Neighborhood based on legendary story
This south Charlotte midcentury neighborhood is named after the stomping grounds of England's infamous outlaw and his merry men. And it's not surprising that Sherwood Forest's natural landscapes are reminiscent of England's ancient woodlands. "The whole region has strong ties to the English countryside," says Realtor Giles Barker, from Dwell Nova and a UK native, who has been representing the Charlotte area for 12 years. Thickets of mature oaks and dense vegetation stretch to great heights and unfurl over Sherwood Forest's winding streets, with sidewalks accompanying its main roads. Sherwood Forest locals have a strong sense of serenity in this picturesque town, unusual for locations with so much access to some of Charlotte's most populous destinations. "You truly feel like you're in an English countryside as you travel through this old-fashioned neighborhood," Barker says.

Homes span from midcentury to today
This mid-century neighborhood's architecture is predominantly ranch-style and split-level, perched on scenic hilltops and settling within valleys of uneven terrain. The community also features new construction houses and townhomes. "The area has a strong market with a massive pool of buyers and a shortage of inventory," Barker says. Sherwood Forest home values range from $496,000 to $2.7 million. For $550,000, a buyer can get a 4-bedroom townhome. A 5-bedroom house on 1/2 acre costs $2.5 million. "If priced at market value, homes here sell within the first couple of days," he says. Sprawling lot sizes start at ¼ acre, large enough for a pool or a play area.

Shopping and dining just a 2-mile drive
Cotswold Village is less than a 2-mile drive on local streets and features 30 plus retailers, including a Teeter Harris for grocery shopping. This center's major chain stores and restaurants include Marshalls, Cost Plus World Market, Crumbl Cookies, Starbucks and Panera. "The Strawberry Hill strip has been totally rejuvenated with great restaurants and is very accessible to Sherwood Forest locals," says Barker, who recommends visiting Aqua e Vino, which serves authentic Italian cuisine. Another local favorite is Eddies Place, just west of Cotswold Village. The casual neighborhood mainstay has been serving New Orleans-inspired cuisine for over 20 years. Sherwood Forest is about a 6-mile drive to Charlotte's arts district, historic district and the vibrant Plaza Midwood area.

Easy access to Uptown Charlotte
An 8-mile drive on Interstate 74 takes residents to Uptown Charlotte, though many locals opt for a ride along Randolph Road to bypass highway traffic. The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) operates local and express bus routes with stops running along Sharon Amity and Randolph Roads.
