Newell offers family-friendly living close to UNC Charlotte
Newell is less than a mile from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, but this easygoing suburb feels worlds away from all the college town buzz. The neighborhood is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and variety of homes, which fill a patchwork of subdivisions, both long-established and newly developed. Residents here are a short drive from shops, restaurants and entertainment venues in University City and Harrisburg, and the amenity-packed Reedy Creek Park is practically in their backyard. Newell is also a good spot for commuters, who benefit from quick routes into Uptown.

A mix of established homes and fresh construction
Development in the Newell area began in the late 1980s and has continued steadily ever since. Older subdivisions feature ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals on larger lots with mature trees. Newer developments offer transitional designs and brand-new Craftsman-inspired builds on smaller lots bordered by sidewalks, as well as townhouses with attached garages. There are also apartment complexes. However, homeowners far outnumber renters here. Zanthia Hastings, a Realtor with Real Broker, LLC, says even with University City close by, the neighborhood is home to more families than college students. “It’s the bridge between UNC Charlotte and the Eastway area. Newell has some light industry there, but it’s really just a small, suburban community,” Hastings says.

How much you’ll pay for a home in Newell
Newell’s median sale price is around $350,000, well below Charlotte ’s median but in line with that of nearby neighborhoods, such as University City South and Harris-Houston. Home prices start at the lower $200,000s and can reach the lower $600,000s. Townhouses cost between the upper $100,000s and the upper $300,000s. “It’s very attractive to people looking to settle down and find their forever home, but there are some communities that are good for first-time buyers,” says Jennifer Foster, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “It’s kind of a sweet spot.” Some subdivisions have HOAs with monthly fees ranging from about $10 to nearly $80.
Neighborhood schools, with magnet options close by
The public schools serving the neighborhood include University Meadows Elementary School and Julius L. Chambers High School. However, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools students can apply to a school of their choice through the district’s annual enrollment lottery. Several highly rated magnet schools are within 6 miles of the neighborhood, including:
Dorothy J. Vaughan Academy of Technology at Parkside, which has a STEM program
Cato Middle College High School, which offers college-level courses
Shamrock Gardens Elementary School, which features a program for gifted students
Highland Mill Montessori School, which serves prekindergarten through sixth grade
The entrance to Joseph W. Grier Academy.
A unique brick entrance to Northridge Middle in Charlotte.

Amenities abound in University City and Harrisburg
Residents have numerous nearby options for shopping, dining and entertainment. “There are a lot of restaurants in this area, especially the closer you get to the university,” Foster says. “And then when you go over to Harrisburg, there’s a lot of smaller, family-owned restaurants that are popular as well.” Harrisburg Family House Restaurant, Percent Tap House and Harbor Inn Seafood are local favorites. University City offers big-box stores and national retailers like Target, Walmart Supercenter and T.J. Maxx. Food Lion and Harris Teeter are the closest grocery stores. “The Charlotte Motor Speedway is right down the road. You can’t hear it from there, but it’s within close proximity,” Foster says. “And the PNC Music Pavilion [now known as the Truliant Amphitheater] is where a lot of bands perform when they come to the area.”

There’s so much to do at Reedy Creek Park
Just south of the neighborhood is the expansive Reedy Creek Park. Some residents can walk from their doorsteps into the forested park and nature preserve, which spans more than 900 acres. You can spend an afternoon there:
Hiking along tree-shaded trails
Playing disc golf, cricket, baseball and basketball
Training like an NFL player on the Play 60 Challenge Course
Exploring the exhibits at Reedy Creek Nature Center
Disc golf is very popular at Reedy Creek Park.
Shooting some hoops at Reedy Creek Park.

A convenient neighborhood for commuting
Uptown Charlotte is less than 9 miles away, and commuters have multiple ways to get there. Driving is the most common, with Interstate 85 and Tryon Street close by. The drive takes between 15 and 35 minutes, depending on traffic. City buses stop in the neighborhood along East W.T. Harris Boulevard, and there’s a light rail stop a few miles away.
Public transportation is very accessible from the Newell area.
There's a suburban feel to portions of Newell as well.
