Neighborhood Explorer: SouthPark
This post is brought to you in partnership with SearchCharlotte.com.
It’s hard to believe what is now a premier shopping destination in Charlotte was once expansive dairy farmland. Nowadays, cow pastures are replaced with high end boutiques and shopping complexes, international cuisine hot spots and glittering condo buildings. And if what you’re shopping for is your next home, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is right down the road and ready to help.
Eat
This neighborhood doesn’t stick to one type of cuisine. Simple and classic, Cafe Monte is a favorite for its French Bistro fare. Light and delicious, YAFO Kitchen is a fast-casual find for Mediterranean cuisine. Burgers meets sushi, The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar is famous for their own type of fusion food.
Play
During the summer, Charlotte descends on South Park for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra’s Summer Pops series. Pack a picnic basket, pick out a bottle of rosé or two, and call 20 of your closest friends for an evening of classical music under the stars.
Shop
There are three main options in South Park when it comes to shopping. For high-end mall shopping at stores like Nordstrom’s, American Girl, and Louis Vuitton, look no further than SouthPark Mall. Head down the road to Phillips Place for Brooks Brothers, Restoration Hardware, Taylor Richards & Conge, or go boutique hopping to Poole Shop, Boem, Ivy & Leo and Specialty Shops SouthPark.
