Why homebuyers want the Tryon Hills lifestyle

Just north of Uptown Charlotte, Tryon Hills is an established neighborhood with close access to the city's creative core. Many homes predate the 1970s, appealing to buyers who want the charm of an older home, but there’s a growing number of new builds that are enticing those who want something modern and turn-key. Residents are within walking distance of popular destinations such as Camp North End, where they can shop, dine and enjoy live music and events, and NoDa, Charlotte’s vibrant arts district. Parks and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway are close by, and residents can easily hop on a city bus or the light rail.

From renovated cottages to brand-new townhouses

Although Tryon Hills attracts investors, it also appeals to those looking for older homes with character. “More people are moving there, especially those who love old, renovated homes, because that’s what you’re going to get there,” says Jennifer Monroe, a Realtor with Compass. Most properties are from the early to mid-20th century. These bungalows, cottages and ranch-style homes are on the smaller side, averaging about 1,100 square feet. If you’re looking for more room, there are larger, newer Craftsman-inspired transitional homes along Catalina Avenue, as well as modern townhouses that average more than 2,000 square feet. Apartments make up roughly half of the property mix, so there are more renters than homeowners here.
