Suburban living near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Named after two of its long-established subdivisions, Mallard Creek-Withrow Downs is a sprawling North Charlotte enclave with a prominent next-door neighbor. This quiet community sits across the interstate from booming University City, host to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Several employers, such as AT&T and TIAA Financial Services, fill the offices at University Research Park in the neighborhood’s southern end. “It’s a wonderful area for young professionals and first-time home buyers,” says Nelvia Bullock, a Realtor with Compass who moved to the Queen City nine years ago. “There’s plenty of entertainment, greenways and you’re close to I-485.” She adds that this diverse neighborhood is home to professors, faculty, students and families. Home prices are a bonus. “You can save a little money and still get to Uptown and South End relatively quickly,” Bullock says.

Contemporary styles on sidewalk-lined streets
Tidy sidewalk-lined subdivisions fill Mallard Creek-Withrow Downs. Brick Modern Transitional homes resting on half-acre lots adorned with flower beds and shade trees dominate the neighborhood. These late 20th century and early 21st century designs often lean on regal elements of the Greek Revival and Federal styles, such as full-height columns and second-floor Palladian windows. Midcentury Ranch-style homes and townhouses are also available. “Some of the newer communities even have amenities like outdoor pools and clubhouse,” says Nancy Braun, a Realtor at Showcase Realty who frequently sells properties in the neighborhood. Most homes cost between $400,000 and $800,000, with townhouses costing between $245,000 and $550,000. “You’re not paying the price tag of top trendy neighborhoods like South End or NoDa,” Bullock says.

Concerts, NASCAR and football in Queen City
Mallard Creek-Withrow Downs is close to several major entertainment destinations, including the PNC Music Pavilion, a large outdoor venue hosting live music, festivals and events. “Charlotte gets really sick shows, like Usher and Sting,” Bullock says. “We were not getting arena shows five years ago. Now we are.” Great Wolf Lodge Water Park, busiest in the summer when families book a stay to cool off with amusement park fun, sits down the road from Charlotte Motor Speedway, packed by tens of thousands of NASCAR fans on race weekends. Over at UNCC, Jerry Richardson Stadium thrums with football fans when the 49ers play.
