Nevin Community
Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve is the green heart of the neighborhood
Nevin Community is best known and frequently visited for the sprawling Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve at its heart. Megan Keul, the marketing coordinator for Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation Department, says that "Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve is a 188-acre urban forest containing wetlands, a hardwood forest, an American Beech grove, and two ponds. Irwin Creek Greenway runs through this location from walking and biking access." Nevin Community Park merges with the preserve in the west end, holding almost 200 acres of grassy land surrounding lighted ball fields and bocce ball courts. Nevin Community Park's large disc golf course regularly hosts spring tournaments. The wide strip of green spaces is walkable to most Nevin Community residents. These local fixtures attract more Charlotteans as green spaces become increasingly sparse in city-centric locations.Local diners left and right, with plenty of groceries nearby
Locals have a few homegrown haunts to choose from for a quick bite. Sunflower Family Restaurant is the go-to spot for breakfast and lunch. The hot spot serves healthy Southern staples from its casual diner at the Statesville Road and Lake Road intersection. Maria's Grill is popular for breakfast, offering eggs, grits and pancakes seven days a week. Residents also have countless familiar restaurant chains and fast-food options for a quick meal. Nevin Community locals head to one of two nearby Food Lion locations for weekly grocery shops.Charlotte - Mecklenburg Schools prioritize academic achievement
The neighborhood falls under the jurisdiction of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Many local students attend the in-town Winding Springs Elementary and Ransom Middle, both rated a C on Niche. Ransom Middle is conveniently located beside a large tree-hedged 8-acre campus that connects with Nevin Community Park. The International Baccalaureate curriculum prepares students for other IB diploma programs at prestigious local secondary institutes. The school administration encourages students to perform community service through a point-based program facilitating outreach activities spanning diverse subjects and interests. West Charlotte High is the last stop on the public school track and holds a C-minus on Niche.Midcentury ranches with new constructions in Nevin Community
Charlotte local and real estate agent Jake Meinberg emphasizes the relative affordability of new construction homes in Nevin Community compared to those in Charlotte. He notes the ongoing recent building activity in the area, offering buyers the opportunity to enter the market at an affordable price. Properties in Nevin Community range from $200,000 to a little over $450,000, varying by age and square footage. There are renovated midcentury ranch homes on spacious yards shaded by old oaks for under $300,000. Many newer builds are on the market, with two-car garages in grid-patterned subdivisions for closer to $400,000. Split-level and cottage-style homes are checkered here and there.I-77 can take residents to Charlotte's business centers
Meinberg says, "I wouldn't say it's very walkable; you need a car to get around. It's relatively close to the university area, Wells Fargo campus and some other larger companies." University of North Carolina – Charlotte is 7 miles east of Nevin Community, and for more commutes, most residents hop on I-77 for a 6-mile ride into Uptown, Charlotte's business district. Statesville Road is an alternative route for those who prefer to bypass highway traffic.
