Mecklenburg County, NC 28202 to 28278
Charlotte, NC
Area overview
Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and the seat of Mecklenburg County. The housing changes block by block: 1920s bungalows near Uptown, brick ranches from the 1960s, and new townhomes along the light rail.
Because the city is so varied, the search usually starts with how you want to get around and what kind of house you want to maintain, then narrows to a handful of neighborhoods.

The LYNX Blue Line runs from south Charlotte through Uptown to the university area, with the Gold Line streetcar crossing it.

Little Sugar Creek Greenway and the Rail Trail connect parks and neighborhoods for miles without crossing traffic.
