Why homebuyers want the Chantilly lifestyle
Chantilly, a neighborhood minutes from Charlotte ’s Center City, is known for its family-friendly feel and walkability to popular dining and nightlife spots. Homes here span the eras, from bungalows and cottages with historic charm to eye-catching modern builds with luxury-level price tags. Commutes to Uptown are short, and the city’s streetcar line is within reach. Another draw is the Chantilly Neighborhood Association, which fosters togetherness, making it a place where neighbors know each other by name and people rarely move away.
The Chantilly neighborhood is minutes away from Uptown Charlotte.

Historic homes and newer builds on tree-lined streets
Small lending libraries and towering trees line the streets in Chantilly, where you’ll find early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows with front porch swings next to all-brick cottages and much larger American Foursquares. These historic styles mix with two-story Craftsman builds from the 2010s and modern designs from the 2020s. Neighbors live relatively close to one another, with lot sizes generally around a quarter of an acre, enough room for a backyard patio, shed and in-ground pool. If you’re looking for less maintenance, there are newly built townhouses along Shenandoah Avenue. “Chantilly is very popular for families,” says Anthony Swain, a Realtor with Monarch Group Realty. “You have sidewalks. The roads aren’t too busy. You have access to restaurants with great outdoor patios. It’s one of those neighborhoods where when you get off work, people take a walk in the neighborhood and settle in for the evening.”
Many of the older homes in Chantilly are smaller cottages.
Newer, larger homes are often modern or Craftsman-style.

Homebuyers often pay well above the Charlotte median here
The median home price here is around $930,000, more than double that of Charlotte and much higher than in neighboring Elizabeth and Commonwealth. Detached homes start in the lower $500,000s and quickly rise to more than $2 million. Townhouses don’t hit the market often. Only two units were sold in recent years, ranging from the lower $500,000s for about 1,800 square feet to the lower $600,000s for around 2,000 square feet.
Getting to Uptown is easy by car, bus, streetcar or bike
Uptown Charlotte, comprised of the First Ward, Second Ward, Third Ward and Fourth Ward, is less than 3 miles away, and you don’t need to take the highway to get there. The drive is less than 10 minutes when traffic is light. Alternatively, you can leave your car at home and take a CATS bus or a LYNX Gold Line streetcar instead. Biking is an option with multiple bike-friendly routes.
Assigned schools and magnet options for Chantilly families
Oakhurst STEAM Academy, Eastway Middle School and Garinger High School are the assigned schools for the neighborhood, but Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools lets families apply to magnet schools through an annual Program Choice Lottery. There are highly rated options nearby, such as:
Chantilly Montessori School, which serves students from prekindergarten through sixth grade
Elizabeth Traditional Elementary School, which has a leadership program
Shamrock Gardens Elementary School, which has Talent Development for gifted students
Piedmont Middle School, which has an International Baccalaureate program
East Mecklenburg High School, which also has an International Baccalaureate program
Chantilly Montessori School campus main's entrance.
The Elizabeth Traditional Elementary was one of Charlotte's first schools.

East 7th Street and Caswell Road offer plenty to do
Popular restaurants and hangout spots are steps from home along East 7th Street and North Caswell Road. Rosemont is a favorite for weekend brunch, and Puerta is known for its Mexican cuisine and lively atmosphere. You’ll want a reservation to dine at The Crunkleton, often considered Charlotte's best cocktail lounge. “They have this beautiful bar with huge, comfortable seats. They do a Tomahawk steak that they’re known for,” Swain says. A more relaxed vibe draws diners to Caswell Station for American fare, and Cajun Queen brings the flavors of New Orleans to the Queen City. Bars, breweries and live music venues are close by in Plaza Midwood, and you can enjoy a variety of shows and events at Bojangles Coliseum in neighboring Coliseum Drive.
Catalina Kitchen and Bar is a favorite for fish tacos and tagliatelle with scallops.
Chantilly residents head to Common Market for a delicious custom sandwich.

Chantilly Park and nearby green spaces offer outdoor fun
The community’s namesake, Chantilly Park, borders Briar Creek in the southernmost part of the neighborhood. There you can:
Take your dogs for a walk along a creek-side trail
Play soccer, volleyball and disc golf
Run around the playground with your kids
Enjoy a picnic under the shade of trees
Just outside the neighborhood is Veterans Park, where you can work out using the outdoor gym or cool off during the summer at the splash pad. There’s also the 24-acre Independence Park nearby. It has views of the Charlotte skyline, a 300-seat stadium and athletic fields.
You can take your four legged friends on the nature trail at Chantilly Park.
Veteran's Park, a popular green space nearby, features many amenities.

A close-knit community where neighbors know each other
If you move here, you’ll find an inviting and welcoming community. “What always struck me as interesting here is that people tend to know each other by name. There’s always a familiar face,” says Thomas Larsen, a longtime resident and the president of My Townhome Realty. “It’s an extraordinarily close-knit community, even more so than other Charlotte neighborhoods.” The enclave is supported by the volunteer-run Chantilly Neighborhood Association, which organizes community events, including Halloween Parades, 5k races, food truck nights and yard sales. Eric Layne, the association's former president, says residents tend to stick around for years: “Residents call it the 'Chantilly Shuffle' because once you move in, you don’t move out; you just choose another house in the neighborhood that better suits your needs.”
Chantilly residents have easy access to events at Bojangles Coliseum.
You can choose to run or walk at the The MoRA Community Run.

I love Chantilly and I have been here for my whole life. It has grown rapidly and become more expensive though. The area is great there are so many places nearby you can walk to and it gives you a great place to have a family and not have to sit in traffic to get to a job in the city. It's full of kids so that's great to consider if you want to start a family here.
