A thoroughfare packed with amenities, employers and accessible homes
Car dealerships, shopping centers and industry coalesce to form Sterling’s South Boulevard, a thriving thoroughfare running from the heart of Uptown Charlotte down to the city’s booming suburbs. For some residents, the commute to work can be as easy as crossing Interstate 485 into nearby industrial parks or hopping on the Lynx Blue Line from the neighborhood’s two stations. And compared to South Charlotte’s other neighborhoods, price points are on the lower side, making a residence of one’s own accessible to many prospective homebuyers, but maybe not for long. “With South Boulevard development expanding farther away from the city, it's a really smart place to buy,” says Lindsay Patton, Realtor with The Redbud Group who has sold homes in Charlotte for almost 2 years.

A variety of living options
Sterling’s residential sections are sandwiched between businesses, undeveloped spaces and the interstate. Garages are uncommon, with some residents opting to park under carports instead. Sections of Longleaf Drive score nearly 100 on the Soundscore, meaning residents get levels of quietude that compare to the countryside and isolated outdoor spaces. Streets are lined with ranch-style, Colonial Revival and Cape Cod homes. Most were built in the 1970s and ‘80s, but New Traditional homes have been coming in consistently since the middle of the 2010s. The price for a detached home is usually between $230,000 and $330,000. There’s also a cluster of townhouses, condos and apartments on Sterling’s northeast end. Condo units sell in the low $200,000s. Townhouses usually fall between $250,000 and $300,000, but units with 2,000 square feet of space can surpass $400,000. The average home value in Sterling comes out to $275,000, which is almost half of Charlotte’s.

Convenient to the interstate and the light rail
Interstate 485 is within a 2-mile drive of most homes. Residents are also right by two Lynx Blue Line light rail stations, each equipped with parking lots. Uptown Charlotte is about 10 miles north, and depending on traffic and one’s destination, locals might find the rail faster. Atrium Health Pineville hospital is just one exit down I-485. Sterling isn’t short on employers either, with sprawling industrial parks just across the interstate. “Westinghouse Boulevard has a lot of industrial facilities there, like granite fabrication places,” says Beth Belcher. “It’s got any type of industrial facility that you can think of.”
The popular LYNX rail runs through the Sterling neighborhood of Charlotte.

Shopping, dining and a ton of cars
Carolina Pavilion is stocked with retailers such as Big Lots and Ross Dress for Less and a few fast-food restaurants. Over a dozen car dealers including Ford, Toyota and Nissan are up and down South Boulevard. For quick grocery runs, residents can head to the Harris Teeter east down Gleneagles Road or visit the Food Lion at Pineville Towne Market. Tortas, sopes, tacos and other Mexican and Central American favorites are on the menu at Costa Del Sol, with churros and flan for dessert. At Middle James Brewing, residents can enjoy craft beers, pub fare during happy hour and pop-up markets, trivia and live music on select dates.
