The three districts
Everyday to occasion, in order of distance.
- Cotswold Village Shops (5 min)
- The workhorse: grocery, pharmacy, hardware, dry cleaning, wine, and a handful of good casual restaurants. This is the daily-errand district.
- Park Road Shopping Center (10 min)
- Charlotte's oldest center, and still one of its best. Trader Joe's, independent boutiques, long-running restaurants, and the Manor Theatre.
- SouthPark (12 min)
- Neiman Marcus, luxury boutiques, Phillips Place, and the surrounding office and hotel district. Where the occasion shopping happens.
- Metropolitan & Midtown (6 min)
- Big-box convenience — home goods, sporting goods, pet supply — directly on the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.
- Uptown & South End (10–15 min)
- Design showrooms, galleries, and specialty retail for renovation and furnishing projects.
