Conceived in the 1920’s, Charlotte’s Eastover neighborhood was originally marketed as a neighborhood for car owners. The adjacent Myers Park and Dilworth had street car service (which is why the neighborhood has a wide boulevard and monuments which served as the original street car stops) but to set Eastover apart, the lots were larger and only two street car stops were added in the neighborhood.
Today, Eastover is still set apart as a neighborhood with estate-sized lots and the highest priced homes so close to Uptown.
This week, Jonathan delivers the real estate sales figures from June 2020 and dives into if a Covid-triggered foreclosure wave is headed for the Charlotte area.
This week, we’re discussing Sorting Out The New South City with author Tom Hanchett. Learn how Charlotte wasn’t always a segregated city, the pivotal event that divided the city, how generations of black residents were kept from having a say in North Carolina and the landmark Supreme Court decision that re-integrated a generation of Charlotte students.

Summertime is here and there’s no better time to start dreaming about life out on the lake. The Charlotte area is home to Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, Mountain Island Lake and nearby, Lake Tillery, Badin Lake, and High Rock Lake. Lake Norman is the largest man-made lake in North Carolina, covering more than 32,000 acres and 34 miles of shoreline that borders Iredell, Mecklenburg and Lincoln counties.
The appeal of Lake Norman, aside from the sheer size, is the proximity to Charlotte and nearby Mooresville, which is home to many NASCAR teams and Lowes Home Improvement. This has enabled Lake Norman to become more than just a weekend getaway lake but a lake for year-round occupants to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and the lake lifestyle.
Here are the 25 most expensive homes currently available for sale on Lake Norman. View all homes for sale on Lake Norman.
