What makes Nevin Community a peaceful yet connected place to live

Nevin Community is a growing neighborhood in North Charlotte, where the city’s urban grid begins to shift to a more suburban landscape. Home to a large neighborhood park and an even larger nature preserve, the community offers a variety of recreational activities, as well as a peaceful, tucked-away feel, despite being only 6 miles from Uptown Charlotte. Residents enjoy lower home prices compared to much of the surrounding area and access to quality schools, local restaurants and numerous shopping options, all of which are just minutes away.

Homes range from older farmhouses to Craftsman new construction

With development from the early 20th century to today, the Nevin Community offers homebuyers a variety of architectural styles to choose from. The neighborhood’s rural pockets feature farmhouses, cottages and midcentury ranch-style homes and split-levels on larger lots shaded by mature trees. Older subdivisions feature New Traditional and transitional builds, and newer developments offer Craftsman-inspired new construction. There is also a new townhouse community along Elaine Avenue. Living space across all homes in the area averages around 1,500 square feet, which is below the national average.

Detached homes and townhouses for less than Charlotte’s median

Short and easy commutes to Uptown Charlotte

With no sidewalks and little within walking distance, Nevin Community is primarily car-dependent. "I wouldn't say it’s very walkable; you need a car to get around,” says Jake Meinberg , a Realtor with Costello Real Estate. “[The neighborhood is] relatively close to the university area, Wells Fargo campus and some other larger companies." Uptown Charlotte, home to the First Ward , Second Ward , Third Ward and Fourth Ward , is about 6 miles away via Statesville Road, which features bike lanes and CATS bus stops. Interstate 77 is another option for the drive that can take between 12 and 25 minutes, depending on traffic.

Lived here my entire life. Never felt safe leaving my house because of the neighborhood residents. The best part of the neighborhood was the heavy forestation but that has been quickly changing. Do not more here unless you to help repair the environment.
