The oldest and most architecturally significant of Charlotte's planned neighborhoods. Willow oak canopies, 1920s estates by John Nolen, and a school district that alone drives resale prices.

What makes Myers Park different

Myers Park is Charlotte's original planned garden suburb, laid out in 1911 by landscape architect John Nolen. The street grid follows natural topography, and the mature willow oak canopy — some trees more than a century old — is probably the single most photographed feature in the city.

Housing stock is almost entirely single-family, with architectural styles from Colonial Revival and Tudor to Georgian and modernist infill. Prices start around $900K for smaller cottages on Queens Road and climb past $8M for estate properties on Hempstead Place or Sherwood Avenue.

Schools & lifestyle

Myers Park feeds into Myers Park High — a nationally recognized public school — alongside Alexander Graham Middle and Eastover/Selwyn Elementary. School catchments here measurably affect prices; "inside the Myers Park lines" is written into Charlotte real estate vocabulary.

Lifestyle is quiet, walkable, and institution-rich: Freedom Park, the Mint Museum, Queens University, Dilworth's East Boulevard restaurants minutes away, and Uptown 5 – 10 minutes by car. The neighborhood is also home to several of Charlotte's oldest country clubs.

Who Buys Here

Legacy Charlotte families, senior executives and partners at banks and law firms, physicians from Atrium Health, and relocating buyers who prioritize architecture and walkability over square footage.
