South Charlotte Homes between $1.5Million and $2.0 Million: The Palisades, Ballantyne Country Club, High Gate, Piper Glen, Southpark, Myers Park– a South Charlotte tour de force!
I’ve spent the better part of last week preparing for a weekend client from the Pacific Northwest, a great family with young children ages 6 and 9. They looked at private schools Charlotte Country Day, Charlotte Latin and Providence Day, on Friday and we looked at homes in Ballantyne, High Gate, Piper Glen, Myers Park, SouthPark and the Palisades over the weekend.
For families moving to Charlotte, no decision looms larger than”Where To Live In Charlotte,”
the BIG question, sometimes asked, “Where would a family like ours be happy?” It is a big question because we have many very nice communities here-at every price point- yet until a family comes here and looks- it is a big question, and one each family has to answer for themselves. The same is true at $1.5 to 2Million, here is what this family decided…
To start, let the schools rule. The community has to be within a reasonable commuting/carpooling distance to the schools of choice. 2nd- The community has to have amenities, a place or places families gather where they can meet children and adults their own age- folks with young children– and amenities beyond golf as they are not big golfers. Both of these are wise and crucial choices that eliminate many nice communities, but keep the communities right for this family.
Two neighborhoods stood out- the Palisades and Ballantyne Country Club. Two former Homearama Houses, great values in the $1.65 M range caught their attention in the Palisades, one by Jas-Am, one by Regal in SW Charlotte’s fastest growing community. And they liked the feel and location of Ballantyne, we saw a large number of children playing outside.

Terry - Sounds like you worked with the client to find a home that fit their lifestyle! That is a must have trait in a good buyers agent. Love the photos on your smugmug gallery. Beautiful area. - Ashley
Terry, When home buyers are looking to purchase a luxury home they need a real estate agent that really knows the local market and the inside scoop on Charlotte NC. Looks like a great place to live - Cyndee
Ashley- my first real estate love was smugmug!:) Thanks Cyndee- it was a busy week, which explains the fewer posts…
Glad to know a Charlotte Real estate expert who knows his stuff!
Deciding where to live in a given community is especially difficult for people from out of town who do not know the Charlotte area. It is great to have a contact that knows the Charlotte real estate market so well.
