Starmount

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Starmount is a residential neighborhood in the South Charlotte (South Boulevard at Arrowood and Archdale) area.

Starmount was constructed during the early 1960’s by Irvine Construction Company. Phase one of construction took place primarily from Starbrook Drive south to Sherbourne then spread north towards Archdale Drive at Phase two.

Starmount homes were built to last using true pine 2 x 4s, hardwood floors and brick construction. 1,200-1,500 sq. ft ranch style plans make up a great portion of the neighborhood but there are also many split-level, two-story and basement homes pushing 2,400 sq. ft and beyond.

Consisting of nearly 1,400 homes, Starmount is the largest established neighborhood in South Charlotte. Lots of mature trees, spacious lots and little through-traffic offer residents a quiet, safe and attractive community complete with a neighborhood pool and tennis courts.

As residential space around the center city and within the 485 perimeter becomes increasingly valuable, Starmount has become a hot-spot for young first-time home buyers and young professionals desiring a “great deal for the money.” Home values continue to rise - currently selling from $120k - 200k+.

Starmount boundaries: West from Old Pineville Road, North to Emerywood, East to Delchester and along the Little Sugar Creek, South to Sherbourne.
