Sedgefield, a convenient Charlotte neighborhood
Sedgefield offers homebuyers access to retail, dining and world-class entertainment near the heart of Charlotte. The oak-shaded suburb attracts homebuyers focused on settling down and building the next stage of their lives. But the neighborhood is changing as well. “Many Sedgefield houses are pretty old and being torn down. In their place, people are building larger homes,” says Realtor Preston Nowaski, who has sold houses in the neighborhood with Ashley Scott, LLC. Many homebuyers commute 3 miles northeast to Uptown Charlotte via South Boulevard. The neighborhood provides walkable access to public greenspaces where residents can play sports, walk their pets and take their children to playgrounds. The local schools have moderate to high ratings.

Single-family homes and townhouses
“The homes are much less expensive than nearby communities like Myers Park, but Sedgefield residents have access to the same city amenities,” Nowaski says. Assessors value two-bedroom 1960s brick ranch-style homes at between $260,000 and $1 million. Three-bedroom townhomes built within the last five years sell for between $840,000 and $950,000. Homebuyers can purchase a three-bedroom 1950s single-story craftsman-style home for between $850,000 and $1.2 million. “The average home stays on the market for around a month,” Nowaski says. The price point has risen sharply in the past few years, so most buyers are upgrading rather than purchasing their first home.” Five-bedroom newly built farmhouse-style homes are valued between $1.6 million and $1.8 million. “People like investing in the neighborhood because the general area is very nice. The community is next to Dilworth, one of Charlotte’s top historic neighborhoods,” Nowaski says.
