The developing suburbs of East Charlotte
Just outside of city limits, Bradfield Farms is a growing East Charlotte suburb. The neighborhood's name, "Bradfield Farms," comes from its oldest subdivision, but many other communities have cropped up over the years. From senior living to new construction, neighbors can build community through strong homeowner's associations, community pools and local parks. "It's a great place to put down roots and get to know your neighbors," says Ashley Jamerson, a Realtor with Ashley Lambert Realty who specializes in this side of the city. Since all properties are outside Charlotte city limits, residents pay a lower property tax for unincorporated living in Mecklenburg County.
Modern homes are a "good investment"
The curving streets of Bradfield Farms are home to several unique subdivisions. Some were built in the 1990s and have streets shaded by mature trees. Others were built as recently as 2023 with cookie-cutter designs and state-of-the-art amenities. Prices typically range from $350,000 to $450,000 based on size. Several communities have mandatory homeowner's associations, and some have private pools for residents. "The prices out there are still more affordable, especially for first-time buyers, and Charlotte just continues to expand," says lifelong Charlotte resident Denise Cutri, a broker with Shearer Realty. "Areas that seemed rural just a few years ago are now major hubs, so in general, homes on the city's edges are a good investment."
Cresswind Charlotte, one of the city's largest 55-plus communities, is in Bradfield Farms. Private amenities include a pool, fitness center, pickleball courts and a grilling courtyard. Prices for the single-family homes range from $400,000 to $650,000. The community's monthly HOA fees are $299.

A growing retail strip along Albemarle Road
Albemarle Road is the largest retail hub in the neighborhood, offering chain restaurants and big-box stores like Target, Walmart, Food Lion and Home Depot. The locally owned Stooges Pub & Grub hosts popular Trivia Tuesdays and live music nights featuring local bands. And the Novant Health Mint Hill Medical Center puts an emergency room within minutes of most residents. The corridor is expected to continue to grow with upcoming projects. A development at the Cresswind and Albemarle intersection is projected to bring a Publix and the city's first Whataburger. The mixed-use development will include more retail space, childcare centers, and medical offices. Right across the street, a local developer began working on a 252-unit apartment building in 2024. As Albemarle Road develops, Bradfield Farms can expect a busier feel but easier access to shopping and dining.

A car-dependent neighborhood
Albemarle Road merges into Independence Boulevard, one of the quickest ways into Uptown Charlotte. The trip is only about 15 miles, but it can take 25 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. There is a bus line along Harrisburg Road, but with the spread-out residential streets, the area is very car-dependent. A bus ride into the city can take upwards of an hour. Bradfield Farms is situated around the Interstate 485 interchange, facilitating straightforward travel to Harrisburg and all of East Charlotte. The Charlotte Douglas International Airport is on the other side of the city, a 30-mile trip. Any properties along the Interstate 285 corridor can experience significant road noise. In addition, properties near the McKee Creek watershed might be at a slight risk of flooding.
