Where it sits in relation to Myers Park

248 Ridgewood Avenue; office and parking at 260 Ridgewood Avenue, Charlotte, NC 28209. We list this as in Myers Park: the address falls within the neighborhood as it is commonly understood.

This address sits within the Myers Park neighborhood itself — the streetcar-era suburb laid out from 1911 to John Nolen's plan, known for curving streets, deep lawns and a mature willow-oak canopy. Most of the neighborhood is residential, so destinations here are woven between homes rather than grouped in a single commercial strip.

Build an outing around this destination rather than assuming every nearby place has a safe, continuous walking connection. Open current directions from your actual starting point and choose your travel mode. For orientation across the neighborhood, see the Myers Park map and the guide to surrounding neighborhoods.
