Coliseum Drive, neighborhood based around performance centers
As its moniker indicates, Coliseum Drive houses a sprawling conference center and performance spaces within walking distance of the neighborhood's homes. The prominent structures and their respective parking lots consume much of this community's landscape. Residents are also within walking distance of shopping and dining options. Coliseum Drive's architectural blend of old and new, large and small, commercial and residential, embodies the transitional and increasingly sought-after character of Charlotte, a city that seems to be changing and growing. “Charlotte is very much on the rise. The economy here is very strong right now, and neighborhoods like Coliseum Drive are benefiting," says Realtor Sally Awad, who sells homes in the area with the Sally Awad Group.
