Charlotte Trending As Suburban Hotspot for Homebuyers

In Realtor.com’s recent list of suburban hotspots in the U.S., Charlotte NC homes for sale in its suburbs are on the rise – particularly in the vicinity of Uptown, which is Charlotte’s business district. This district is a major source of the Queen City’s thriving economy, making the area that much more attractive to homebuyers seeking homes close to where they work.And although the neighborhood is not one of the top 10 suburban hotspots as yet (currently ranked 12th), homes for sale in Uptown are some of the fastest selling properties right now.

Uptown is a distinct part of Charlotte because it isn’t just one area of the city, but is divided into four quarters:

• First Ward – mostly residential with lots of homes for sale
• Second Ward – predominantly contains businesses, but also a mix of residential properties for sale or rent
• Third Ward – banking capitol, location for museums, the NFL Panther’s stadium, and renovated homes
• Fourth Ward – historic section of town that is also mainly residential
