South End has become an important part of the revitalization of Charlotte NC real estate and uptown Charlotte. Once home to Charlotte's warehouses and mills, the South End has become one of the coolest places to own property in Charlotte NC. Tons of old warehouses have been converted to luxury lofts because of their proximity to uptown Charlotte and their ease of access to all its ammenities. South End is located along South Boulevard which is the first leg of Charlotte's new light rail system. Now, you don't even have to drive to get downtown. Light rail stops are ample in South End. The neighborhood has become a Mecca for young and fashionable folks who like urban living and like being close to uptown shopping, dining and culture. South End is near uptown Charlotte, Segefield, and Dilworth. Check out Phat Burrito or Amos' South End for some good eats while you're visiting. And if you choose to move to South End, remember the Carolina Home Pros at Re/Max.

Charlotte NC real estate got a leg up when the Bobcats became the second NBA expansion team to call Charlotte NC home. After a few seasons of difficulty, the bobcats roster reads like a who's who of college basketball from the past few years. Center Emeka Okafor was a standout at the University of Connecticut, Adam Morrison started a moustache craze at Gonzaga, and Sean May and Raymond Felton took home a championship during their time at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Although Chapel Hill is two and a half hours away from Charlotte, many Charlotteans call that school, and other schools with basketball pedigrees in the Raleigh-Durham area like Duke and NC State, their alma mater. The team currently has a wealth of youthful players, but, with a bit of luck, the Charlotte Bobcats will be pouncing into the playoffs with their eyes on an NBA Championship.

If you're looking at Charlotte NC Real Estate, unfortunately, one of the best examples is not for sale. The historic Duke Mansion near downtown Charlotte, NC, was built in 1919 and purchased shortly thereafter by James Buchanan Duke, the famous North Carolinian who left behind the Duke Endowment and Duke Energy. It is one of the most beautiful homes in a neighborhood full of beautiful homes called Myers Park. Only two miles away from uptown Charlotte, the Mansion has been renovated and reinvented itself as an inn. It hosts business and recreational guests as a twenty room bed and breakfast. If you're a business owner looking into relocating your business to Charlotte, NC and hold conferences regularly, the Mansion is the perfect venue to impress clients. The gardens are beautifully maintained with water fountains. If that doesn't impress visitors, the marble floors and french doors will. There is another option: if you don't like the Duke Mansion, you could build your own. Just get in touch with the friendly agents at RE/Max who can help you find the Charlotte real estate you need.
