Things to do and places to eat in Southwest Charlotte
“One of my favorite things about buying in Outer South Charlotte is that pretty much no matter where you buy, you are going to be conveniently located next to a variety of shops, restaurants and grocery stores,” Patton says. RiverGate, a large shopping mall featuring Target, The Home Depot, Marshalls and other familiar stores, is next to the neighborhood. Chain restaurants join regional favorites, such as Jim ‘N Nicks Community Bar-B-Q and Showmars, a Greek-American fast-food joint. The locally owned A Piece of Havana is known for its flavorful Cuban dishes and live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Area parks include the sprawling McDowell Nature Preserve, offering hiking, camping, and access to Lake Wylie, as well as Thomas McAlister Winget Park, featuring a playground and fields for soccer and baseball. Carowinds, an amusement park, is less than 5 miles away.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I don't see crime happening in this area of Charlotte. I see it happening occasionally closer to uptown Charlotte, but not really in the southern parts. I'm sure it happens, crime happens everywhere. But since I don't see it, I figure the police do a really good job of keeping it under locks and preventing issues from becoming bigger. Police are active at every school I've gone to, which is great for the parents to feel safer. I actually have a neighbor who's a cop. He's incredibly friendly and watches our house when we go on vacations. Almost everytime I go somewhere, I see at least one cop car on the road. They have a presence in big store parking lots as well. The few times we have had to call them for something, they show up quickly.
