The Charlotte Business Journal reported today that Lenny Boy Brewing Co. will officially open its new location this weekend. A soft opening is set for Thursday, with the grand opening on Saturday. The new location has a much bigger taproom and space to brew bigger batches of beer and kombucha. They plan on canning beer in the near future and it may be available in the same fine retailers where you can already get their kombucha. They will also have food offerings inside and a food truck in the parking lot.
With this expansion joining the many other projects in South Charlotte along the Blue Line light rail, Colonial Village looks even more attractive. This neighborhood has been steadily under the radar, overshadowed by Sedgefield, South End and Dilworth just to the North. This means that you can still get a great deal on a home here.
Colonial Village is in the perfect location, just 7 miles from the airport and 3 miles to Uptown Charlotte. Residents here can drive into work, take a bus, or ride the Blue Line light rail. There are numerous restaurants, retail establishments, fitness centers, library locations, and parks close by. You can also get to SouthPark Mall in 10-15 minutes. Residents can stock up at Costco, which is only 3 miles South.
Originally built in the mid-nineteenth century, Colonial Village is a suburban community featuring single-family homes and apartments. Construction began when a railroad was built to connect Charlottesville to Charleston, SC. There used to be a lot of manufacturing in the area, but businesses started moving out in the 1970’s and the area is now primarily residential. Colonial Village is a great neighborhood for families, couples and young professionals.
Homes in Colonial Village are typically on large lots with original hardwood floors. Some homes are small in size, and some are much larger so there is something for every buyer. There are opportunities to fully update a home yourself, or you can get a home that has already been updated.
