    Myers Park is a historic neighborhood inside the City of Charlotte, laid out in the early 1900s with landscape architect John Nolen and known for its curving, oak-lined streets such as Queens Road. It sits between Uptown and SouthPark, so homes here combine an established setting with short drives to work and shopping.
