Short answer: Myers Park and Eastover sit across Providence Road from each other and price almost identically per square foot, about $584 and $576 over the past year.* The difference is choice and pace. Myers Park had 124 sales at $700,000 and above, against 35 in Eastover. Myers Park sellers also received 98.0% of their original asking price, compared with 93.8% in Eastover. Start in Myers Park if you want the widest range of homes and price points. Start in Eastover if you want a compact, almost entirely single-family neighborhood, and you're prepared to wait for the right house.
The numbers side by side
Here is how the two compared over the past year, for single-family homes at $700,000 and above.*
| Myers Park | Eastover | |
|---|---|---|
| Homes sold | 124 | 35 |
| Median sale price | $2,297,500 | $2,790,000 |
| Median price per sq. ft. | $584 | $576 |
| Share of original list price received | 98.0% | 93.8% |
| Typical days on market | About 8 | About 14 |
| Months of supply | 2.4 | 1.4 |
| Sales at $3 Million and Above | 35 (28%) | 15 (43%) |
Two things stand out. First, a square foot costs about the same in both. Eastover's higher median comes from its mix: a larger share of its sales are big houses at $3 Million and Above. Second, Eastover sellers gave up more from their first asking price. With so few sales, buyers there compare every listing closely, and a home that starts too high usually has to come down. Full sale lists are in the Myers Park report and the Eastover report.
Where each neighborhood trades*
| Price band | Myers Park | Eastover |
|---|---|---|
| $700,000 to $1 Million | 7 sales, median $855,000 | 2 sales, median $938,500 |
| $1 Million to $3 Million | 82 sales, median $1,947,500 | 18 sales, median $1,850,000 |
| $3 Million and Above | 35 sales, median $3,825,000 | 15 sales, median $3,600,000 |
In the $1 Million to $3 Million band, Myers Park had more than four times as many sales as Eastover. If your budget sits in that range, Myers Park simply gives you more homes to choose from in a given month. Above $3 Million, Eastover holds its own. Fifteen of its 35 sales were at that level, mostly on its main roads.
One designer, two developers
Myers Park came first. George Stephens began developing it in 1911 on farmland owned by his father-in-law, John S. Myers, with a plan by John Nolen. Earle Sumner Draper, who chose much of the original planting, took over the design in 1917. The Myers Park Historic District joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
Eastover followed in 1927, when the E. C. Griffith Company assembled about 273 acres, then 43 more, just across Providence Road. Draper designed its first curving drives. The neighborhood's historic survey notes that Griffith meant Eastover to compete with Myers Park. The company also donated the land for the Mint Museum, which opened on Randolph Road in 1936.
What you will find on the ground
Myers Park is far larger, and its range is wide. You'll find smaller homes near the edges, Craftsman bungalows on the side streets, and large houses along Queens, Providence and Hermitage roads. Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Craftsman styles dominate. That variety is why there's a way into Myers Park at many price points.
Eastover is compact and almost entirely single-family. Its early houses are largely red-brick Georgian Revival and Tudor Revival, with later Colonial Revival homes and ranches. The lots on its main roads, Colville, Cherokee and Eastover, are larger than those on side streets such as Biltmore and Scotland. Because so few homes sell, Eastover's numbers swing more from month to month. A single estate sale can move the median.
Historic rules and trees
National Register listing honors Myers Park's history, but it does not by itself put your renovation plans through design review. Only Hermitage Court, a small section of Myers Park, is one of the city's eight local historic districts. There, exterior changes go before the Historic District Commission. Eastover is not one of the eight, according to the City of Charlotte.
In both neighborhoods, Charlotte's tree ordinance protects trees in the public right-of-way. If you're planning an addition or a new house, check the city's tree rules early.
Getting around
Myers Park borders Freedom Park and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway on its western side, and Queens University sits within it. Eastover has the Mint Museum Randolph and Eastover Park. From either one, Uptown and SouthPark are a short drive.

David's take
When a client can't decide between two very different neighborhoods, I always ask: which one fits your life better? Think about schools, your commute to work and the places you go every week. Myers Park and Eastover sit on either side of one road, and that question is usually what settles it.
So, which one fits you?
Lean toward Myers Park if you want the widest choice of homes and price points, faster decisions and Freedom Park close by. Lean toward Eastover if you want a mostly single-family neighborhood with larger lots on its main roads. Eastover also suits you if you can watch the market patiently, because in a typical month only a handful of homes come up there. Many buyers tour both, and the right house usually settles it.
