Growing suburb near the interstate, a university and more
Anchored by Interstate 485, Harris-Houston is surrounded by restaurants, grocery stores and attractions, ranging from supermarket chains to Concord Mills, one of Charlotte’s largest malls. All these amenities and more have invited a wave of development across Harris-Houston and North Charlotte as a whole. “You’re next-door to the fastest growing zip code in all of Charlotte,” says Landon Albrick, team lead and Realtor with The Albrick Group who has 7 years of experience. “Buyers are gravitating toward areas with this kind of accessibility.” Chris Cunningham, Realtor with Compass who has about 20 years of experience in the Charlotte area, concurs, noting the explosion of growth that has taken place beyond the beltway. “It’s a good place for first-time homebuyers,” he says. “Home prices are lower out there, and it’s close to grocery stores and all the amenities you need. It’s also close to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, so it wouldn’t be bad for people commuting to college.”
The University of North Carolina Charlotte is central to the Harris-Houston community.
Harris-Houston is a wonderful neighborhood to live, work, and play.

New homes, condos and a manufactured home park
The neighborhood of Harris-Houston is on the newer side. “Over the last 20 years, the area has become largely filled in,” Cunningham says. “Land prices are a bit lower out there, since it’s outside of the beltway, and they’re building toward the racetrack now.” The earliest homes in the neighborhood date to the 1980s and 90s and follow Colonial Revival, ranch-style and raised ranch-style designs. Many 21st century homes follow New Traditional designs. Lots are on the larger side, with the average parcel size exceeding a quarter of an acre. Prices for single-family detached homes range run from about $300,000 to $400,000. Condos can also be found on the southwest side Harris-Houston, selling in the low $200,000s. Alternatively, buyers might consider Queen’s Grant Mobile Home Park, a manufactured home community just off Interstate 485.
New Traditional homes are abundant throughout the Harris-Houston community.
