Tucked in between Madison Park, Myers Park, and SouthPark, is the small but hip neighborhood of Montford. The name is not quite official, but it is unique enough to need a name. Though small, it is mighty in shopping, entertainment, nightlife, and great homes.
Montford is located around the intersection of E. Woodlawn Road and Park Road. Park Road Shopping Center is on the Northeast corner and anchors the area. Park Road Shopping Center is home to longtime favorites Sir Edmond Halley’s and Blackhawk Hardware. You can get your hair cut, pick up a pizza, then catch a movie all in one place. The Southeast corner is home to Park Towne Village with more shopping and dining choices. There are also more retail stores, nightlife locations, and restaurants on Montford Drive including Good Food, the Roasting Company, and a bowling alley/sports tavern. There is so much going on in Montford that parking is at a premium every night.
Behind Park Road Shopping Center is the entrance for the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. This extensive park, when completed, will begin at Cordelia Park on the north side of Charlotte and connect all the way to the South Carolina state line. This 20 mile trail is great for hiking, biking, running or walking.
The original homes in the Montford area are mostly small brick ranches. Many have original hardwood floors and unique details like telephone nooks. Some have recently been upgraded and it is not unusual to find homes added on to or replaced with new homes. Lot sizes tend to be around a quarter to a third of an acre.
In addition, it was announced today that a large multi-family project is going to be built in the Montford area. This large project, called Crescent Montford, is located at the old home of Pfeiffer University. This 5 acre site is slated to become 337 apartments and 17,500 square feet of retail. Crescent Montford is located at the corner of Park Road and Mockingbird Lane.
