Northwest Hickory offers suburban charm and access to local attraction
Northwest Hickory is a conveniently located neighborhood offering an alluring combination of suburban life with access to the city’s top attractions. The community’s assortment of single-family homes is minutes from popular outdoor attractions, including Lake Hickory to its north and an active downtown district to its south. “I think the best thing [about Northwest Hickory] is that it's easily accessible,” says Hank Eimer, the broker-in-charge at Coldwell Banker Boyd & Hassell, who has sold in the area. “You'll see a lot of people riding bikes and exercising, and so it's very pedestrian-friendly, and I think a lot of people are attracted to that.”
Northwest Hickory offers plenty of architecture with low HOA activity
Home styles here include ranch, bungalows, Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals. Prices range from $250,000 to $700,000 based on a number of factors, including age, condition and size. Some prices climb above $1 million. Properties are typically on winding streets, with tall oak trees accenting lawns with larger lot sizes. Some have inground pools. “There are a lot of great places in Northwest (Hickory). In this area, there is certainly some beautiful architecture,” says Eimer.
Eimer says that the neighborhood, which has few HOAs, has attracted a mix of families, retirees and commuters. “It's attractive to everybody because the proximity to anything you might need is within your fingertips,” says Eimer. Flood Maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency show there is a slight risk of flooding by local creeks. Snow and severe storms can also be factors in Hickory.
Students are zoned for several elementary and middle schools
Students can start at either Oakwood Elementary School, rated A-minus on Niche, or Viewmont Elementary, graded C-plus. They can continue at either B-ranked Grandview Middle School or Northview Middle School, which has a B-plus. Hickory High School earns a B and offers career courses in entrepreneurship and finance. Lenior Rhyne University is southeast of the neighborhood and offers majors in nursing and finance.

The neighborhood does not have any public transit connections, but Greenway Public Transportation has bus stops along 2nd St. The entrance to Interstate 40 is nearby. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is 53 miles away. Frye Regional Medical Center is 1 mile south of the neighborhood.
Green spaces and local attractions are just outside the neighborhood
Local parks include the Glenn C. Hilton Jr. Memorial Park, which features area for disc golf and horseshoes. Geitner Park has biking trails, a fishing pier and a riverwalk along 4,200-acre Lake Hickory. Hickory City Park offers tennis courts and hiking trails. L.P. Frans Stadium is nearby and is the home of the Hickory Crawdads, a Single-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The Hickory Aviation Museum displays multiple historical airplanes. Events in Downtown Hickory include the year-round farmers market and the Fall Art Crawl.
Shopping and dining along 2nd Street and North Center Street
Dining locations are outside of the neighborhood, mainly along 2nd Street and North Center Street, and include a mix of chains and local spots. Taj Indian Cuisine specializes in dishes from northern India. Rule Prime and Pasta serves pasta dishes, pizzas and steaks. Backstreets Bar and Grill, open since 1996, offers sandwiches, burgers and salads. Grocery stores, including Lowe's Foods, are also along 2nd Avenue, while Publix is farther north on North Center Street. Big-box retailers are further to the southeast on Lenior-Rhyne Boulevard.
