A West Charlotte community with quick commutes and new homes
West Charlotte’s up-and-coming Westerly Hills neighborhood is drawing eyes with new homes and competitive price tags. The established neighborhood, leafy-green with old-growth pines and hardwoods, is surrounded by bustling main roads and shopping centers. However, its residential heart is fairly quiet when planes aren’t soaring overhead. Commuter-friendly Westerly Hills is minutes away from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, plus drivers can skip the highway when headed to Uptown Charlotte. Home to a park and two schools, Westerly Hills is family-friendly, attracting first-time homebuyers, renters and investors alike.
Tall oaks and other hardwoods shade grassy lawns.
Classic brick homes are common.
Uptown Charlotte is only minutes away from Westerly Hills.

Median price is around $265,000, and fixer-uppers list under $200,000
Westerly Hills has a median price of roughly $265,000, down just over 10% from last year, so it is not surprising that homes are selling quickly. Fixer-uppers sell for under $200,000, while move-in-ready houses range from around $200,000 to the mid-$400,000s. Homes here are mostly midcentury cottages and ranch-style houses on narrow, wooded lots. Many are brick, sitting along gently sloping, sidewalk-lined streets with paved driveways. “A lot of people also like that area for the Airbnb market,” says local Kathryn Cook-Crespo, broker and Realtor with Nestlewood Realty. “Any house in that area is a great investment because it’s so close to the airport. You’ll see a lot of crash pads for flight attendants, and you have the freedom to do that because there’s no homeowners association.” Newer houses are also available, though rarer on the market. These single- and two-story Minimal Traditional houses can be found on Bromwich Road and Bullard Street. Unlike the 1950s and ‘60s charmers south of this subdivision, they’re HOA-managed.
Brick ranch style homes are the most common type of home around Westerly Hills.
Many older homes have been well maintained and updated in Westerly Hills.

Townhouses begin around $250,000
Townhouses are also in the neighborhood, and more are on the way. These two- and three-story multifamily units include early 2000s, Minimal Traditional, vinyl-sided models, as well as pre-construction and newly built townhouses with sleek, modern designs. Prices range from the mid-$200,000s to the high-$300,000s. Some sections, such as the units on Hager Drive, are under HOA management, dues covering water, trash, lawn maintenance and common area maintenance. There are a few HOA-free duplex-style townhomes, too, although they are rarely listed.

Shopping, dining and outdoor recreation are in the neighborhood
Commercial areas with convenient options for shopping and dining are on the edges of the neighborhood. For grocery runs: Food Lion is on the north side, Walmart Supercenter is by the south side and Compare Foods, Aldi and Family Dollar are within a 2-mile drive. Restaurants are aplenty as well. Good eats in the neighborhood include Carolina Family Restaurant, a Charlotte staple since the 1970s, and Yard Cooked Dishes, serving Jamaican entrees like oxtail and jerk chicken. More west-side favorites are within a short drive, including Noble Smoke, just over 2 miles away. “Noble Smoke is hands-down the best barbecue in the city,” Griesinger says. “If you’re thinking ‘I want good barbecue,’ it’s exactly what you have in mind, from the smells to the aesthetic to the menu, it nails it.”
Westerly Hills Park is a neighborhood hangout with playgrounds and a basketball half-court. Another playground and more basketball courts are within 3 miles at Camp Greene Park in the @Ashley Park neighborhood next door. The community is also home to Bryant Park, a historic, creekside green space where stone benches, deeply set into a grassy hillside, overlook a Great Depression era ballfield.
Immediate I-85 access and a 5-mile drive to Uptown Charlotte
Griesinger says Westerly Hills, despite its west-side location, is conveniently located right off of Interstate 85. Drivers can take the local Mulberry Church Road to Billy Graham Parkway, a direct connection to I-85. Other commute conveniences include:
U.S. Route 74, known locally as Wilkinson Boulevard, runs to Uptown Charlotte, about 5 miles away.
