Location and Getting Around
Myers Park sits about 1.5 miles southeast of Uptown Charlotte, per the Society of Architectural Historians. It began in 1911, when George Stephens developed his father-in-law John S. Myers’ cotton plantation as a streetcar community, according to The Cultural Landscape Foundation. Boston planner John Nolen drew the master plan. Queens Road is the main boulevard, and it connects the neighborhood to Queens University.
The street plan was built to slow through traffic. The SAH describes winding streets that follow the land, with a few main entrances and planted medians.
SouthPark is about six miles south of Uptown Charlotte, centered near Fairview Road and Sharon Road, per Wikipedia. It takes its name from SouthPark Mall, which opened in February 1970, according to SouthPark’s community history page. Before that, much of the land was farmland. Former Governor Cameron Morrison owned a 3,000-acre farm and estate here called Morrocroft.
SouthPark is both a home area and a major business district. Wikipedia notes that most people drive and rush-hour traffic is common.
The Homes
Myers Park was built in phases. Early homes from 1911 to 1916 were mostly bungalows. From 1917 to 1926, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival homes took over, per the SAH. The neighborhood was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. You can see current homes and streets on my Myers Park page.
My SouthPark boundary takes in several neighborhoods around the mall. See my SouthPark page for more on the neighborhoods inside it.
Price per square foot shows the gap. Myers Park sold at a median of $618 a square foot. The SouthPark area sold at $398.

The Myers Park median went from $1,950,000 to $2,500,000, up about 28.2%. Price per square foot rose a smaller amount, from $601 to $618, about 2.8%.
Sales went from 109 to 101. The median home sold in 5 days, up from 4. Sellers got 99.1% of original list price, down from 100%. Supply held at 1.7 months, about where it was.
SouthPark Area
In the SouthPark area as I define it in the MLS, the median went from $1,035,000 to $925,000, down about 10.6%. Price per square foot fell from $416 to $398.
Sales dropped from 125 to 84. Homes still sold fast, with a median of 4 days, down from 5. Sellers got 98.9% of original list price, down from 99.4%. Supply went from 1.6 to 1.7 months.
Those are the facts. A median reflects which homes sold, so a different mix of homes from one year to the next can move it. If you own here, the best read on your value comes from recent sales that look like your home.
Things to Know
- National Register is not the same as a local historic district. Myers Park is on the National Register. It is not on the City of Charlotte’s list of eight local historic districts, which are the areas that need a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior work. Ask about any deed restrictions or HOA rules on the exact property.
- Boundaries change the numbers. SouthPark has no single official line. My numbers use my own street boundary, so other reports may show different results.
- Fewer sales means fewer comps. The SouthPark area had 84 sales, down from 125. With fewer recent sales to compare, pricing a home there takes a closer look at each one.
- Schools are assigned by address. Look up the exact address with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools before you buy.
- Older homes need a close look. Myers Park’s early homes date to the 1910s and 1920s. Plan a full inspection, and check permits for past additions and updates.
