If it's neighborhood feel you're looking for, then try the Beverly Woods area. Excellent schools there and a much more family feel than Myers Park. Also close to country clubs and other neighborhood-like amenities.
My observation is that community/neighborhood swimming pools are available but less common in the Myers Park area, becoming more common the further south one goes. Would that be accurate? I'd like an area with neighborhood amenities, if possible, for the social interaction.
Generally true. Most of us in urban neighborhoods join swim and tennis clubs for a fraction of the cost of HOA dues. And these clubs have great social opportunities as well.

Thank you! Beverly Woods looks great. Are Foxcroft, Mountain Brook, Barclay Downs, and Providence Park all similar to Beverly Woods?

Thanks. I should have specified socializing with neighbors and friends from school.

I would say fairly similar - Foxcroft is very expensive and very nice. A small section of Providence Park goes to East Meck HS (the rest to Myers Park). Beverly Woods/Mountainbrook is part Myers Park and part South Meck. Barclay Downs is all Myers Park. I personally would prefer Barclay Downs unless one cares about getting a lot of the house for the money. True that houses are more expensive/sq ft but one can walk to schools, the mall and other shopping areas from most of the neighborhood.

Okay, good to know. Are you talking about places like the Y or country clubs?
Swim and Tennis Clubs... there are quite a few in Charlotte and folks tend to join the ones convenient to their homes.
