Just 2 miles from Plaza Midwood

As Charlotte’s appetite for new businesses increases, neighborhoods on the city’s outskirts like Sheffield Park are experiencing a period of rapid transition. Community and nature converge here to shape a unique cultural identity. Median home values in Sheffield Park are still landing under $500,000, giving first-time homebuyers a chance to start residence in an evolving investment location. “With the continued popularity of Plaza Midwood, it makes sense that Real Estate opportunities have begun to expand farther and farther away from the city. This means areas like Sheffield are becoming harder and harder to find Real Estate in,” local Realtor, Lindsay Patton says. “Living in this neighborhood puts you in a prime location to be very close to some of Charlotte’s most popular restaurants, bars, and unique shopping, as well as entertainment.”

A mix of ranch and split-level housing

Busy commercial areas surround a dense residential network with a nature preserve at its core. From the urban woodlands extends a gridded layout of midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes settled neatly on Sheffield Park’s compact lots. This sidewalk neighborhood encourages long walks along its tree-shaded streets. Most properties are sold in a price range of $250,000 to $500,000, with a median price of about $400,000.
