Communities in the 2nd Ward:
I recently purchased a home in Charlotte in the Sedgefield area and Showcase Realty with Nancy Braun and her team were very knowledgeable about the area but what really set them apart were their negotiation skills with the buyer. I was also impressed with the contractors that they recommended to me for some enhancements that I did with the place. Leigh Anne was a very professional realtor and even after the sale I have called on her for assistance.

More about the 2nd Ward in Uptown ~ Charlotte NC
The 2nd Ward is vibrant and going through a renewal period
Charlotte's Uptown Second Ward Community is located in the southeast quadrant of the city.
It lies directly to the south of the intersection of Trade and Tryon and is bordered by East Trade Street, Tryon Street's business and entertainment district and the I-277 urban highway loop.


Today, Second Ward is home to most of the city and county government activities and is the site of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, the Mecklenburg County Courthouse, and Marshall Park are all located in Second Ward.
Currently, Second Ward is undergoing a surge in exciting new growth as Brooklyn is coming back to Charlotte.
As Charlotte's government district, Second Ward historically used to have no housing. Today it is considered Uptown's center of hospitality, with more than 3,000 hotel rooms.


Mecklenburg County began seeking proposals for the renewal of Second Ward, currently referred to as Brooklyn Village, on December 2015.
They shortlisted three teams and went through the process. The Board of County Commissioners selected their partner in the redevelopment.
From a sterile government district, the project aims to transform the area to a vibrant, mixed use quarter while still maintaining the balance between history and the future.
The $683 million project seeks to create a stream of economic returns to the local community by providing various boutiques, stores, and restaurants. It also aims to create opportunities for local entrepreneurs to establish businesses.
