Close-in West Blvd. enclave with competitive home prices
A few short miles from buzzing Uptown, Revolution Park hitches its metaphorical wagon to Charlotte’s West Boulevard Corridor. The Queen City is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country, and close-in suburbs like Revolution Park are grabbing the attention of new homebuyers. While this neighborhood has been the focus of recent city revitalization efforts, it’s also close to bustling South End, one of Charlotte’s trendiest areas. With its excellent location and plentiful green space along Irwin Creek Greenway, the stage is set for Revolution Park to flourish.

Midcentury homes and fresh builds
Ranch-style homes, Cape Cods and Minimal Traditional houses sit side-by-side along Revolution Park’s tree-lined streets. “It’s a 1940s-built community of 1,000 square-foot homes, mostly bungalows. It’s a small community,” says Andrew Greenberg, a Realtor with eXp Realty. Many of these sturdy post-World War II-era structures could use some attention but have investment potential; about two-thirds of Revolution Park residents are renters. Homebuyers can get into this area for less than $300,000, a sought-after price point in suburbs so close to city activity. However, a growing number of renovated and newly built homes sell for well above the neighborhood average, pushing list prices above the $500,000 mark — and sometimes higher than $800,000. "Inventory is extremely low, and when properties are priced well, they sell very quickly," says Mark Weinburg, Realtor at Carolina Sky Real Estate Group.

Close to hip dining and shopping
Charlotte’s vibrant South End is recognized citywide as a destination for shopping and dining, and it’s just a stone’s throw away for Revolution Park residents. “South End was formerly a warehouse and industrial district that, in the past 10 or so years, has developed into a social district,” explains Greenberg. About a mile and a half down Remount Road is the Charlotte Rail Trail, an urban trail along the light rail that runs directly past hip breweries and Atherton Mill, a textile mill turned high-end shopping center. From there, there’s a diverse world of restaurants and entertainment to explore. Locals recommend taking a stroll past all the pubs and patios to discover Sycamore Brewing’s bustling beer garden, O-Ku’s finely plated sushi or Barcelona Wine Bar’s custom charcuterie board pairings. There’s also a Publix and a Lowe’s right along South Boulevard for convenient errand runs.
The popular South End neighborhood is just across interstate 77 from Revolution Park.
Sycamore Brewing is a Revolution Park favorite for craft beer.

A greenway connects residents to parks
The area’s namesake park, Revolution Park, cradles the residential streets along the eastern end of the neighborhood. Irwin Creek Greenway spans the neighborhood’s southern border, providing a forested walking route directly to the park. The park touts a refurbished turf football field funded by the NFL's Carolina Panthers. It's also where the Police Activities League’s youth football team plays; Charlotte’s PAL programs present a cheaper alternative than many other youth leagues. Some parents choose to send their kids to the sports camps at Revolution Park Sports Academy. This updated indoor facility also boasts a gym and boxing area, along with a golf pro shop where players can purchase equipment before hitting the fairways on the Dr. Charles L. Sifford Golf Course, a public, nine-hole layout.
You can enjoy a long walk on the 2.7 mile long Irwin Creek Greenway.

Changes coming to the West Boulevard corridor
West Boulevard runs along the northern edge of the neighborhood. This major artery has long been considered an underinvested area, but the intersection at Remount Road has recently been eyed for redevelopment by the city. Potential infrastructure upgrades range from better pedestrian lighting to murals and public art, while other initiatives aim to grow small businesses and curb crime. Revolution Park currently holds a CAP Index crime score of 6 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4. The area scores higher for violent crime, with a 9 out of 10 for homicide. The city-sponsored Alternatives to Violence program has been working to stem crime at the source by supporting at-risk youth — a strategy that provided tangible results within its first year of operation, according to a study by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
The Revolution Park neighborhood is starting to revitalize with trendy new signs.
