Quiet, hilly living on Charlotte’s east side

Becton Park stays pretty quiet while still keeping folks connected to the busier Charlotte communities. Albemarle Road cuts through the area and leads to Uptown in around 30 minutes, so commutes and nights out stay manageable. Wetlands and pockets of wooded land nearby give the neighborhood a bit of a tucked-away feel, which many residents say makes it a good spot for families who want some breathing room without moving too far from the city.

Locals in Becton Park can get to Uptown Charlotte by traveling on Albemarle Road.

Great diverse neighborhood living here 20 years no problems. Criminal activity is most times about who one associates with and who you bring into your home and neighborhood!
