Revolution Park has suburban charm near some of Charlotte’s hot spots

Revolution Park is a suburban neighborhood adjacent to the major thoroughfares and entertainment districts in eastern Charlotte. Situated between Interstate 77 and West Boulevard, the community has been revitalizing along with the rest of Queen City. It is primarily composed of single-family homes and new construction. The community offers several green spaces, a golf course and is connected to the city's greenway. The area is also close to the multiple shops and restaurants on the South End Rail Trail.

Townhomes and revitalized homes dominate the neighborhood

Homes include New Traditions, Contemporary, Cottage styles, Cape Cods and ranch Styles. Townhomes are also available. “A lot of duets are going up right now, which are two townhomes side by side rather than a whole row. It gives that single-family feel but at a townhome price point,” says Vincent Popejoy, a Realtor with Costello Real Estate who sells in the area.
Prices in Revolution Park can vary, with cottage and ranch-style properties generally costing between $250,000 and $500,000. Newer contemporary homes and renovated inventory can cost between $650,000 and $1.3 million. Popejoy says that townhomes can range from $400,000 to $700,000. Popejoy also says that it's more expensive compared to some neighborhoods to the west, including Arbor Glen, but relatively more affordable than Southside Park or Wilmore.
Homes typically have smaller lots on winding streets, with mature oak trees accenting the lawns. Popejoy also says that it has attracted a “younger demographic” along with families and first-time homebuyers. “[Revolution Park] is growing. It’s a great time to get in early,” says Popejoy. “If everyone were able to see where South End was at 5 years ago, they’d be buying right now, and that is kind of the direction that Revolution Park is wanting to go because of all the demand that’s in South End and the surrounding areas of South End, it's kind of bleeding into the adjacent neighborhoods.”
