Life on Raleigh Street

Hi All,

Today, I’m excited to blog about one of Charlotte’s most exciting new neighborhoods that’s growing up around Charlotte’s Independent Picture House and the Charlotte Art League.

I think building the light rail was one of Charlotte’s Best. Decisions. EVER.

Hop on the light rail and jump off at the Sugar Creek Station and there you are…Raleigh Street, Charlotte, NC.

Here you’ll find the beginnings of a new neighborhood, a new community, a new vibe, all its own. And yet, it’s an easy, 5-minute ride on a bike into NoDa.

Like so many growing cities, the new neighborhoods develop and overtake former industrial areas. On Raleigh Street, you’ll find the remnants of an industrial street. You’ll still see some concrete mixers, a handful of construction trailers.

But mostly…you’ll see “Coming Soon” signs. “Townhomes from the low $400s!,” reads one. “Coming in Early 2023,” says another.

Condos, townhomes, apartments, retail. And in the middle of it…

Welcome to Charlotte Art League, 4237 Raleigh St, Charlotte, NC 28213.

The name of this building is actually the Trailhead Arts Building. Inside and out, this building is already a universe of its own. It houses the Independent Picture House, a digital arts incubator, a cycle studio, podcasting space and creative co-working space. The Charlotte Art League (CAL) has event space, meeting and conference space, an outdoor event space, outdoor entertainment venue and yeah, frequent food trucks.

CAL is already such a beehive of activity that I’m hard pressed to keep up with the calendar.

I love being creative, and when I’m not selling real estate, I’m working on a painting or drawing right into the Charlotte Art League. Stop by and see me. Let’s talk real estate and let me help you become a part of this great, new community that’s sure to escalate in value with this great city of ours as it continues to grow!
