Who writes this.

Experience on these streets, review by people who price and build houses here, and a citation standard you can check.

Most neighborhood websites are written by people who have never stood on the street they are describing. This one is not. Here is exactly who is responsible for what you read, and what qualifies them to say it.

Research and writing

The Discover Eastover Editorial Desk

Editorial team

The editorial desk researches, writes, and maintains this guide with a narrow focus on Eastover and its immediate Charlotte context.

Material claims are checked against sources such as Mecklenburg County POLARIS parcel records, the Charlotte Unified Development Ordinance, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools boundary resources, and the institution being described. Where a fact can change, readers are directed to the responsible authority.

Research and review practice

  • Reviews public parcel, planning, school-boundary, transportation, and institutional records
  • Distinguishes recorded boundaries and official requirements from editorial orientation
  • Dates changeable information and directs readers to current official sources
  • Maintains correction, disclosure, and citation standards for the guide
