This neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina has approximately 13,000 residents living in the homes in Uptown, which originally was divided into four districts or wards as they are referred to today. The Tryon and Trade streets intersection splits the four wards. There will be continued growth in these distinct areas as people believe it to be one of the trendiest residential neighborhoods in Charlotte.
Understanding the different districts helps clarify the vibrancy and excitement of the area. The First Ward is anchored with light rail, the LYNX Blue Line, originating at 7th Street. It has a range of housing options from apartments to single-family homes near Uptown. Becoming a true residential area, Second Ward has been known for its nightlife with great clubs and lounges. With resurgence in recent years, the Third Ward is home to Carolina Panthers and after Johnson & Wales University opened its doors in 2004 it truly revolutionized the Third Ward neighborhood. Initiated in the 70s, the revitalization of the Fourth Ward was the first in the area and now includes a Victorian atmosphere with homes, condominiums and apartments.

Mixing historic 100+ year old homes in Charlotte’s downtown area, known as Uptown, with commercial and newer residential development has brought people back to the heart of the city. This Center City of Charlotte contains the city’s four wards along with the Uptown neighborhood of nearly 12,000 residents.

In recent years the Third Ward has transformed and been revitalized with both new residential areas and entertainment scenes. Finding homes near Uptown, with all the distinctive style and convenience of an urban setting, is something Scott Pridemore can help you research. Home to Johnson and Wales University, Uptown also is the location of Bank of America Stadium, which offers facility tours and is the home of the Carolina Panthers. This 73,778-seat stadium hosts The Meineke Car Care Bowl where Pittsburgh defeated North Carolina, 19 – 17 this weekend.
