Cornerstones like Bank of America and Wachovia helped sustain the Uptown area as well as the focused efforts by the nonprofit organization, Center City Partners, and the city government. The neighborhood was invigorated with a blend of new residential areas combined with existing historic properties and the addition of restaurants, shopping, entertainment and nightlife.

While the Fourth Ward boasts many of the oldest residences with Victorian homes, it also has newly constructed high-rise condominiums to make this an upscale, cosmopolitan neighborhood. Located in an old home, Alexander Michael’s is one of the best local restaurants along with other great dining and entertainment options of the fourth ward.
The positive effect for surrounding neighborhoods to and homes in Uptown Charlotte is the resulting higher appreciation rates. Depending on the home price one seeks, Uptown has a wide range of options that I can help identify when looking for an Uptown condo, home or townhome to buy.
