Established in the 1950s, the Stonehaven neighborhood of Charlotte has become a popular community for its central location and proximity to Uptown, SouthPark and Cotswold areas of Charlotte.
The Stonehaven area is located between Monroe and Sardis roads just west of Independence Boulevard (Highway 74). It’s bordered to the north by Rama Road. The southern border is roughly Charlotte Christian and the McAlpine Creek.
There is no shortage of everyday amenities nearby, such as Rama and Sardis Swim & Racquet clubs as well as James Boyce, McAlpine Creek and Mason Wallace parks. The South Charlotte area is also home to several of the the city’s best golf courses and YMCAs.
SouthPark is about 5 miles away, and a commute Uptown via Monroe Road is only 9 miles. Traveling south to Ballantyne or the Arboretum is only a 15-20-minute drive. For everyday shopping, Cotswold is less than 5 minutes from Stonehaven.
