Ashley Park is a blossoming community on Charlotte's westside

As Charlotte sees its population continually rising, so too does the neighborhood of Ashley Park. Just 2 miles west of Uptown, Ashley Park features many of the amenities one can expect living around a major metropolitan area. Featuring a diverse housing market with acclaimed eateries and convenient public parks close by, Ashley Park's locals enjoy a smorgasbord of nifty perks just a short drive from the action of the Queen City. "You get the vibe of the city without having to be directly in the hubbub of the city. It's a little bit of a calmer area, but there are still things to do," says local Meagan Pettiford, who works in the neighborhood and has lived in the area since 2015. "They've really been building this area up, and there are a bunch of new areas coming."

Ashley Park offers newer builds alongside newer constructions and apartment complexes

Ashley Park offers a unique blend of established homes intertwined with newly constructed properties on the east side. Small cottages and ranch-styles dominate the area west of Berryhill Road, though newer Craftsman-styles and townhouses have also taken root in the Bryant Park subdivision. Luxury apartment complexes are present as well along West Morehead Street. Smaller, older homes tend to price between $100,000 and $300,000, while newer properties can range from $450,000 to $700,000. However, the rate of burglaries in Ashley Park is doubled with crime in the neighborhood being nearly twice the national average, according to the CAP index.

Bar-B-Q King has been a neighborhood favorite since 1959

Though primarily residential at its core, Ashley Park is transforming into a legitimate destination for Charlotte foodies. "I think Ashley Park has become more of a food scene area versus the bars and breweries that Charlotte has focused on," Pettiford says. "There's a lot of food trucks in Ashley Park, a lot of hidden gems and there's also some mom-and-pop shops."One of those mom-and-pops is Bar-B-Q King on Wilkinson Boulevard. Featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, the family-run drive-in eatery has been serving the Charlotte area since 1959. Pinky's Westside Grill is another community favorite. Also featured on Guy Fieri's Food Network program, Pinky's offers a wide range of burgers and hot dogs along with a robust drink menu. Meanwhile, Legion Brewing's West Morehead location is revered for its craft beers and wood-fired pizzas, and the nearby Lucky Dog Bark is a staple for residents looking to grab a drink as their dogs get out the zoomies. For groceries, locals often stop by Walmart Supercenter, neighboring smaller retailers and chain restaurants. Additional shopping options can be found just north of the neighborhood at Freedom Village Shopping Center.

B.B.Q. King is one of the oldest restaurants in Ashley Park serving popular dishes to locals.

The CATS bus comes in handy with the city a short trip away

Ashley Park isn't walkable, but does offer solid access to major roads. Just 2 miles outside of Uptown, residents can get to the city within 10 minutes by heading east on Wilkinson Boulevard. Charlotte Douglas International Airport also sits just 4 miles west, making for easy trips to the terminal. Ashley Park isn't known for its public transportation, but the CATS bus does come in handy, featuring stops along West Morehead Street, Wilkinson Boulevard and Ashley Road.
