About Chantilly

Chantilly
Charlotte, NC

Chantilly is the neighborhood that seasoned Charlotte buyers discover when they've done their research. Tucked along 7th Street between Plaza Midwood and Elizabeth, it delivers craftsman bungalows, cottage-style homes, and tree-shaded residential streets at a price point that both of its better-known neighbors have long since left behind. The LYNX Gold Line provides Uptown access. Central Avenue dining is walkable. Freedom Park and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway are minutes south. Chantilly doesn't announce itself — it rewards the buyers who find it.

Ryan's Take

"Chantilly is my answer when a buyer loves Plaza Midwood but the prices keep pushing them out. Same walkability, same character, same access to everything \u2014 at a price that still makes sense. It's one of the best-kept secrets left in inner Charlotte."
