Convenient locale with relative affordability
Homebuyers in Farm Pond want the best of character, location and price point, and this east Charlotte neighborhood delivers. As its name suggests, prior to its residential establishment in the 1970s, this region operated as farmland tended by the Harris family of Harris Teeter fame. The grocery store chain’s flagship location is just a few miles down the road. Today, Farm Pond is a culturally diverse neighborhood surrounded by suburban conveniences. “You’re close to schools and places of worship, greenways, libraries, fire departments – I mean, you have it all minutes away,” says Michael Calabrese, broker with Prism Properties and Development. As the Queen City’s transit system expands into the outer suburbs, Farm Pond is a prime spot to invest in.

From older split-levels to renovated ranch-style homes
A large part of this neighborhood’s makeup is apartment complexes, but homebuyers will find a broad spectrum of residential architecture to choose from. Midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes are a few streets over from newer builds with contemporary Craftsman designs. Those who prefer tense clusters of trees to pristine suburban lawns will feel right at home here beneath the mature oaks and maples. List prices start at roughly $200,000 for a move-in-ready townhouse and climb into the mid-$300,000s for a renovated ranch-style home. New builds with four bedrooms and nearly 2,000 square feet tend to peak at around $400,000.

Take a walk in the neighborhood park or head north for a hike
Campell Creek winds through the neighborhood, lending a natural, forested feel to the otherwise suburban landscape. Campbell Creek Park is situated at the heart of the neighborhood, within walking distance of many homes. Wooded pathways wind in a circle around the park’s small, centralized green space that features a picnic shelter and playground. For more outdoor recreation, residents head to Reedy Creek Park to hit the dog park, test their arm on the disc golf course or explore miles of trails. This sprawling nature preserve is about 3 miles or 10 minutes north of the neighborhood.

The Hickory Grove Library makes new residents feel at home
The local Hickory Grove Branch Library is a beloved neighborhood mainstay that provides activities for all ages, from kids’ story times to painting classes for creative adults. “The library isn’t just about books. We foster connections with our community,” says branch manager Viviette White. The library embraces the large immigrant community in east Charlotte with a robust world language collection that includes items in Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, French and more. It also promotes resources to help neighborhood newcomers settle into the area, including the nearby OurBRIDGE for Kids and the Simmons YMCA New American Welcome Center.

With Charlotte’s Honduran Consulate nearby, Central American flavors are well-represented at eateries such as Delicias Restaurante Latino and Antojitos Catrachos.

An expanded light rail line will run nearby
Uptown Charlotte is an 8-mile drive away along Albemarle Road, making for a roughly 20-minute daily commute. While this area is car-dependent, the Charlotte Area Transit System operates locate and express bus routes with several stops along the main roads. A proposed extension of the LYNX Gold Line light rail would stop 2 miles east of the neighborhood at the site of the former Eastland Mall, which the city has been eyeing for redevelopment. “That’ll help increase the value of the area and the neighborhood in the future. You’ll be able to get Uptown without having to drive,” says Calabrese.
