Business parks close to home
Derita-Statesville is a commuter's gold mine. This older north Charlotte neighborhood sits just northeast of the Interstate 77-84 interchange and next to one of the city's most prominent business parks and research centers. Homebuyers are attracted to the rare pairing of accessibility and privacy available in this community, which grew to 1,500 homes in the middle of the 20th century. With commercial landscapes to the south and a train track to the north, the neighborhood is no stranger to noise pollution. However, pockets of dense trees and winding creeks buffer the noise and give the neighborhood a sense of remoteness despite being so close to major employers, shopping and busy streets. Working-class families, longtime residents and young professionals live in the community's mix of apartments and relatively affordable homes.

A short drive from shopping hubs
Derita-Statesville is almost entirely residential and industrial, but retail and dining options are nearby. "The neighborhood puts everyone in a place where they're about 20 minutes from everything in town," says says local Realtor Cheri McNeal at Coldwell Banker Realty. "They can get to Northlake Mall, Uptown and Concord Mills without a problem." Each shopping and dining destination has a unique selection of name-brand retailers and restaurants. Maria's Grill on West Sugar Creek Road is the go-to spot for brunch. The locally owned family-style restaurant serves healthy portions of American classics. McNeal also recommends heading southwest to Camp North End in Druid Hills. The converted warehouse hosts shopping boutiques and local eateries with walk-up service. The edgy open-air market is a popular weekend stop for a bite to eat from one of its funky outposts. Derita residents can stop at the Food Lion on North Graham Street for grocery trips, and most will head east to the shopping centers sandwiched between I-85 and North Tryon Street for errands and retail shopping. Ikea, Walmart Supercenter and Home Depot, among other familiar retail chains, reside in this large area.

1960s ranches and 2000s new builds
Construction and development during the middle of the century brought many split-level and ranch-style homes to Derita-Statesville. Set back on modest lawns that sweep out onto narrow streets, the homes range from $200,000 to $400,000. While the value and cost of homes have increased steadily in the past few years, they remain almost $200,000 less expensive than the Charlotte Metro average. A few clusters of new developments contribute to the increasing median price, currently $340,000. New traditional homes with cross-gabled roofs and large windows offer a turnkey move-in experience but less land than the more established homes of the area. Houses here sell fast, spending less time on the market than the national average. "We don't have a lot of inventory," McNeal says. "If it's on the market and priced right, it goes quickly." With nearly one-third of the residents renting, the area is popular with investors.

Acres and acres of hiking trails
Just northwest is the 188-acre Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve. The park features wetlands, two ponds, a creek and opportunities to observe birds and butterfiles along trails through dense woods. The forested area opens to Nevin Park, which holds a large playground, baseball diamonds, soccer fields and an entire disc golf course. Residents can walk to the small playground and basketball court at Allen Hills Park for outdoor fun closer to home. Small creeks between the homes bring sounds of crickets and frogs but are prone to occasional flooding. Baptist, Presbyterian and non-denominational churches at the intersection of Sugar Creek Road and Graham Street are home to community events and gathering spaces. The playgrounds, basketball hoops and large fields behind the houses of worship are open to the public.
Nevin Park is a great place to bring the kids and relax while in Mineral Springs.

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 wouldn't choose to live here again because there isn't as much neighborhood interaction as you would hope for. The schools in the area aren't the best and there aren't many people moving in to help circulate income in the area.
