Lansdowne, a peaceful repose from Uptown

Lansdowne is a peaceful neighborhood known for its wide, tree-lined streets and appealing housing market. Well-maintained midcentury offerings and increased construction of sparkling custom homes worth over $1 million draw homebuyers to the area. The neighborhood’s population is diverse, but the area is also home to a sizable Jewish community.

Million dollar homes with yards of the month

Primarily built in the 1960s, the neighborhood maintains many original home designs, including mid-century modern and traditional brick ranch-style homes. However, according to Suzanne Cowden, Realtor with Corcoran HM Properties and a native Charlottean, many investors are “tearing down older properties and building million-dollar homes,” steadily turning Lansdowne into one of Charlotte’s more upscale neighborhoods. However, Lansdowne has four active covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) that dictate construction and renovation possibilities in the neighborhood, so homebuyers should be aware that making significant changes to properties is a regulated process. With sizeable, well-maintained lots, older homes typically range from $600,000 to $880,000, while new construction and renovated estates can cost up to $3 million. Yards are kept neat and lush, and Lansdowne’s volunteer civic league hosts a Yard of the Month event from March through October to celebrate residents who maintain a handsome property.

Recreation around Lansdowne

Adjacent to Lansdowne is James Boyce Park, a sizable neighborhood park with a playground, sports fields and wooded trails where joggers and cyclists can exercise. Beside the park is the Sardis Swim and Racquet Club, where neighborhood kids have their summer pool days and swim competitions. Running along the base of Lansdowne is McAlpine Creek, which has a 4-mile-long greenway that winds along with it. The greenway is paved, making walking, running and cycling easy. Residents looking to get involved with athletic clubs can join The Charlotte Squash Club or the Russell Tennis Center, Charlotte’s premier tennis and pickleball club.

Top schools, both private and public

Young students can attend Lansdowne Elementary School, “which is easily walkable or bikeable for neighborhood children,” says Cowden. “It has actually just been remodeled, too.” The school has a B-minus on Niche and “hosts many neighborhood events for kids to participate in.” Older students can move on to Carmel Middle School, which has a B-plus on Niche and was recertified as a national “School to Watch” in 2022. High schoolers can attend Providence High School, which scores an A rating on Niche and is ranked the fifth-best public high school in Mecklenburg County. Cowden also says private schooling is popular within Lansdowne, with Providence Day School being a top choice. This private school instructs kindergarten through 12th grade students; it earns an A-plus from Niche and is ranked the best private high school in Charlotte.

Neighborhood houses sizable Jewish community

Within Lansdowne is the Foundation of Shalom Park, a Jewish non-profit organization with a 54-acre campus featuring multiple schools, synagogues, recreational areas and community center outreach programs. Shalom Park is considered the center of Jewish life in Greater Charlotte, so its presence within Lansdowne is significant. The campus features the Levine Jewish Community Center, Charlotte Jewish Preschool and Day School, a Jewish Family Services food pantry, a community garden, Conservative and Reform synagogues and The Margaret and Lou Schwartz Butterfly Garden Holocaust Memorial. The memorial, designed by local artist Paul Rousso, honors children who perished in the Holocaust.

Getting around Lansdowne

North Carolina State Route 16, or Providence Road, is Lansdowne’s main thoroughfare. Many Charlotte Area Transit System bus stops line 16, making public transportation accessible to commuters. Taking 16 by car or bus leads locals directly to Uptown Charlotte, about 8 miles northwest. For more extensive travel, Charlotte Douglas International Airport is 13 miles from Lansdowne.

Gourmet bites at Strawberry Hill

Lansdowne is directly southeast of Strawberry Hill, which houses the closest dining center. Residents can pick up groceries at The Fresh Market or stop in for a bite to eat at one of the center’s many restaurants. Red Rocks Café is a casual stop for wine and New American fare with a bar, bakery, and covered patio. Aqua e Vino is an upscale restaurant serving gourmet Italian dishes locals find well worth the high price tag. Superica serves Tex-Mex meals for lunch and dinner daily and hosts boozy brunches on the weekends, and mezeh is a colorfully ambient space specializing in Mediterranean-style bowls and wraps. When residents are in the mood to shop, SouthPark Mall is just 3 miles away. Cowden says SouthPark is “very high-end and has a lot of brand names. It’s only five minutes up the road, too,” making it a popular spot any day of the week.
