McAlpine offers suburban living between Pineville and Ballantyne
Creeks and greenways hug McAlpine, a neighborhood along the southern curve of the Interstate 485 Loop. Here, you can live in an established home on a spacious tree-shaded lot without paying the premium price tag often associated with South Charlotte living. Commuters are drawn here for the highway access and proximity to employers in Ballantyne and Pineville, and families often look to buy here for the school zoning and suburban lifestyle, with parks, sports clubs and shopping centers all close by.
Take a walk along the trail at the McMullen Creek Greenway.
The McAlpine neighborhood of Charlotte is only 11 miles south of Uptown.

A mix of single-family homes and condos
Single-family homes, mostly from the late 1970s and early 1980s, rest along McAlpine’s winding and hilly streets. Ranch-style homes are the most common, but you’ll also find Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals, Dutch Colonial-inspired split-levels and contemporary designs. “The homes are older than you would find over in Ballantyne, but with that comes larger lots and mature trees,” says Carmela Hidalgo, a Realtor with NorthGroup Real Estate. If you’re looking for less maintenance, there are townhouses and condos, some of which have community pools and other shared amenities. “The area attracts both working professionals and families because you have proximity to jobs at the Pineville hospital and interstate access to Uptown, but also really great schools,” Hidalgo says.

Students can attend highly rated public and private schools
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district serves McAlpine. The neighborhood’s assigned schools start with Endhaven Elementary School, which receives a B-plus rating from Niche.

What the commute to Uptown and Ballantyne looks like
Commuters can quickly hop onto interstates 485 and 77 to reach job hubs around the Queen City. The drive into Uptown Charlotte, about 11 miles away, can take as little as 25 minutes, but during rush hour, it can take up to an hour. Rather than sit in rush-hour traffic, some residents turn to the LYNX Blue Line light rail. The closest station is about 3 miles away and has a large park-and-ride lot. Ballantyne, host to major employers such as Brighthouse Financial and SoFi, is a quick 3-mile drive south. If you want to take a CATS bus to work, there are bus stops along Pineville-Matthews and Johnston roads.
Retailers and restaurants are close to home at Carmel Commons
You can shop and dine in the neighborhood at Carmel Commons. The Fresh Market and Pet Supplies Plus anchor this shopping center, which has a mix of chain and local restaurants. Amélie’s French Bakery & Café is a favorite for coffee and pastries. The Rusty Onion is a pub-style pizzeria with a large rotating selection of draft beer, and Cabo's Mexican Cuisine & Cantina is a favorite for frozen margaritas. An array of national retailers and the Carolina Place mall are minutes away in Pineville. Ballantyne offers more retail and restaurant options, as well as attractions such as TD Amp Ballantyne, where you can enjoy concerts, festivals, group exercise classes and markets.
McAlpine residents head to Carolina Place for leisurely weekend shopping.

What potential buyers should know about flood risk
While McAlpine has a minor risk of flooding, according to the First Street Foundation, FEMA flood maps show that properties along the McMullen and McAlpine creeks rest within or near special flood hazard areas. This means flood insurance may be required.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
