Big lots, big savings and big things to do
Though Harbor House does provide some homeowners with private access to the Catawba River, for most residents, the neighborhood’s main appeal is in the second half of its name. Home prices here are low for The Queen City, though it may not remain that way for long. “Getting a home out there is a good way to save. Everything that’s 30 feet from Charlotte is going to grow in value,” says Trevor Hall, Realtor with Helen Adams Realty who has been selling homes for 5 years. Location is doing part of the work here. Uptown and Charlotte Douglas International Airport are close enough that commuting is no trouble, but far away enough that the action isn’t spilling into their enclave. And for recreation, the US National Whitewater Center is packed with adventures from rafting to rope climbing. Susan Roche, a broker with Coldwell Banker, shares Hall’s optimism about the neighborhood’s future, provided buyers continue to pour their love and passion into their homes. Roche, who has been selling homes across Metrolina for 20 years, says, “It’s that little nook of Charlotte that’s still quiet, that still has big lots, and with a little elbow grease and split equity, you could make a house into a modern family home.”
Harbor House residents have some of the most impressive riverfront homes in the area.
Locally grown fresh produce is one the main staples of the Belmont Farmers Market.

Riverfront manors, new constructions and manufactured homes
Most of Harbor House’s residences can be found west of Interstate 485, while the eastern side is primarily made up of industrial parks and airport-related amenities. Sidewalks are had to come by, but as streets are residential, they usually attract minimal traffic. Old growth trees are common, particularly toward the Catawba River, where houses blend in seamlessly with their arboreal surroundings. The majority of homes follow ranch-style designs and date back to the 1960s and ‘70s. They usually go for between $275,000 and $400,000. Cape Cod homes and cottages occasionally pop on the market too. Riverfront homes are hard to come by, and their prices climb into the $600,000s, with a few outliers fetching over $1 million. Several manufactured home communities can also be found throughout Harbor House.
There are plenty of large homes with extra space for families in Harbor House.
There are many newer homes available all throughout the Harbor House area.

School improvements and a nearby college
Berryhill School serves as an elementary and middle school for some of Harbor House’s young learners. In 2023, voters approved a Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools bond request. A portion of these funds will go to relocating and replacing Berryhill School with a new campus and redeveloping the old site into a park. Students can wrap up at West Mecklenburg High, which provides students in need with Chromebooks and internet hotspots. Both schools receive overall C ratings from Niche. Belmont Abbey College, a Catholic liberal arts school, is a short drive across the Catawba River.
Berryhill School welcomes young learners grades K-8.
White Water Middle School is a beautiful, well regarded school for Harbor House students.

A comfortable distance from the airport and Uptown
Residents have easy access to Interstate 85, an east-west highway, and Interstate 485, which loops around The Queen City. Uptown is about 11 miles away by car, while Charlotte Douglas International Airport is roughly a 5-mile drive. Speaking of a house he sold in the area, Hall says, “There was a little bit of noise from the airport there. It’s not close enough to be right in the path of landing airplanes, but you can hear them from the sky.” This goes for most homes. The way the landing strips are positioned, it’s mainly the industrial park that bears the brunt of the airport’s noise. Charlotte Area Transit System bus line 35 takes passengers to Uptown, Amazon Distribution Centers and other employers, following Wilkinson Boulevard.
I-85 connects Harbor House residents to Charlotte to the East and Belmont to the West.
Harbor House locals are still only minutes from Uptown Charlotte.

Restaurants across the Catawba River and a local dive bar
Neighboring Belmont is overflowing with a wealth of local restaurants. Nellie’s Southern Kitchen serves up biscuits, chicken and dumplings, shrimp and grits, and other mouthwatering comfort food dishes. The restaurant takes its name (and many of its recipes) from Nellie Jonas, great-grandmother of the Jonas Brothers. It’s only fitting that bands should be frequently invited to perform live at this family-owned eatery. On Harbor House’s side of the river, locals visit Tony’s Bar, a beloved neighborhood dive and biker bar that’s been running for nearly 40 years strong. For quick grocery runs, locals stop by Nichols Food Store at the Marathon gas station. Other stores just a few miles from Harbor House include Aldi, Family Dollar and Food Lion.

An outdoor center for thrill-seekers
The US National Whitewater Center is an adventurer’s paradise. “That’s an awesome place to visit,” Hall says. “You can do whitewater rafting on a manmade course and mountain biking and extensive high ropes courses. They also have a mobile ice rink that they put out during winter.” A 70-acre off-leash dog park was recently added to the center. Iswa Nature Preserve offers miles of trails for hikers to explore, along with riverbanks for fishing. On the other side of the Catawba is Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park, fitted with a modern, nature-themed playground and a launch for canoes and kayaks.
