Yorkmount is an established neighborhood in southwest Charlotte that draws homebuyers who want a quieter atmosphere while still being close to the trendy Lower South End and Ayrsley. Its home prices are a major draw, with properties typically selling for less than the citywide median. Residents enjoy a suburban lifestyle, with big-box stores, sit-down restaurants and nightlife spots within a few minutes’ drive. Families appreciate having two large parks nearby, and commuters can quickly hop onto the highway to reach Uptown and other job hubs.
Single-family homes on roomy lots with mature trees
The housing stock in Yorkmount leans vintage. You’ll find small cottages, ranch-style homes and split-levels from the 1950s through the 1980s, as well as Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals from the 1990s and early 2000s. Many of these homes have been updated over the years. There’s also some new construction. Properties rest on spacious tree-shaded lots with enough room for gardens, backyard pools and sheds. If you’re looking for a lower-maintenance option, there are townhouses and condos primarily built after 2000.
A variety of home styles can be found throughout Yorkmount.

Home prices sit below the Charlotte median
If you’re looking in Yorkmount, you can likely find a home for less than Charlotte ’s median sale price, which hovers around $430,000. Here’s how prices break down by home type:
Detached homes start in the lower $100,000s and can reach the lower $400,000s.
Townhouses range from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s.
Condos rarely hit the market, with one recent sale in the lower $200,000s.

The LYNX Blue Line light rail offers car-free commutes to Uptown and the South End.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
