Downtown Concord, a convenient neighborhood
Homebuyers choose Downtown Concord because the neighborhood allows walkable access to retail, local dining and greenspaces. Many homebuyers commute to nearby Charlotte. “Some people prefer Concord because it isn’t as congested as Charlotte, and home prices are more affordable,” says Realtor Albert Johnson, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Keller Williams Realty. The neighborhood offers a wide selection of turn-of-the-century houses with grassy lawns large enough for playing catch or hosting cookouts. The area also has moderately to highly rated public schools. “There are more new construction opportunities in Concord than in Charlotte,” Johnson says. “There are a lot of new businesses, houses and apartments.” In recent years, Concord has invested $13.2 million into streetscape improvements, prompting more than $165 million in private investments, including roughly $84 million from the Lansing Melbourne Group to develop luxury apartment buildings.
