			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Located in Southeast Charlotte lies the community of Providence Plantation.

The popularity of Providence Plantation is based on the excellent schools, great amenities, convenience to I-485 and the nearby entertainment venues.</p>

<p>Approximately 3 miles away you will find The Arboretum. A popular destination for shopping, restaurants, movies, and live outdoor music. Home to popular chain stores, as well as merchants unique to the area.</p>
<p>Sightings of wildlife, passing through, can be seen both day and night. It is not unusual to see a family of deer cross your path. During the spring and summer, rabbits can be regularly spotted, much to  the delight of young children.</p>
