Lansdowne is truly one of the hidden gems of Charlotte. Built in the 1960’s and 1970’s, Lansdowne is well established, with lush landscaping and large lots. Most of the homes are original to the neighborhood. There was one new construction home just down the street from Providence Day School that sold in July for $1.59 million. Another new construction home is listed now for $1,399,999. These large lots close into town are tempting for new construction.
Don’t be too concerned about the high price tag of the few new construction homes in Lansdowne. Most of the homes here average just under $400,000. This is a much more reasonable entry point for the neighborhood, and could be a great investment if the trend of rebuilding on this great land continues.
Many of the homes in Lansdowne have great architecture and come in a variety of styles. There is a great concentration of mid-century modern homes, traditional ranches, split-levels, and two-story homes. Many have vaulted ceilings, open floor-plans, remodeled interiors, great natural light, outdoor living spaces and more.
Lansdowne is bordered by Providence Road on the South and Sardis Road in the North. This means you have easy access to SouthPark Mall, Cotswold Village Shops, and Phillips Place. An uptown commute should take around 20 minutes, while a trip to Charlotte Douglas International Airport will take about half an hour. Levine Jewish Community Center, with it’s health club, social events and mix of religious and non-denominational events is just around the corner.
Lansdowne is currently zoned for Lansdowne Elementary School, McClintock Middle School, and East Mecklenburg High School. The neighborhood is also located near many private schools which is one of the big draws.
There are currently 15 homes on the market in Lansdowne which represents a 5 month supply. This is a much more balanced market than most neighborhoods in Charlotte. Prices have been steadily rising for the last year so now is a great time to get in before they rise further.
