Ballantyne is everything!! Every time that I visit my friends in Pineville they live in the subdivision directly across the street from Ballantyne ,Before I go to their home in Woodside falls I have first take a look at the homes in Ballantyne.

Awesome job breaking down the 13 neighborhoods of Charlotte

Great presentation summarizing various neighborhoods!

In the 1990s and early 2000s, NoDa was a prime destination for the arts, known for its vibrant galleries. However, over time, these galleries have been replaced by restaurants and bars, transforming NoDa into more of an entertainment hub.

Trader Joe’s is located in Midtown, not Plaza Midwood. In Plaza Midwood, the only significant grocery store is Harris Teeter, situated at the intersection of Central and The Plaza.

Keep the content coming!

Thank you!!! This is what I needed for a blind relocation ❤

Thanks for watching, we put a lot of time into these vids for people exactly like you! Are you moving to Charlotte soon? Or just researching the area?

That South Park lifestyle needs what could be, unburdened by what has been

We are moving to Ballantyne next summer, wish we could offer southpark, but Ballantyne is the next best thing.

Todd Park gets my vote. Once a whistle stop on the electric train service between Charlotte and Gastonia. The historical Thrift, Mt. Holly and Belmont stations are still standing, While Toddville had a covered platform (long gone). Today? Gunfire, coyotes, air traffic and train traffic characterize the diverse orchestra of equity and inclusion....

Thanks for the bit of history! Are you referencing the covered platform near the corner of Moores Chapel and Freedom where it splits off into Old Mount Holly Road? It's visible from the road back in the woods. There are some great neighborhoods back in there, I actually live near there myself. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@LivingInCharlotteTeam Yes, that's the old Thrift station. It used to sit on the opposite side of the road but was moved across the street a few years back - we continue to hope it finds some legitimate uses. Where all of the roads intersect around the railroad overpass was known as the Thrift neighborhood up until the 1960s. The old Toddville platform was off of Toddville Road on the LH side of the road heading south at the second railroad track right before FedEx. Toddville became Todd Park in the 1950s. Renmants of the old track still run past the the long gone Lakewood Park Amusement Park on Parkway Avenue off of Tuckaseegee Road.. Electric Trolleys ran up the middle of Tuckaseegee Road many years ago. Lots of Charlotte History in that area too.

Charlotte and surrounding area feels heavily underdeveloped, coming from Atlanta ga, wife and I just visited and it felt very country like. Lots of green and empty spaces.

@@imvox2019 just had clients in from Atlanta this weekend as well, I’ll always love the time I lived there. There’s definitely a lot more nature left here and will likely always be that way relative to ATL due to additional topography reducing usable land. What was highs and lows for you and the wife this trip?

It seems like all of Charlotte has the same problem - Too Expensive, Too Crowded, etc

Been living in Charlotte/Matthews for over 28 years, and things have really changed. South Park/Myers Park used to be the area to be in. But now, it’s all about Ballantyne. Ballantyne is going through rapid growth right now and traffic is ridiculous. A lot of loops are being constructed on 485 in Ballantyne. It’s also extremely expensive, but it’s the most demanding area right now because of school, crime rate, close to shopping and extreme lavish lifestyle. Ballantyne is mostly for the upper class.

Hate to break it to you, but South Park/Myers park is still where the wealthiest people live. Ballantyne is where people who can't afford south park live.

@@onlyfoolriding8223 No. Ballantyne is where smart people who wants to avoid constantly ongoing retarded crimes in South Park/Myers Park area. South Park/Myers Park area are where rich gullible people live cause they bought into the hype and don’t want to move out of it unless they take a hit out of their home equity.

I was born and raised in Charlotte in the 70’s I can remember when Charlotte was literally split by the railroad tracks when West Boulevard meets East Boulevard it was like a world of difference. I’ve been out of Charlotte for about 10 years now maybe a little bit more but it’s funny how fast it’s developed in the last 10 years, I didn’t hear you mention the Whitehall area anyway great video

Thanks for watching! Most people couldn’t even point to Whitehall tbh, they’d lump it in with the Steele Creek area. My dad used to live in Charlotte for a bit in the 70’s and mentioned the same thing. Would you ever live in Charlotte again? Or did life move you other places for good?

Same thing with Milwaukee. I'm a 70's baby born and raised and the viaduct divided the city and it was like night and day. As a small child, I was ignorant and thought all cities were racially segregated (because that's all I knew) until my girlfriend from Texas told me it was a Milwaukee thing...that's when the world got much bigger to me lol. Milwaukee was one of the most if not the most racially segregated cities in America -- at least at that time. It is far more diverse today than it was back then.

Nothing like it !!!! South park !!!!! It looks like nyc
