An up-and-coming area of southeast Charlotte
As the circle of Charlotte's growing population expands outward, quiet neighborhoods that have previously been overlooked are moving into the spotlight. That's the case with Oakhurst, a southeast Charlotte neighborhood shaded by the lush canopies of mature trees. Located just south of the Wendover and Independence intersection, the neighborhood faces new developments, streetscape overhauls, and, way down the line, light rail access. “Oakhurst is a neighborhood that’s starting to revitalize, with restaurants and breweries coming in,” says Tina Bisson, a Realtor with Keller Williams in Ballantyne, who has experience in the area. “It's right down the street from Cotswold, a hop, skip and a jump away from Chantilly, and locals can enjoy proximity to Uptown’s entertainment without having to be right in it.”
There are many interstate and highway accesses in Oakhurst.

Old ranchers, new developments
Oakhurst is home to several new developments of single-family homes. These uniform lots offer ultra-modern geometric designs or stately homes with wrap-around porches at price points that range from $700,000 to $1 million. “The houses have a lot of character; they're not so much the cookie-cutter homes we often see in new construction,” Bisson says. “That’s a big draw for people.” Several townhouse complexes have also cropped up in recent years, with units that range from $450,000 to $600,000. With interest in the neighborhood increasing, property values are on the rise, but the neighborhood still offers some more affordable options compared to Cotswold or Chantilly. Older bungalows and ranch-style homes range from $300,000 to $500,000, usually with around a quarter acre in lot size and construction dates in the mid-1900s.

Coming soon to Monroe Road
The Oakhurst community sits along Monroe Road, which is facing several development projects in the coming years. The stretch of the road that runs through the neighborhood is slated for a streetscape overhaul, including wider sidewalks, more pedestrian crosswalks and a paved multi-use trail running parallel to the road. Construction on these improvements is projected to start in 2025. The long-discussed LYNX Silver Line light rail expansion would also stretch along Independence Boulevard, putting two stops within Oakhurst. Although the light rail isn't coming until the 2030s, Charlotte is a growing city, and the Oakhurst area is on the front lines of the outward expansion.

Suburban strip malls with a few gems
Both Wendover and Monroe have a decent selection of local businesses and strip malls. Between a typical section of pharmacies, gyms and banks, as well as a remarkable amount of salons, there are a few favorite eateries. Night Swim Coffee has a welcoming atmosphere for chatting or working, and the SWIRL dessert bar is the go-to spot for all things sweet. The Common Market is an eclectic store, restaurant and bar all rolled into one. When it's time to pick up groceries, Food Lion, Walmart, and Aldi line the edges of Oakhurst, but they are not walkable for most residents.
Swirl dessert bar, in Oakurst is a great spot for a sweet treat.

Putting the "Oak" in "Oakhurst"
Oakhurst has no large green spaces, but as the name suggests, many mature oaks, as well as hickories and maples, line the streets. Residents can also claim a bit of earth to call their own at the Oakhurst community garden, which has communal beds and individual plots. And the small Oakhurst Park has a playground and multi-use field within walking distance of many residents. For community events, the Monroe Road Advocates (MoRA) group is a local non-profit that plans free summer concerts and seasonal festivals and encourages art installations. They also spearhead initiatives like native tree planting and advocating for community concerns.
Oakhurst is a neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina with a population of 3,030.

Commuting to Center City
The Charlotte Area Transit System offers bus routes throughout the neighborhood, and proximity to Independence Boulevard makes commuting a breeze, though there can be some traffic along the way. Uptown is 5 miles away, and the trip ranges from 10 to 25 minutes. For trips to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, 13 miles away, residents of Oakhurst have to pass through the city or take a long way around.
There are many interstate and highway accesses in Oakhurst.

We moved here almost 2yrs ago. We love the diversity and character of homes. The neighborhoods are walkable and though we are older, we have always felt safe. What oakhurst lacks are Resturants, shops. I don't want to use the word "high-end", but much more than Jersey Mike's. Lastly, there is perfect spot for a grocery store like "Trader Joe's ". The demographics would support it.

I love living in the Charlotte area because it's become such a thriving place to be. There are new houses, restaurants and office buildings going up all over the place. Roads are being repaved, trees are being planted and people are generally friendly. I feel safe and at home in my community.
