About the area

Quiet ResidentialHistoric West EndCar-DependentCommunity-Oriented

University Park is an established mid-century neighborhood in West Charlotte known for its strong community roots, brick ranch-style homes, and mature tree canopies. While its residential interior is relatively peaceful, it sits along the Beatties Ford Road corridor, which experiences higher property and violent crime rates than suburban Charlotte averages.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
