Looking for info. on a great spot to live in Charlotte that would satisfy the following
- close to shopping, restaurants
- possible walk to coffee shops
- safe neighborhood
- green space
- condo or sigle family homes
- price range 400 to 500 K
Oh....and does Charlotte have unique independent boutique and gift stores???? Looking for some charming stores that I can buy gifts and home decor.
I say look in Dilworth (East Blvd) for homes/condos and for shopping go to shops around Southpark. Specifically the stores at Phillips Place. Good luck!
Good Luck on your upcoming move. I'm just a visitor to the Charlotte area (hope to move there eventually). Whenever I go to visit my friends we go to Kirklands and Garden Ridge. You will find great home decor and gifts there.
Dilworth if you have kids, drive an SUV, and voted for McCain and Elizabeth if you like bicycling, drive a Volvo, and voted for Obama. Both are great neighborhoods, easy to walk to places, but I like living in Elizabeth because its a lot more laid back. Paper Skyscraper on East Blvd is the only independent gift store that I know of, but its a great little shop.
Kirkland's and Garden Ridge are two of my favorite stores but I don't consider them to be "unique independent" stores. However along those same lines. Hobby Lobby is a great place to shop. It's kind of a mix between Garden Ridge, Kirkland's and Michael's. There are a lot of nice home decor and unique items.
A local favorite store is Black Lion. There are also independent stores in the NoDa arts district and Historic South End (http://www.historicsouthend.com/areaGuide.asp?keywords=&searchType=5&subCategory=0 &price=&subCategory=0&subCategory=0&subCategory =0 - broken link).
I'm sure there are more out there. If you don't mind driving, I know that there are independent stores in Downtown Belmont, example Piccolo Antique Mall & Fine Consignments
