Originally a small mill village, Oakhurst sits about five miles southeast of downtown Charlotte, ready to invite newcomers into the close-knit vibe of the neighborhood. Oak trees line the streets, many hundreds of years old, lending a charming touch to the primarily bungalow and cottage-style brick homes in the neighborhood. Newer apartments for rent infuse a modern touch into the area, including the high-end Moderna area of Oakhurst. Artists and entrepreneurs in a variety of specialties call Oakhurst home, adding to the diversity of the neighborhood.

Don't miss the chance to bump into locals at the Oakhurst Grill, a favorite takeout-only restaurant serving a variety of comfort foods. If you prefer Mexican comfort food, head to Las Margarita Mexican Restaurant. Pick up Indian specialties at the Monroe Convenience Store and Nepali/Indian Grocery.

We moved here almost 2yrs ago. We love the diversity and character of homes. The neighborhoods are walkable and though we are older, we have always felt safe. What oakhurst lacks are Resturants, shops. I don't want to use the word "high-end", but much more than Jersey Mike's. Lastly, there is perfect spot for a grocery store like "Trader Joe's ". The demographics would support it.
