Suburban living not far from Uptown Charlotte
Suspended between Charlotte's central interstate systems, Rockwell Park-Hemphill Heights is a neighborhood in transition. “It’s an up-and-coming area with a lot of new construction,” says Javin Daniels, broker/owner of Daniels Real Estate Group, who lives in Charlotte and has been selling homes in the area for 8 years. “It’s a quiet place and a more established community with a lot of church-going folks but you have a lot more younger people moving in,” Daniels says. This neighborhood conveniently fringes University City, home to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and is 7 miles away from Uptown, the vibrant central business district. In addition to single-family homes in ranch and contemporary styles, buyers here will find condos and townhouses with prices typically ranging from less than $200,000 to about $500,000.
