Builders, come take advantage of this prime location area to build multiple homes. This 3.24 acres is located right by Mallard Creek and 485. This land is zoned for single family residential but according to Char Meck Zoning, could support up to tri-plexes. It can not be rezoned multifamily. There is a home currently located on 1 of the 3 parcels. It appears to have good bones but needs a lot of rehab. From my estimation, you maybe able to get up to 8 homes on these lots. All 3 parcels to be sold together. City water available but not city sewer. The main for sewer stops at Mallard Woods. City says builder could connect to main but city will not do it. House being sold as is
Mallard Creek-Withrow Downs, located between University City Boulevard and I-485, is a suburban and commuter Charlotte neighborhood with wooded creek corridors and campus-adjacent retail strips. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mallard Creek Church Rd and W Mallard Creek Church Rd junction, where coffee counters, taquerias, and small service storefronts line the drive. Residential streets mix late-20th-century subdivisions with newer townhome clusters, often framed by mature trees and pocket ponds. Mallard Creek Greenway sets a linear outdoor spine for walks and bike rides. Community pillars include Armored Cow Brewing Co., PNC Music Pavilion, and Shuffletown Grill. The landscape shifts from creek-bottom trails to broad arterials leading toward UNC Charlotte and the University Research Park.
