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.
