One such top performing subdivision in Charlotte is Beverly Crest. Developed inside the mid 1990’s, the properties here began the move towards subdivisions with modest yards, tons of amenities and classic old architecture, like that used in the Dilworth area of Charlotte.

Beverly Crest has four distinct areas; two offering the craftsman style properties-two offering far more conventional homes. Beverly Crest property prices range from $225,000 to $400,000 with homes offering 2500-4500 feet of living space.

For extras, the Beverly Crest subdivision has a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, and lighted sidewalks along with a modest lake with lots of walking trails to take you about the subdivision. Its highly prized schools consist of Providence High School, South Charlotte Middle and Elizabeth Lane Elementary.
