Luxury and seclusion in South Charlotte
Wessex Square combines a sense of seclusion and luxury with proximity to downtown Charlotte. While the neighborhood is 11 miles away from the vibrant city centers, it is surrounded by five different country clubs, granting residents ample access to 18-hole courses, community clubhouses, and swimming pools. The variety of recreation opportunities is matched by the varied and distinct housing styles found along heavily forested streets. Charlotte is among the fastest-growing cities in the U.S., and Wessex Square has grown with it. “As a South Charlotte resident, I have had the pleasure of watching this popular area expand,” says Realtor Lindsay Patton at the Redbud Group.

One drive down Wessex Square’s forested, sidewalk-lined streets, and it’s easy to see why the neighborhood has become so desirable to prospective homebuyers.

Charlotte is a great city- I believe that there is a large gap between the conservative and liberal citizens and that these gaps create political tension in the city. If we could create a more moderate local government, many issues between these gaps of citizens could be resolved.

Not too many people use public transportation. Bike riders are a pain to deal with
