Residential community in southwest Charlotte

Ayrsley is a mixed-use development in a business- and industry-heavy section of southwest Charlotte. “It’s a work-play-live neighborhood,” says Realtor Koya Lamar of Coldwell Banker, a former Ayrsley resident. Despite being miles from central Charlotte, Ayrsley offers a residential experience with all the walkable convenience of city living. “It’s a really unique neighborhood because you’re a three-minute walk to restaurants and shops from your front door,” Lamar says. Locals can catch a movie, compete in a cornhole tournament or hit the gym without leaving the neighborhood. Meanwhile, several public schools and big-name retailers are within a 10-minute drive.

Entertainment at Piedmont Social House

Ayrsley business district is home to the neighborhood’s food and bar scene. Many establishments mix eating with entertainment, including Piedmont Social House, which Lamar describes as a “bowling alley-slash-pool hall.” Piedmont patrons can also play shuffleboard, cornhole, darts and ping pong, all while sharing appetizers and listening to live music. In her Ayrsley days, Lamar frequented Harry’s Grille & Tavern, an American gastropub. “It’s a place to get steak, salmon and some good cocktails,” she says, adding that she’d often order the chicken wings. The Ayrsley Grand Cinemas offers half-price tickets on Tuesdays. For retail and grocery shopping, Whitehall Commons is north of the community and Steele Creek Crossing is west, featuring major shops like Publix and Walmart.

They’re even doing an electric car charging station in the neighborhood.” Bungalows, ranch-style and two-story transitional homes sell for $210,000 to $385,000. These homes are around 900 to 1,700 square feet. Townhouses built between the early and late 2000s range in price from $216,000 to $460,000, with about 1,300 to 3,000 square feet.

Carnival rides at Carowinds

Carowinds amusement park is about a 10-minute drive. Here, tens of millions of annual visitors meet their favorite Peanuts characters, attend holiday celebrations like WinterFest and get their adrenaline pumping on coasters like the Dale Earnhardt-inspired Intimidator. “It used to be only a few rides,” Aguilar says. “Now they have a lot of new carnival rides and a water park, and they’re open pretty much year-round now. Before, they were only open for the summer.”

During the main season Carowinds is a huge attraction in the Arysley community.
