Big-city Amenities With Small-town Appeal

Southside Towns And 'Burbs

The southside communities of Ballantyne, Matthews, Pineville and Waxhaw combine historic sites with new construction. With a drive time of 20 to 40 minutes from uptown Charlotte, these towns may be small, but are mighty in amenities and offerings for residents.

Matthews Located southeast of uptown Charlotte, Matthews delights with historic charm alongside new development. Established along trading trails and a rail line in 1879, the town is home to over 30,000 residents with many neighborhoods nestled beneath the green canopy. The downtown boasts a year-round farmers market, craft-beer pubs, locally owned shops and eateries, a public library, and Matthew’s Playhouse of Performing Arts.

There are plenty of outdoor activities available thanks to the Four Mile Creek Greenway that connects downtown with Squirrel Lake Park, and Colonel Francis Beatty Park that has miles of hiking and biking trails, and a small lake for fishing.

The new Sportsplex features five multipurpose fields, playground equipment, walking trails and shelters, and is the home playing field for Charlotte Independence soccer.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
