From renovated midcentury homes to brand-new builds and condos

Windsor Park’s broad brick ranch-style homes and split-levels stretch over tidy lawns. Many of these 1950s- and 1960s-era homes have undergone extensive renovations by new buyers. You’ll also find New Traditionals and new custom builds, as well as condo units from the 1980s. Single-family homes start in the lower $200,000s and can reach the lower $700,000s. Condos sell in the $100,000s. The median sale price here is around $410,000, slightly below Charlotte's, which hovers around $430,000, and much lower than the median in Plaza Midwood, which is about $950,000.

Where residents go for sports, hiking and playdates

Kilborne Park occupies nearly 50 acres of the neighborhood with a 19-hole disc golf course, a baseball field and a cricket ground. Families enjoy the playground and picnic shelter, and one of the park’s unique features is its community-built skatepark, constructed on repurposed tennis courts.

Dining, shopping and nightlife are all close to home

Windsor Park's residents can walk or bike to an array of local restaurants, many of which are on Central Avenue and North Sharon Amity Road. “Location is the biggest asset for this neighborhood,” says Michelle Pentecost, Realtor with Pollinator Properties. “There are not many places in Charlotte where you have access to so many great restaurants, but also Uptown, Plaza Midwood and NoDa.” You can dine at these popular spots:

  • Landmark Diner, a family-run eatery serving Greek and American fare
  • Portofino’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, a local chain known for its New York-style pies
  • Lang Van, a beloved staple for Vietnamese cuisine, especially pho
  • Tacos El Nevado, a taqueria focused on Oaxacan-style street tacos
Pentecost loves the pecan chicken and shrimp and grits from Letty’s Kitchen, a food truck parked at Newell Hickory Square. “They have a little touch of Cajun, but for the most part, they’re known for Southern comfort food,” she says. There are plenty of places to shop, too. Food Lion and Ross Dress for Less anchor Eastway Square. You can browse used books at Book Buyers in Eastway Crossing, or drive to Cotswold, where familiar brands from Publix to Marshalls and World Market fill Cotswold Village. Walmart Supercenter is a few minutes away in Oakhurst. For nightlife and entertainment, Plaza Midwood is known for its bar-hopping and live music venues, and NoDa, the city’s arts district, has art galleries and theaters.

Be sure to stop by Portofino's for a New York-style slice.
