Why Quail Hollow stands out in South Charlotte

Quail Hollow is an upscale suburban neighborhood south of Charlotte’s Center City, known for its diverse home styles, spacious tree-lined lots and a neighborly spirit. Like many neighborhoods in this area, it offers easy access to SouthPark, a high-end mall, as well as popular parks and highly rated schools. What sets it apart, however, is its proximity to the exclusive Quail Hollow Club, which hosts professional golf tournaments annually, including the PGA Championship in 2025.

Architecture spans midcentury ranch designs to modern mansions

Quail Hollow’s single-family homes, built from the 1960s and onward, come in various designs, from brick ranch-style homes and split-levels to regal Colonial Revivals with attached two-car garages to modern, custom mansions. “Every home is a little different. Everything has been worked on and loved,” says Lindsay Redfern, a Quail Hollow resident and Realtor with Cottingham & Chalk. The neighborhood’s thick canopy of trees shades spacious yards, typically over a third of an acre. Properties are neatly landscaped with garden beds and shapely shrubs. There are also townhouses and condos.

How Quail Hollow’s home prices compare to surrounding neighborhoods

Most Quail Hollow homes cost between the upper $400,000s and the mid-$900,000s. However, custom luxury properties start above $1 million and can reach nearly $2 million. The median sale price is around $580,000, well above Charlotte ’s median, as well as that of the adjacent neighborhoods of Starmount and Starmount Forest. However, the median home price in Beverly Woods and Closeburn-Glenkirk is significantly higher. “[Buyers] can expect the home to go under contract fast. If you want to live in that area, you need to be ready to write an offer,” says Lisa Emory, a Realtor with Compass.

Condos range from the upper $100,000s to the lower $400,000s. Townhouses rarely come on the market. Two units sold in 2025, with prices ranging from the lower $400,000s for roughly 1,600 square feet to the mid-$700,000s for nearly 2,300 square feet. Some subdivisions have voluntary homeowners associations that organize events and maintain landscaping in shared areas. Monthly fees range from less than $10 to around $170.

Public magnet schools and top-rated private schools are nearby

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is highly rated and offers school choice through an annual lottery. The district has magnet schools, including Quail Hollow's Huntingtowne Farms Elementary School and the nearby Quail Hollow Middle School, both of which offer International Baccalaureate programs. The neighborhood is also close to several top-rated private and charter schools, including:

  • Charlotte Country Day School
  • Charlotte Christian School
  • Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy
  • British International School of Charlotte

Commute to Uptown Charlotte by car, bus or train

Commuters have a few ways to reach Uptown Charlotte, the city’s central business district, comprised of the First Ward, Second Ward, Third Ward and Fourth Ward. City buses skirt the neighborhood, and a light rail station is less than 4 miles away if you want to avoid paying for parking. However, most residents opt to drive around 11 miles up Interstate 77 or about 8 miles up Selwyn Avenue. “Plan for 20 minutes minimum. Charlotte is no Atlanta, but it's getting pretty congested,” Emory says. At peak commute times, the drive can take up to 45 minutes. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is roughly 11 miles away, which can take 20 to 50 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

The Quail Hollow lifestyle includes golfing and shopping at SouthPark

“Quail Hollow is not merely an upscale neighborhood. It's a lifestyle,” Emory says. “While there's no walkability, fine dining, boutiques and SouthPark Mall are nearby.” Other amenities within the neighborhood and nearby include:

  • Quail Hollow Club, private country club with 18-hole golf course
  • The Little Sugar Creek Greenway, a favorite for runners and dog walkers
  • Park Road Park, features a large playground and athletic facilities
  • South Park Swim and Tennis Club, a private club with a summer swim team
  • James J. Harris Branch Family YMCA, provides summer camps and events

This is a friendly and community-oriented neighborhood

Buyers looking here will find a kind community of families, Uptown professionals and retirees. “People who relocate often say, ‘Gosh, everyone is so friendly,’” says Tina Hicks, a Realtor with Helen Adams Realty who’s lived in the neighborhood for two decades. “Different subdivisions have social events. Most are geared towards families with young kids, but you still feel a good neighborly sense.” When the PGA Tour returns to Quail Hollow Club each May, this normally quiet neighborhood hums with activity. “As neighbors, we all embrace it. We have to buckle down and get ready for lots of traffic, but it brings so much to the community: Kids set up lemonade stands. People with golf carts pick people up,” Hicks says.
