Mixed landscape close to the airport

Just south of Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Eagle Lake's landscape spans from undeveloped swaths of land on the neighborhood's west side to hotels, business parks and commercial areas on the east. The area is dotted with single-family homes, townhouses and apartments, and newer developments mix with more established residences. "It's just a nice area. It's very quiet and peaceful, and I see people walking all the time," says Jasmin Hilbert, leasing specialist at Avion Point Apartments in the neighborhood. "It's a convenient location. We have a lot of people that come into our community because they work at the airport."

Commuting from Eagle Lake by car or train

Residents have a quick drive on West Boulevard or ride from the Woodlawn light rail station to Uptown Charlotte, about 6 miles away. Although Eagle Lake is directly south of Charlotte Douglass International Airport, most homes aren't close enough for noise to be a major disruption. "You can hear planes fly overhead, and you can see them, but they're pretty quiet since they already took off," Hilbert says. Commuting is easy for residents working at the airport or in one of the area's office parks. "Most of our residents work at the airport. The commute is only 10 minutes," Hilbert says. "The traffic is kind of busy in the morning time, but towards the afternoon around 5:30, everyone's heading the opposite way, so it isn't as bad."

There is everything from sushi to pasta to burgers. All down high street there are cultural restaurants to appeal to the large international community at OSU.

We live in a busy city, so it is difficult for fire trucks and such to navigate quickly. It comes with the territory.
