Sedgefield is one of Charlotte's most under-documented close-in neighborhoods. There is plenty written about Dilworth and Myers Park, and almost nothing sustained about the stretch of ground between Park Road and South Boulevard where the Marsh family farm became a postwar subdivision. This blog fills that gap one week at a time — on the houses and what it takes to renovate them, on how the 28209 market behaves, on the schools, the parks, the restaurants, and the long-running argument about what growth should look like here.
If you are new to the neighborhood, the Sedgefield story is the best place to begin, followed by the complete guide and the neighborhood map.
