Laid out in the 1910s by planner John Nolen, Myers Park is known for the willow oaks that arch over Queens Road West, deep lots, and some of Charlotte's finest early-20th-century houses.
Architecture and homes
Colonial Revival, Georgian, Tudor and Mediterranean estates share curving streets with smaller cottages and newer infill. Many homes sit on half-acre lots or larger, with detached garages and carriage houses.
- Most housing stock dates from the 1920s–1950s
- Renovated originals command a premium over unrenovated ones
- Some streets fall within local historic-district guidelines; ask before planning exterior changes
Parks and outdoors
Freedom Park's lake, ball fields and trails border the neighborhood, and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway connects south toward Dilworth and north toward Uptown on foot or by bike.
Getting around
Uptown is roughly three miles away. Queens Road, Providence Road and Selwyn Avenue carry most traffic; side streets are quiet and walkable.
Shops and dining
Shops and restaurants along Selwyn Avenue and Providence Road cover coffee, groceries and dinner.
