Character
Sharon Township Lane lies just outside the original Barclay Downs plat, in the ring of small streets, courts and enclaves that developed around it. These pockets tend to be shorter, quieter and more varied in age than the core grid, and several were built or rebuilt decades after the neighborhood itself.
Housing stock
Housing here is more mixed than in the core: a combination of mid-century houses, later infill, townhomes and, in some pockets, newer attached product. Lot sizes vary considerably from one end of the street to the other.
Location
The practical advantages are the same as the core neighborhood — minutes from SouthPark, Morrocroft, Phillips Place and the Sharon Road corridor, with an easy run uptown.
Before you buy
Because these pockets straddle boundaries, confirm two things for any specific address on Sharon Township Lane: the current Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools assignment, and whether the property carries homeowners association obligations. Both differ from parcel to parcel here in ways they do not inside the core grid.
