Myers Park Commercial Real Estate

Limited Retail at the Edges
Queens University Campus
Description
Myers Park is an early 20th-century Charlotte neighborhood just southeast of Uptown, bounded by Queens Road to the north, Providence Road to the east, Sharon Road to the south and Park Road to the west. It is inside the City of Charlotte, so zoning follows the City's Unified Development Ordinance. The neighborhood is overwhelmingly residential, and commercial space is limited to its edges: Myers Park Center at Providence Road and Queens Road, shops and restaurants along Selwyn Avenue, and Park Road Shopping Center on the Park Road edge. Queens University of Charlotte is also located within the neighborhood.
Commercial Real Estate Market Trends
Brokerages don't publish a separate commercial market report for Myers Park, and metro-wide office or retail figures don't describe a neighborhood this small, so I don't quote them here. The commercial space that exists sits mostly in established shopping centers: Myers Park Center, anchored by Harris Teeter at the intersection of Providence Road and Queens Road, and Park Road Shopping Center, which opened in 1956 as the first open-air shopping center in Charlotte, are both EDENS properties. The Myers Park Homeowners Association, formed in the 1970s in response to a City Council rezoning, works to preserve the neighborhood's original layout and its single-family homes.
Commute & Logistics
Providence Road, Kings Drive and Queens Road are the major thoroughfares in Myers Park, and Uptown Charlotte lies to the north. No interstate runs through the neighborhood and it has no LYNX light rail station; transit is by CATS bus, with routes along Kings Drive, Providence Road, Randolph Road, Selwyn Avenue, Park Road and Queens/Sharon Road. For a shop, office or clinic here, the practical access questions are parking and frontage on Providence Road, Selwyn Avenue or Park Road rather than highway proximity.
Business Climate & Economy
The neighborhood's own association, the Myers Park Homeowners Association, is a residential group rather than a business association; the regional business organization is the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance. The Queens University of Charlotte campus, founded in 1857, is located within the neighborhood at 1900 Selwyn Avenue. A major hospital sits just outside Myers Park rather than inside it: Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center is on Blythe Boulevard in neighboring Dilworth. Along Selwyn Avenue, businesses range from restaurants such as the Selwyn Avenue Pub and Nolen Kitchen to Reid's Fine Foods, salons and art galleries.
Key Commercial Nodes
Commercial space in Myers Park is limited to a few small nodes on the neighborhood's edges:

- Selwyn Avenue — restaurants, shops, salons and art galleries
- Park Road Shopping Center — open-air center on the Park Rd edge, opened 1956
- Queens University of Charlotte — university campus on Selwyn Ave
- Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center — adjacent, in Dilworth
Leasing & Purchasing in Myers Park
I'm Yubeen Choi, a bilingual English/Korean commercial broker with eXp Realty. In Myers Park the first constraint is supply: the neighborhood is overwhelmingly residential, so a search usually means watching for space to open in an existing center or on Selwyn Avenue. Because the area is in the City of Charlotte, I confirm a site's zoning district under the Unified Development Ordinance and whether your use is permitted before you sign, which matters for medical, fitness and restaurant uses. I also line up comparable space on nearby corridors so your options aren't limited to one or two storefronts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Very little, because Myers Park is overwhelmingly residential. What exists is neighborhood-scale retail and service space: Myers Park Center at Providence Road and Queens Road, storefronts along Selwyn Avenue, and Park Road Shopping Center on the Park Road edge. Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center is nearby in Dilworth, not inside Myers Park.
Myers Park is inside the City of Charlotte, so zoning is governed by the City's Unified Development Ordinance, effective June 1, 2023. I confirm a site's zoning district and whether your use is permitted before you sign a lease or make an offer.
Brokerages don't publish a Myers Park rent figure, and rates vary by property class, size and lease structure, such as NNN versus gross. With so few spaces, I can pull current comparable lease rates for your target size and use from Myers Park and nearby corridors.
