. Little Sugar Creek Greenway extends nearly 4 miles from Brandywine Road to 7th Street in Charlotte, connecting numerous attractions such as Freedom Park and Charlotte Nature Museum. The many segments of the greenway create a corridor for walking, biking and running. Barclay Downs Swim & Racquet Club has a swimming pool, six tennis courts and a pickleball court, but there's a waitlist for membership. The Charlotte Symphony entertains thousands of locals every summer at the Summer Pops concert series at Symphony Park. Patrons can buy tickets in advance or at the gate.
To the north in Myers Park, there's a small corridor of commerce featuring fashion retailers, a few salons and Bicycle Sport, a shop that sells and repairs every type of bike. Local restaurants include:
The Charlotte Symphony entertains thousands of locals every summer at the Summer Pops concert series at Symphony Park. Patrons can buy tickets in advance or at the gate.
A family-favorite event is Barclay Downs' annual Halloween parade. The costumed march finishes with a celebration at the organizer's home, which is decorated as a haunted house for the evening. That job has been passed down over the decades, with the current host performing that duty for more than a decade after taking over from the previous organizer's 12-year run. "It's just a chain of people keeping those traditions alive," McGrath says.
Most residents drive to work, but Charlotte's Area Transport (CAT) bus stations are also available. To get to Charlotte's Center City, residents can drive five miles via back roads. Charlotte Douglas International is a 10-mile drive via Billy Graham Parkway.
