Close to the action in NoDa, but away from the traffic
Shannon Park is a midcentury neighborhood situated in Charlotte’s northeastern corner. Kirstan Hamilton, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker who has lived in Charlotte for over 30 years, recently sold a home in the neighborhood to a young couple and says, “They wanted to be where the action was, but not too close to the action and traffic.” While it used to be considered more of a neighborhood for families, that’s not the case anymore, according to Hamilton. "The neighborhood has a lot of diversity,” she says. “Older people and younger people from all walks of life.” Location plays a big role in the neighborhood’s newfound demographic. It's within reach of the NoDa arts district and the desirable Plaza Midwood areas. This residential community is surrounded by busy thoroughfares, The Plaza and Eastway Drive, which strengthen its connectivity to westward amenity-rich regions.
Shannon Park residents enjoy the quiet neighborhood just blocks away from the energetic NoDA.
The nearby NoDa district offers fun experiences like the Neighborhood Theatre near Shannon Park.

High quality homes on a quarter of an acre
“The homes there have great bones,” Hamilton says. “They’re not anything that was just popped up in a cookie cutter neighborhood.” Elongated brick ranch-style houses mingle with angular split-levels and new construction on sidewalk-lined streets. “There’s great spacing between the homes,” Hamilton says. “You’re not on a tenth of an acre, you’re more likely to get a quarter acre of land there, and that makes a difference.” Prices range from $230,000 to $640,000. In the northwest corner of the neighborhood, two- to three-bedroom townhouses and condos are priced from $179,000 to $310,000. About 53% of residents are renters. “For Charlotte and where it’s located, it’s very affordable,” Hamilton says.
Madison Park's CAP Index crime score is 7 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4. The Shannon Park Neighborhood Association hosts a yearly National Night Out where residents can meet with local law enforcement and city officials in a casual setting that includes music, games and food.

For a quick bite, there's Crispy Banh Mi and La Cabana Restaurant. Local markets are sprinkled throughout town for weekly grocery shopping, many stocking imported specialties.

Traveling on Charlotte's major streets
“You have three major Charlotte streets right there: The Plaza, Shamrock and Eastway,” Hamilton says. “You can head to the University of North Carolina Charlotte or Uptown. You really are in the center of it all.” The trip to Charlotte's city center will take around 6 miles via The Plaza Road. Shannon Park Residents are mostly car-dependent, though CATS bus stops are on the edges of the neighborhood. “It’s got walkability, but not to Plaza Midwood or NoDa,” Hamilton says. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is a 28-mile drive.
