Myers Park Homes for Sale | Myers Park Historic Houses

Myers Park homes are as special as they were in the beginning – a hundred years ago.

Developed to draw the city’s wealthiest citizens to the edge of town, it succeeded to the extent that some observers called Myers Park “the finest unified suburban development south of Baltimore." The innovative street layout was created to discourage through-traffic and to ensure the residents’ privacy. Some streets were grand boulevards while others were narrow streets to “merely lead to the home."

The classic Myers Park homes –

with heavy influence of Colonial Revival, Bungalow & Tudor Revival - have created a streetscape for all to admire. Most of the homes have been updated several times and many have grown with additions & alterations. Over the past decade a wave of “tear downs” has made way for newer and bigger homes…best described as traditional, upscale & expensive.

Given the high regard for Myers Park and Myers Park homes, the demand has often exceeded the supply – resulting in high prices and low inventory. It has always been home to successful people of all stripes.

Myers Park Real Estate

Myers Park Homes While Myers Park real estate was originally on the outer edge of the city, today its location is better described as on the inner edge of the Charlotte Downtown. In fact some of Charlotte’s recent urban development – commercial and residential – borders Myers Park. It is five minutes from Downtown Charlotte and adjacent to some of the city’s dining on East Boulevard and Providence Road. Also adjacent are the region’s largest hospitals – Carolinas Medical Center and Presbyterian Hospital – which have literally grown into Myers Park.

Important components of Myers Park include Freedom Park, Queens College and several churches & a city library.

Before Charlotte’s growth period and during a period of neglect, a 1960 zoning plan rezoned a large part of Myers Park real estate and adjoining suburbs for multifamily high-rise, office and commercial development, as many of the first generation homeowners were passing on. However, this was halted in the mid-seventies, leaving Myers Park with the remnants of multi-family and commercial properties. Today the residents fiercely fight all development projects which might in any way affect the residential character of the community.

Myers Park condos and townhomes...

...are some of the city’s most prized and include a mix of high rise, mid-rise and townhomes, with 18 units over $1M and a high of $2.495M in mid 2010. At the same time single-family homes range to a high of $4.995 …with 54 homes listed for $1M or more.

Myers Park Schools

Public Myers Park schools are considered some of the best in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS). All schools are fairly new with a motivated staff…constantly challenged by active & concerned parents.

The elementary schools consist of:

Eastover Elementary
Dilworth Elementary

All of the Myers Park elementary schools combine into Alexander Graham Middle School. The high school for the area is Myers Park High School.
