Chantilly

"Chantilly is a rare neighborhood in Charlotte - with low traffic, outstanding quality of life, and one of the best locations for entertainment, work-life balance, dining, and recreation. Over 600 homes, a blend of older and new construction, with many complete renovations and new builds since 2005. The neighborhood's average home value is climbing rapidly, and in 2013-2014, average days on the market for new listings have at times dropped to three days. Located between the quiet and pricey Elizabeth neighborhood and the popular Plaza-Midwood area, Chantilly has more than a dozen excellent restaurants within walking distance, and equally as many nightlife venues. Insulated from the nearby arterial roads of 7th Street and Central Avenue, Chantilly feels like a quiet suburban neighborhood, but is within a ten-minute drive of uptown Charlotte. Neighborhood parks and outdoor recreation opportunities are plentiful, with two major greenways within running or biking distance. The neighborhood is a walker/runner's dream, with quiet and low traffic tree-lined streets. With an excellent neighborhood park of it's own and three others within walking distance, residents find Chantilly an ideal place for outdoor recreation with kids and pets. Chantilly residents enjoy being in the Myer's Park High School zone, which is one of the top 3 high schools in Mecklenburg County. Elementary and Middle School territory maps are currently in flux, and those considering Chantilly as their new home should review the latest info on the Char-Meck Schools website."
