Starter homes with midcentury character
“It’s definitely a starter home community, but it is stable. You’ve got a lot of older residents who’ve been there for years,” says Le'Kisha Stevenson, broker and owner with Metric Realty. Most of Oakview Terrace dates back to the 1950s and ’60s, with a mix of midcentury bungalows, Minimal Traditional cottages and classic ranch-style homes, plus a sprinkling of vinyl-sided New Traditional houses added in the 2000s and beyond. In recent years, some new construction has started to fill in remaining lots, with move-in-ready newer homes typically landing in the mid-$200,000s to high-$300,000s, while older properties that need updating often trade closer to the mid-$100,000s. “It’s still a relatively affordable part of Charlotte. And it’s close to Uptown, so I’d expect to see some growth within the next five to 10 years,” says Terell Culpepper, a Realtor with Carolina Alpine Property Management.

Its seem like a pretty crazy area at the top and a lot of different activity goes on on the main road. Its very dirty, the people cannot drive, and some people often ask you for money. If you go down the street it is very peaceful but it depends on the time of day because people be speeding down the street and almost causing car accidents. I do not choose to live here because its not a type of environment that you want your daughter around. The men are very creepy and follow you sometimes, some will hit on the mother and the daughter and all the grown men try to talk to you without asking your age. Compared to my old neighborhood back in Pittsburgh I would rate this place a one; it is closer to the downtown area but its a terrible area in my book.
