Modern urban living in Charlotte's vibrant Third Ward
First Row Condominiums, completed in 2007, stands as a contemporary residential landmark in Charlotte's Third Ward. This four-story building houses 83 condominium units, offering residents a prime location in one of the city's most dynamic neighborhoods. Situated on a leafy, tree-lined street, First Row provides a perfect blend of urban convenience and residential tranquility. The building's design incorporates modern aesthetics with functional living spaces, catering to those seeking a comfortable yet stylish home in the heart of Charlotte's burgeoning Center City.
Versatile layouts with upscale finishes and city views
First Row Condominiums offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom homes. The one-bedroom layouts span from 519 to 808 square feet, providing efficient living spaces with sale prices ranging from $286,800 to $300,000. Two-bedroom units, which make up the majority of the offerings, vary from 767 to 1,300 square feet and feature one to two full bathrooms plus up to two half baths. These larger units are priced between $265,000 and $450,000, offering excellent value for the location.
For those requiring more space, the three-bedroom units are truly impressive, measuring approximately 1,800 square feet with three and a half to four bathrooms. These premium residences are perfect for families or those who desire extra room for a home office or guest accommodations.
Throughout the building, residents enjoy high-quality finishes and thoughtful design elements. Many units boast hardwood floors, quartz or granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Large windows flood the living spaces with natural light, while private balconies offer a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Some units feature corner locations with wraparound windows, providing panoramic views of the Charlotte skyline or Bank of America Stadium.
Bathrooms in First Row are designed for comfort and style, with many units featuring dual vanities, glass-enclosed showers, and elegant tile work. Walk-in closets in the bedrooms provide ample storage space. The open-concept layouts in many units create a seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen areas, ideal for entertaining or everyday living.
For added convenience, all units come with in-unit laundry facilities, and many include pantry spaces for additional storage. Some of the more recently updated units showcase modern touches such as subway tile backsplashes, pendant lighting, and smart home features, keeping First Row Condominiums at the forefront of urban living in Charlotte.
Community-focused amenities for an active urban lifestyle
First Row Condominiums offers a selection of amenities designed to enhance the urban living experience. The heart of the community is the beautifully landscaped courtyard, a lush oasis in the midst of the city. This central green space features comfortable seating areas, perfect for relaxing or socializing with neighbors. For those who enjoy outdoor cooking, the courtyard is equipped with gas grills, making it easy to host barbecues or enjoy al fresco dining.
Security is a top priority at First Row, with the building featuring secure entry systems and key fob access to ensure residents' peace of mind. The gated parking garage provides assigned spaces for each unit, protecting vehicles from the elements and offering convenient access to the building via elevator.
For those who appreciate the outdoors, First Row's location adjacent to Frazier Park is a significant perk. While not part of the building's amenities, this nearby green space effectively serves as an extension of the property, offering walking trails, sports facilities, and a dog park just steps from residents' front doors.
Storage solutions are another thoughtful addition to First Row's offerings. Many units come with access to private storage units, a valuable feature in urban living where space can be at a premium. These secure storage areas provide residents with extra room for seasonal items, sports equipment, or other belongings that might not fit comfortably in their living spaces.
While First Row may not offer extensive on-site fitness facilities or swimming pools, its location and thoughtful amenities cater well to an active, urban lifestyle. The emphasis on outdoor spaces, security, and community areas reflects a focus on creating a comfortable and connected living environment in the heart of Charlotte's Third Ward.

Light rail enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System) stations. The Morehead station, about a mile away, connects to the Charlotte Trolley line. For more extensive rail travel, the Stonewall station, also about a mile from First Row, serves both the Charlotte Trolley and the LYNX Blue Line, providing quick access to other parts of the city, including popular areas like South End and NoDa.
