Why commuters, families and nature lovers are drawn to Northlake
Northlake is a suburban neighborhood in North Charlotte, just south of Huntersville.

Homes range from established Colonial Revivals to brand-new builds and are often priced well below the citywide median. Highly rated public schools and access to a central greenway add to Northlake’s family-friendly appeal.
Northlake commuters can easily get around Charlotte with its proximity to major interstates.
Uptown Charlotte is home to many large employers and entertainment options.

You can find a home here for less than the citywide median
The neighborhood’s median sale price is around $330,000, well below Charlotte ’s median. “The price points in that area aren’t extremely high. We see price points easily creeping up in the $400,000s in Charlotte as a whole, whereas you can find homes in the 300,000s in Northlake,” says Scott Bauknight, a Realtor with Lifestyle International Realty. Detached homes range from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$500,000s. Townhouses start in the upper $100,000s and can reach the lower $300,000s. “If you’re looking for an area that’s growing fast, opportunity to get great property value, easy access to a lot of entertainment and proximity to Uptown, it’s one of the best places to live,” Bauknight says.
Students can go to highly rated public schools
Northlake is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district. Several elementary schools serve the neighborhood, including Long Creek Elementary School, which has a visual and performing arts magnet program. It feeds into Francis Bradley Middle School, which receives a B-plus rating from Niche. Students can advance to the B-rated Hopewell High School, known for its Cambridge Diploma Program. All three schools are nearby in Huntersville. Alternatively, Pioneer Springs Community School, which earns a B-minus rating, is a public charter option in Davis Lake-Eastfield.

With direct access to interstates 485 and 77, Northlake is in a convenient spot for commuters. “That’s the uniqueness of Charlotte. If you’re by 485, you can be within 45 minutes of everywhere in town,” Bauknight says. Major job hubs include:
Uptown, which is about 10 miles away
South End, which is around 11 miles away
University City, which is less than 13 miles away
SouthPark, which is nearly 16 miles away
Ballantyne, which is roughly 29 miles away

Northlake Mall anchors a busy dining and shopping scene
More than 100 name-brand stores and chain restaurants fill Northlake Mall, where, in addition to shopping and dining, you can catch the latest blockbuster at AMC Northlake 14. “It’s one of the staples for shopping in the area,” Bauknight says. “On the weekends, you’ll always see a lot more activity there.” National retailers such as Lowe's Home Improvement, PetSmart and Target surround the mall, and there are a variety of grocery stores within 5 miles of the neighborhood, including Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Aldi. Most of the restaurants in this area are chains, but there are a few local spots, such as:
Lulabelle’s, a restaurant and lounge known for its creative craft cocktails
Kasthamandap Kitchen, a relaxed eatery specializing in Nepali cuisine
Bobbee O's BBQ, a family-owned barbecue joint
