I am from Charlotte North Carolina. I am so glad that they corrected that story because when I first saw it living in Dallas Texas I was highly disappointed. Because I remember when they build hidden valley and black started to move in the seventies it was considered the elite community. So I'm glad that they cleared up the story. May God bless them and may they strive ahead.

My dad grew up in Hidden Valley, its nice to learn its history

Thanks to Dr. Lash and UNCC SHARP Team members.

Would’ve loved to see one young black male in this documentary speaking....

Thanks - this was very helpful. I’m considering buying my first home, and the one I toured in this neighborhood really spoke to me. Perhaps we will become neighbors one day!

I grew up in Hidden Valley. We moved there in 1968. I remember when busing started, my mother brought the first black kids to Hidden Valley Elementary from Druid Hills. That first weekend, someone busted all the windows, cut tires and seats to the bus. We were kids and hadn't been taught racism. We just played together. My dad bought a pickup, just to take all the boys to football and baseball at Derita. Skin color didn't matter. Those were great times.

When my family moved there in 1973, we were blessed to have a very nice home, great neighbors, where the older white lady that lived next door (Mrs. Irene) was our resident "Candy Lady" and as sweet as they come. Hidden Valley was a blessing to me growing up! Of all the places we could have been raised in Charlotte, it was an honor to be raised in Hidden Valley!

So glad my daughter was apart of this am from Charlotte and this place got a bad reputation because of gangs

I was born there in 65. It was a wonderful place to be a child. Large neighborhood. Safe streets.

Loved hidden valley!

I'm proud of where I'm from 💚

hidden valley to me is everything in between 85, west sugar creek, and north tryon maybe those apartments are technically not part of hvk but they are literally just a couple feet away. Most of the murders in charlotte happen on the intersection of sugar creek and 85 which is just a couple feet from HVK.

Things have changed a lot over the years. Hidden Valley has never been a “real” bad neighborhood. We mover in in 1962 I think. Derita was our elementary school at first. Then Hidden Valley was built . Mom stayed there until she passed in 2020. Always had pretty good neighbors with the exception of a house on Squirrel Hill that is a rental. Our is a large lot because of the power lines passing through. Then house is being sold now. I hope that it does not become a rental property.

No place like home

Today a white lady moved in across the street and introduced herself to me. Hidden Valley is slowly becoming gentrified. It started with the Latinos buying homes in H.V. and improving them. Now everytime someone moves out their home is updated and remodeled, property values are rising. Don't sell.
