Outlying Charlotte community with ‘best of both worlds’
Coulwood Hills isn’t just a suburban pocket of the Queen City. This sizable and growing community occupying the northwest end of Charlotte sits almost perfectly between some of the region’s most scenic and popular sites. The meandering Mountain Island Lake and the preserves that form much of its shores sit less than 10 miles north of the heart of Coulwood. Then about 4 miles west is the U.S. National Whitewater Center, a watersports and outdoors destination that lies right along the banks of the Catawba River amid a largely forested habitat. And with the looping Interstate 485 and other major roadways passing through the community, its residents are given some direct routes to both Uptown Charlotte and a number of the city’s other distinct suburban destinations. “It’s a good location in the sense that it’s still within 20 minutes of Uptown Charlotte, and it’s just inside the major interstate. But it still has a kind of quiet country feel to it with the winding roads and mature trees,” says Isabelle Burbank, a Realtor with Helen Adams Realty, who’s made nearly 20 sales in the community. “It’s about 10 minutes from the U.S. National White Water Center and also downtown Belmont, which has a lot of cute shops. It’s well located, very well located. Also, about 15 minutes from the airport. It‘s the best of both worlds in terms of being a quiet and convenient location.”

Older ranch-style with growing inventory of Traditionals and Craftsmen
While many traditional ranch-style houses that go back to around the mid-20th century can still be found across the community, there is a growing amount of new two-story houses with Craftsman and traditional features. Those can be found in communities like the Aveline at Coulwood, where they stand out with their varied color palettes. Price points here for a roughly 1,700-square-foot home can go right around the mid-$300,000s. In fact, it's not uncommon for these modern homes with traditional and Craftsman features to fall somewhere in the $300,000s, which Burbank describes as rather unique for the Charlotte area. Some of the larger ones that are at least 2,000 square feet can go for over $400,000. Meanwhile, the much older ranch-styles can from the lower $300,000s to just under $450,000, with overall size playing a factor.
