Olde Whitehall is a Mecklenburg County neighborhood branching off South Tryon Street, giving residents a direct connection into Uptown Charlotte while still feeling tucked away from the city rush. Residents of this community are often able to avoid the hassle of downtown traffic, since major employers and shopping centers sit just a short drive from the neighborhood.
Colonial Revival, two-story New Traditional and ranch-style homes can be found all throughout this community “Lots are maybe even twice as big in Olde Whitehall than in Ayrsley, so it’s great for families with kids and pets,” says David Anderson, Realtor with eXp who has specialized in the South Charlotte area for 4 years. “It’s a nice area, and the price is right for a lot of first-time homeowners."
Despite its old-timey name, the neighborhood's homes only date back to the 1980s. Old trees are still common, particularly on the west side of the neighborhood, where lots are bigger. Some subdivisions like Ayrshire Glen have sidewalks. Detached homes and townhouses range in price from the low $300,000s to low $400,000s, while condos usually fall between the high $200,000s and mid $300,000s.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools offers school choice through themed magnet schools. Students in the area can attend Steele Creek Elementary, Robert F. Kennedy Middle and Olympic High. Kennedy Middle students receive Chromebooks for usage during the school day. Olympic High School offers five different National Academy Foundation (NAF) career pathways that prepare students for work or additional education in fields such as health science, engineering and manufacturing, and finance and business.
Most residents are within a 2-mile drive of Interstate 485, which loops around Charlotte. The city's downtown area, known locally as "Uptown," is a straight shot away thanks to Interstate 77 and South Tryon Street. Residents can expect an 8- to 9-mile commute and heavy traffic during peak hours. Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus line 16 also follows South Tryon Street, ending at Uptown. Charlotte Douglas International Airport, one of the busiest in the US, is about 9 miles north.
Renaissance Park offers an 18-hole disc golf course, big and small dog parks, skatepark, tennis courts and more. Residents are also close to the oldest nature preserve in Mecklenburg County, McDowell Nature Preserve, which overlooks Lake Wylie. Across Interstate 485, folks will find Metalmorphosis, a rotating modern outdoor sculpture created by Czech Sculptor, David Cerny. The metallic sculpture sits atop a fountain surrounded by benches and flower beds in a small plaza, a quiet space for rest and reflection. At Ayrsley Grand Cinema, locals can catch the latest flicks from reclining chairs, while thrill-seekers will love to ride the rollercoasters at Carowinds amusement park. "The theme park is a big draw for families with young kids," says Grant Wilsterman, Charlotte-based Broker with Compass. "It's so close by that they could stop there after school if they wanted to."
