Myers Park

Description

Myers Park is a neighborhood in the City of Charlotte, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It is not a separate town. The City sets its zoning, Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues building permits, and owners pay County and City property taxes on one County bill. Developer George Stephens announced plans for Myers Park in 1911, and landscape architect John Nolen designed it.

Two historic district designations apply here, and they work differently. The Myers Park Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, which on its own does not restrict a private owner. Hermitage Court, a subsection of the neighborhood, is also a City of Charlotte local historic district, where exterior changes need approval. City tree rules apply everywhere, and the homeowners association says private deed restrictions apply to almost all property.

I'm Yubeen Choi, a bilingual English and Korean agent with eXp Realty. This page doesn't list homes for sale. If you're looking at Myers Park homes for sale, tell me your budget and the streets you're considering, and I can send you current listings that match. Before you make an offer, I can also check a house's historic district status, zoning and deed restrictions.

Where Myers Park Is

Boundaries depend on who draws them, so this page uses the National Register district. The National Park Service describes it as roughly bounded by NC 16, East and West Queens Road, and Lillington Avenue. Its nomination says the district centers on the original Stephens Company tract. Within it, the district includes only the streets planned or built while John Nolen and Earle Sumner Draper oversaw the design, from 1911 to 1926. It also takes in a handful of later blocks along Princeton, Hastings, Bucknell and Norton that sit inside the curve of Queens Road West. The straight streets of Myers Park Manor lie to the south, outside the district.

The Myers Park Homeowners Association draws its own, irregular boundary, because the neighborhood was developed in stages. It begins at Brunswick Avenue and Sugar Creek and excludes lots east of Providence Road. Across Providence Road is Eastover, which the nomination describes as a new neighborhood in the 1930s.

The nomination says that by 1928, city boundaries included virtually the entire neighborhood. The City's annexation map dates the area at Queens University to 1928 and the Hermitage Court area to 1907.

Homes and History

The first phase, from 1911 to about 1916, produced most of the streets in the north half of the suburb, between the Fourth Street entrance gate and the intersection of Queens and Providence roads. Earle Sumner Draper took over the design in 1917 and kept close to Nolen's concepts. He drew many of the streets near Queens College, including Sherwood Avenue, Roswell Avenue and the sweeping curve of Queens Road West.

The plan called for houses with no front fences, so the streets would read as green parkways, and Draper's crews moved hundreds of mature willow oaks and water oaks onto the former cotton fields. Along with parts of nearby Dilworth, also designed in 1911, Myers Park introduced curvilinear street planning to Charlotte.

The nomination says nearly all buildings in the district are detached single-family houses one to two stories tall, mostly Colonial Revival, Bungalow and Tudor Revival. The 1920s were the busiest decade for homebuilding, and most 1920s houses were red brick. Building rose again in the 1950s, when 186 structures were erected, and many post-war buildings were Ranch houses or apartments.

The nomination counted 958 structures in the district and describes a mix of large and medium sized houses, nearly all on lots of less than one acre. Today, the homeowners association says, the neighborhood is primarily single-family homes but also includes apartments, condominiums and duplexes, as well as commercial properties.

The Myers Park Streetcar Waiting Stations, on Queens Road at Hermitage Road and at East Fourth Street, are designated landmarks and the only surviving pieces of the streetcar line that served the city from 1891 to 1938.

Historic District, Zoning and Tree Rules for Owners

The National Register district

North Carolina's State Historic Preservation Office says National Register listing does not obligate or restrict a private owner unless the owner seeks a federal benefit such as a grant or tax credit. Of Charlotte's eight local historic districts, the only one in Myers Park is Hermitage Court, so elsewhere in the neighborhood the Historic District Commission does not review exterior changes. Individual properties can also be designated local historic landmarks, such as the Duke Mansion and the Myers Park Streetcar Waiting Stations. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission says state law requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before any material alterations to a designated landmark, and it reviews significant ones.

Listing does matter for tax credits. North Carolina offers homeowners a 15% state tax credit for qualified rehabilitation of an owner-occupied home listed in the National Register individually or as a contributing building in a National Register district. The work must exceed $10,000 within a 24-month period, and the maximum tax credit is $22,500. Under current law the program ends for expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2030, so talk to the State Historic Preservation Office before you start.

Hermitage Court, the local historic district

The City describes Hermitage Court as a subsection of the Myers Park neighborhood, marked by stone gateways at each end, and designated it a local historic district in 2006.

Inside the district, changes to the outside of a building or property, including windows, doors, fencing and tree removal, need a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Historic District Commission before work begins, whether or not a building permit is required. Additions of less than a 50% increase in square footage are minor projects. New construction, larger additions, accessory dwelling units and painting previously unpainted brick are major projects.

Staff can approve certain minor works but cannot deny a COA. A COA is valid for 12 months. For a building of special significance, the commission can delay a demolition for no more than 365 days. Under state law, a demolition can be denied only when the State Historic Preservation Officer has found the building to have statewide significance. On the City's zoning map, Hermitage Court parcels carry the Historic District Overlay, such as N1-A(HDO), which supersedes the base zoning on exterior features.

Zoning, permits and deed restrictions

Charlotte's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), effective June 1, 2023, sets zoning in Myers Park. Its N1-A through N1-E districts allow single-family, duplex and triplex dwellings on all lots, and N1-A, typically applied to established neighborhoods, allows homes on lots of 10,000 square feet or greater. Zoning varies even within Hermitage Court, where parcels include N1-A, N1-C and N2-B, so I can check the City's map for any house you're considering. Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues the permits required for alteration, repair or demolition of one- and two-family homes.

The Myers Park Homeowners Association, incorporated in 1984, says deed restrictions apply to almost all property in Myers Park and set how far houses sit from the street and from side lot lines. It says most are more demanding than the City's building and zoning code, and that City staff cannot enforce them, so an owner with a building permit may still be in violation. The Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds can help locate the restrictions for a lot.

Trees

The City's tree preservation requirements protect trees in public street rights-of-way and on private property. A heritage tree is any North Carolina native tree with a DBH (diameter at breast height) of 30 inches or greater, and removing a qualifying heritage tree outside a development project requires a Heritage Tree Removal Permit. Planted trees in the street right-of-way are City trees, and the Charlotte Tree Ordinance, adopted May 15, 2023, requires a City tree work permit before any work on them.

Building a new house on an existing lot also requires at least one large maturing tree for every 40 feet of lot width, or one small maturing tree for every 30 feet of lot width, between the house and the street. Existing large maturing shade trees there can count toward this if they are adequately protected during construction.

Property Taxes and Revaluation

Myers Park owners pay County and City property taxes. For fiscal year 2026-2027, the Mecklenburg County rate is 0.4927 per $100 of assessed value and the City of Charlotte rate is 0.2930 per $100, or 0.7857 combined. Payments were due September 1, 2026, and must be paid by January 5, 2027.

Mecklenburg County is conducting its regular four-year revaluation for 2027, and assessed value notices will be mailed and online records updated in early 2027. If you believe your new value is incorrect, you can request an informal review within 30 days from the date on your notice. The State Historic Preservation Office says local historic district designation has no effect on local property taxes.

Parks, Gardens and Places

Queens University of Charlotte says it is located in the heart of the historic Myers Park neighborhood, on a 35-acre campus. Nolen's plan set aside a large tract at the center of the suburb for educational uses, and the school became Queens College in 1912, anticipating its move there. Queens and Elon University announced in September 2025 that they plan to unite, and a U.S. Department of Education review remains underway.

The Duke Mansion, at 400 Hermitage Road, was built in 1915, and James Buchanan Duke bought it in 1919. It is now a nonprofit historic inn, gardens and meeting place, and its gardens are free and open for strolling during daylight hours.

The Landmarks Commission places Ridgewood Avenue in the Poplar Gables neighborhood, on the southwest edge of Myers Park. The Elizabeth Lawrence House & Garden there is open to the public and is one of Wing Haven's three public gardens. Wing Haven says it is in the Myers Park neighborhood, between Selwyn Avenue and Westfield Road.

Freedom Park, a Mecklenburg County regional park at 2435 Cumberland Ave., has a Little Sugar Creek Greenway entrance on the park side of Princeton Avenue, one of the streets in the National Register district. The Charlotte Museum of Nature is being built in the heart of Freedom Park, and its operator, Discovery Place, anticipates opening in 2026.

Myers Park Center, an EDENS shopping center, is at the intersection of Providence Road and Queens Road. For office and retail space, see my Myers Park commercial real estate page.

Schools

Public schools in Myers Park are part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS). CMS assigns each student a home school based on residential address and school boundaries, and it publishes boundary maps for each school year, currently 2026-2027. Assignments can change, so check a specific address with the Find My School lookup on Mecklenburg County's GeoPortal before you rely on it.

Buying or Selling in Myers Park

Before you make an offer, I can check a house's zoning, whether it is in Hermitage Court, is a designated local landmark or is a contributing building in the National Register district, and whether its large trees may be heritage trees. I can also ask for its deed restrictions early.

North Carolina's disclosure law requires the seller of a covered home to give the buyer three statements: a residential property disclosure statement and an owners' association and mandatory covenants disclosure statement (G.S. 47E-4), and a mineral and oil and gas rights mandatory disclosure statement (G.S. 47E-4.1). The first sale of a dwelling never inhabited is exempt from 47E-4 under G.S. 47E-2(b), but not from 47E-4.1.

If you're selling, I can gather the district status, any Certificates of Appropriateness for past exterior work, the deed restrictions and recent comparable sales before we list, in English or Korean. A free home valuation is a good first step, and my guide to selling a home in Charlotte covers the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

This page doesn't list homes for sale. Tell me your budget, the streets and house styles you're considering, and any work you plan, and I can send you current Myers Park listings that match. Before you tour one, I can also check whether it is in the National Register district, in Hermitage Court, or both.

Myers Park is a neighborhood inside the City of Charlotte, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and it is not a separate town. The National Park Service describes its National Register district as roughly bounded by NC 16, East and West Queens Road, and Lillington Avenue. The Myers Park Homeowners Association draws a different, irregular boundary, so check a specific address.

Yes, in two different ways. The Myers Park Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, which does not restrict a private owner unless the owner seeks a federal benefit such as a grant or tax credit. Hermitage Court, a subsection of Myers Park, is also a City of Charlotte local historic district, designated in 2006, where exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness.

In Hermitage Court, changes to the outside of a building or property, including windows, doors, fences and tree removal, need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Commission before work begins, even when no building permit is required. Everywhere in Myers Park, removing a qualifying heritage tree needs a City permit, and work on City street trees needs a tree work permit. A heritage tree is a North Carolina native tree with a DBH of 30 inches or greater. Building permits come from Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement, a designated local landmark needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before material alterations, and private deed restrictions may also apply.

The district's National Register nomination says nearly all buildings are detached single-family houses one to two stories tall, with Colonial Revival, Bungalow and Tudor Revival as the predominant styles. The 1920s were the busiest decade for homebuilding, mostly in red brick, and many buildings put up after World War II were Ranch houses or apartments. The homeowners association says the neighborhood also includes apartments, condominiums and duplexes.

I don't publish a price range here. Sale prices change and depend on the house, the lot, its condition and any restrictions on it, and a neighborhood average can mislead you about a specific street. Tell me the streets you're considering, and I can pull recent sales of comparable homes so you can see what they actually sold for.

The Myers Park Homeowners Association, incorporated in 1984, offers several membership levels to join or renew. It says deed restrictions apply to almost all property in Myers Park and set how far houses sit from the street and from side lot lines, that most are more demanding than the City's building and zoning code, and that City staff cannot enforce them. When a sale is covered by G.S. 47E-4, the seller's owners' association and mandatory covenants disclosure statement asks whether the house is subject to an owners' association and to dues. I can request the house's deed restrictions before you make an offer.

Myers Park is in the City of Charlotte, and its public schools are part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. CMS assigns each student a home school based on residential address and school boundaries, and it publishes boundary maps for each school year. Assignments can change, so check a specific address with the Find My School lookup on Mecklenburg County's GeoPortal before you rely on one.
