Suburban living between Uptown and Matthews

There might not be any swamps in Marshbrooke, but the second half of this Charlotte suburb’s name holds true. McAlpine Creek marks the northern boundary of the neighborhood, linking up with the Campbell Creek Greenway, which ushers residents a mile south to the sprawling McAlpine Creek Park. The park boasts a fishing pond, a dog park and even more trails. Some residents might very well prefer this kind of a green space to a swamp anyway. Convenience is another great part of Marshbrooke’s appeal, and this neighborhood is situated right between Charlotte’s city center and the booming suburb of Matthews, and along a highway that connects to both no less. “It’s got close proximity to downtown Matthews and Uptown Charlotte,” says DJ Duncan, who has worked as real estate agent with Wilkinson ERA for 6 years. “It’s also got access to Independence Highway and I-84, and pretty good schools.” Butler High is one of them, which Niche ranks as the 10th best and 3rd most diverse public high school in Mecklenburg County.

Established homes and newer constructions

Homes range from established Colonial Revival and ranch-style dwellings from the 1980s and ‘90s to New Traditional builds constructed during the last 20 years. Streets tend to be wide enough to fit parked cars on both sides, and well-maintained sidewalks are typical of the neighborhood. Mature trees tower over homes and provide plenty of shade during the warmer months. This neighborhood gives residents plenty of elbow room, with lots usually falling between 5,000 square feet and half an acre. Detached homes tend to start around $315,000, though homes in need of a little love can go as low as $250,000. $425,000 is about as high as prices go. Two-and-three-bedroom townhouses also appear on the market for between $250,000 and $325,000.

Getting outside in Marshbrooke

The 18-hole disc golf course is one of Idlewild Road Park’s highlights, but the park is also known for its extensive network of trails and dual ballfields. The paved Campbell Creek Greenway spans 6 miles, hugging its namesake estuary. The greenway passes through the western corner of Marshbrooke and leads to McAlpine Creek Park.

Shopping, dining and plenty of singing

Independence Square is a conveniently located shopping center which features a Super G Mart international supermarket along with retailers and restaurants. When it comes to boil bagged seafood, King Crab Shake Shake Seafood really does take the crown, offerings including fried calamari and flounder fillets. If customers alert staff that it’s their birthday, they’ll get to hear “Happy Birthday” by Stevie Wonder over the speakers and be served a special birthday cupcake. Residents can also get the royal treatment at Queen’s Soul Food, too. This cafeteria-style restaurant specializes in comfort dishes such as oxtail and curry chicken. Residents can alternatively visit the Mintworth Commons shopping center on the east side of the neighborhood, which offers a Harris Teeter. Beyond Italian staples like pasta and tiramisu, on select nights, patrons of Angela’s Pizza Restaurant can enjoy wine tastings, karaoke and the musical performances of a Frank Sinatra impersonator.

Having fun in Matthews

“Downtown Matthews continue to attract more restaurants and bars and holds frequent community events and festivals that provide entertainment for the whole family,” says Lindsay Patton, Realtor with The Redbud Group who has sold homes in The Queen City for almost 2 years. Events include Matthews Alive, which features numerous vendors and live performances from bands and clowns, and Egg My Yard, where the Easter Bunny secretly hides eggs around kids’ yards for them to find.
