West Sugar Creek is a developing suburb
Charlotte’s West Sugar Creek sits just south of the northernmost section of Interstate 485, between an industrial corridor and the bustling University City. This developing neighborhood, densely wooded with oak trees, attracts homebuyers for its newer-built single-family homes and quick access to retail centers. “It’s an up-and-coming area. They’re working to bring the light rail up there,” says Tina Hicks, a lifelong resident of the Queen City and a Realtor with Helen Adams Realty. With the University of North Carolina at Charlotte less than 6 miles away, the neighborhood’s apartment complexes are popular with students.

From older ranch-style homes to brand-new builds
West Sugar Creek is a collection of subdivisions that were developed between the 1990s and today. A mix of ranch-style homes, two-story traditional, transitional and newly built properties rest along wide streets. Modestly landscaped lots slightly over 1/10 acre are framed by concrete sidewalks and driveways. Homes often feature attached garages, vinyl or brick siding and small covered front porches. “Most of the people buying older homes in West Sugar Creek tear them down and build new ones,” says Andrew Shearer, owner of Shearer Realty, founded in 2006. “In the last three years, home prices have gone up 20% to 30%.” Single-family homes typically cost between $250,000 and $500,000. Newly built homes, like those in the new Griffith Lakes subdivision, start at $500,000 and can top $750,000. To-be-built properties are listing upwards of $900,000. Townhouses are also available, listing from $250,000 for an older two-bedroom unit to $450,000 for a three-bedroom built in the last year. Potential buyers should note that homeowners associations control some subdivisions with monthly fees ranging from under $100 to more than $300.

A giant spirit rock greets students arriving at Ridge Road Middle.

The crime is pretty low in the city. Crime actually much that much of a problem. I think people would know what I mean because I don't look for problems.
