Posted By Helen Adams Realty on May 22nd, 2009

CHARLOTTE REAL ESTATE southend-listing-har-home Historic SouthEnd is located 1.5 miles from center city Charlotte and borders the historic Dilworth neighborhood.  SouthEnd has its beginning in the 1850s when the first railroad line came to Charlotte, connecting the Queen City to Columbia and Charleston, SC. Over the years a thriving manufacturing community sprang up along the tracks, centered on the burgeoning textile industry. The area experienced a revival in the 1990s as restaurants, shops, and design-related industries discovered the beauty and versatility of the old mills and warehouses. Many warehouses have also been converted into upscale condominiums.  The addition of Charlotte’s light rail system has spouted new development along the tracks, providing easy access to nearby Center City Charlotte. SouthEnd has become a very popular spot for shops, restaurants and urban living.   southend-condo-train-and-skyline-good-shot

Posted By Helen Adams Realty on May 18th, 2009

CHARLOTTE REAL ESTATE Native Charlotteans who have been around long enough still call Lake Wylie “The River”. Lake Wylie was created in 1904 by a dam built on the Catawba River near Fort Mill, SC. The dam was rebuilt in 1924 and the lake’s surface expanded. While most of Lake Wylie lies in South Carolina in York County, the upper peninsula of Lake Wylie lies in North Carolina in Southwest Mecklenburg County and Southern Gaston County. So, depending on where you are on the lake, you could be in either North or South Carolina!lake-wylie

Today, Lake Wylie is a 12,455-acre lake with 325 miles of shoreline, ideal for boating, fishing, water skiing and residential living. Residences include lakefront condominiums, townhomes and single family homes. New, exclusive, eco-friendly developments like The Sanctuary, and The Palisades offer high-end homes with wooded lots and luxurious waterfront clubhouse amenities. Affordable single family developments like Tega Cay and The Landing are also prevalent in the Lake Wylie area, however single family waterfront homes can be quite pricey. Lakefront condominiums like Emerald Point offer a maintenance-free lifestyle with all the amenities like marinas, boat slips, tennis courts and a waterfront pool.

Getting to know Matthews, North Carolina

Posted By Helen Adams Realty on May 13th, 2009

Matthews Real Estate Matthews, NC began as a small farming community in the 1800s. Cotton farmers cleared the land for new plantings, leaving tree stumps in all directions; thus, the first name for the community became known as “Stumptown”. The history of Matthews runs deep, but most of the town’s 25,000 residents moved to Matthews in the past decade, attracted by affordable subdivisions, strong schools and the historic, pedestrian-friendly downtown.  Some historic Matthews homes remain around the fringes of Matthews town center, however the area has seen tremendous growth with new subdivisions.  Homes in Matthews range from new transitionals to historic colonials to craftsman style.

Charlotte Real Estate News The Charlotte Mecklenburg DOT contacted Helen Adams Realty today with an update on the Selwyn Road Priject  The DOT is considering changing part of Selwn Road from 4 lanes to 3 lanes and adding traffic circles.  The final plan has not had final approval yet, but a decision is expected soon.  I was told that Selwyn Road work will be done during 2009.  This could mean the resurfacing or the total rework of the street.  Selwyn Avenue is scheduled to be resurfaced as part of the City’s resurfacing contract for 2009. CDOT is currently analyzing the possibility of applying a street conversion to Selwyn Avenue. We would like to hear what the Selwyn Avenue area residents, and the general commuting public, think about a Selwyn Avenue street conversion. The following are a few questions/answers to help you understand a street conversion and the pros and cons associated with one on Selwyn.
