SouthPark is a highly sought-after neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina. The area is known for its Fortune 500 offices, some of the most exclusive shopping in the United States, and elegant estates in gated communities. It is one of the largest business centers in North Carolina, yet it is just a quick drive from entertainment and family fun. The schools here are some of the best in the state. The neighborhoods are established and nestled away with wooded lots and tree-lined streets. “SouthPark is truly a mixed-use neighborhood with schools, shopping, apartments, homes, condos and offices all in one place,” according to Catharine Pappas, VP of Relocation at Dickens Mitchener.
History
The SouthPark area was originally a 3,000-acre farm owned by former North Carolina Governor and U.S. Senator Cameron Morrison. Morrison built a 14,000 square-foot home there called Morrocroft during the 1920s, which still stands today. In addition, it is on the National Register of Historic Places and represents the beauty and appreciation for fine architecture that is prevalent in SouthPark. The intersection of Fairview Road and Sharon Road marks the middle of the neighborhood, which is conveniently located about six miles south of Uptown Charlotte. Centrally located in the neighborhood today, SouthPark Mall is the largest shopping mall in the Carolinas.
