About Myers

Park

Myers Park, located between Uptown Charlotte and SouthPark, is a historic and residential Charlotte neighborhood with curving parkways and canopy-lined streets. Queens Road West and Queens Road East concentrate the neighborhood’s character, where joggers loop past stone bridges, landscaped medians, and grand early-20th-century homes. The Mint Museum Randolph and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway serve as cultural and outdoor anchors. Streetscapes mix Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman architecture with manicured gardens and brick sidewalks. Selwyn Avenue adds a low-key retail strip with local cafes and boutiques. Parks and greenways shape a walk-and-bike rhythm that feels removed from the skyline without leaving it behind.
