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.
