A fast-moving market

Closeburn-Glenkirk offers residents a peaceful suburban lifestyle minus the long commute to work. Just 8 miles from Uptown Charlotte and 2 miles from SouthPark, Closeburn-Glenkirk has wide, gridded streets densely lined with Charlotte's native oak and maple trees, giving residents a sense of privacy. "This area is perfect for new homebuyers looking for a property within an older, established location, says eXp Realtor Rita Fleming-Johnson, who has lived and represented clients in the Charlotte area for over 40 years. "It is highly desirable and always a good investment." Home values range from $339,000 to $2.1 million and are steadily trending up. According to Fleming-Johnson, single-family homes in Closeburn-Glenkirk don't come on the market often and do not stay on the market for very long.
