Upscale living near shops, schools and more

Whiteoak’s chief appeal is placing residents near, but not right in the middle of, the shopping and dining destinations of Ballantyne in south Charlotte. Also, since many of Whiteoak’s homes are a bit smaller, buyers won’t find many of Ballantyne’s million-dollar homes here. “It’s one of those neighborhoods that keeps you close to Ballantyne’s shopping centers, like StoneCrest and Toringdon, but at a lower cost than what can be found farther south,” says Beth Belcher, a Realtor with Re/Max who has 15 years of experience in the Charlotte area. Being on the north end of Ballantyne, residents find themselves nearer to other shopping centers like SouthPark Mall. Nearby Interstate 485 links this area to Charlotte’s airport and other peripheral subdivisions. Whiteoak’s schools are nothing to gloss, as some of them rank among Charlotte’s finest, according to Niche. A new high school is set to open soon, right in the center of the neighborhood.

Refined homes and townhouses

Residential communities branch off Endhaven Lane, the neighborhood’s main connector. Streets tend to be wide enough to accommodate some road parking, with sidewalks occasionally appearing on the edges of lawns. Most homes follow Cape Cod and Colonial Revival architectural designs, with brick or vinyl siding, arched entryways, rectangular columns and spacious, tree-decorated front lawns. Prices typically vary between $400,000 and $800,000. Homes in Whiteoak’s gated community of Ivy Hall are usually on the middle to higher end of this spectrum. Townhouses can be found off Endhaven Village Drive, selling for anywhere from $300,000 to $600,000.

Excellent schools, with another on the way

Endhaven Elementary, located on its namesake road, is within 2 miles of Whiteoak homes. Thanks to abundant sidewalks and a pedestrian crossing, the school is easily walkable. Kids can then move up to South Charlotte Middle and South Mecklenburg High. At the high school’s South Meck World Language Academy magnet program, the largest in the state, students take seven classes in a target language such as Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and American Sign Language. Endhaven Elementary receives a B-plus from Niche, while South Charlotte Middle and South Mecklenburg High earn A-minuses. A new high school, Ballantyne Ridge High, is on the way to relieve overcrowding at schools like South Mecklenburg High and Ardrey Kell High. This new school will be located right in Whiteoak.

Exploring backyard parks and playing the back nine

Lindsay Patton, a Realtor with The Redbud Group who has almost 2 years of experience in real estate, recommends visiting Ballantyne’s Backyard, a sprawling green space with fields for running around and ponds for catch-and-release fishing just south of Interstate 485. “They even have daily food trucks parked in the area for walkers and business professionals,” Patton says. Locals can also get their daily steps in at Four Mile Creek Greenway, which links to a greater network of trails, such as Lower McAlpine Creek Greenway. “My office is right by the trail, and I always see people using it to walk or bike,” Belcher says. “There’s an entrance by Trader Joe’s, and you’ll often see people going on the trail from there.” A different type of green can be found on the golf course at Carmel Country Club, which Club Leaders of America distinguishes as a Platinum Club of America. The club also offers other amenities such as tennis courts, a driving range and a restaurant and hosts regular events such as a “Family Bingo Night.”
