1.7 miles away will afford residents convenient access to Mecklenburg Co. Dept. of Social Services, City,
DMV, Duke Power and BellSouth payment offices.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Trend and direction of real estate development and area economic health. Physical condition of buildings and
improvements in the immediate vicinity. Concentration of affordable housing.
The south side of Tuckaseegee Rd. along this section is slated for high density residential. The tract is
surrounded on 2 sides by R-17MF zoned tracts (allowing 17 units per acre). Across the street is a modest,
older well-maintained neighborhood of brick homes zoned R-3, allowing only single family uses. Thus
insuring the preservation of the residential character of the immediate area.
There is no tax credit or subsidized housing in the immediate vicinity of the site.
Less than one mile west is a new commercial center with grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, cleaners,
discount and convenient store. Just over one mile is Tuckaseegee Center and Park offering programs for
teenagers and families, a gym, community ctr. There are 4 churches within one mile, 2 daycares and 3
schools: Tuckaseegee elementary, Wilson Middle and west Mecklenburg HS are from 1 mile to 1.5 miles
