Where is Ballantyne in Charlotte?

Many people have heard about Ballantyne and wonder how to locate Ballantyne Real Estate.  Ballantyne is actually located within Charlotte NC Real Estate.  Ballantyne is not a city of a town but was designed as a planned Live, Work, Play neighborhood that began in the mid to late 1990s.

The heart of Ballantyne is in South Charlotte centered through Johnston Rd.  Ballantyne technically begins at Ballantyne Commons Parkway at the stone pillars.  Continue south on Johnston Rd and you will pass by many commercial shopping areas, past Ballantyne Country Club and then to the Ballantyne pillars at the southern border of Ballantyne at Providence Rd West.

What makes Ballantyne unique or special?  Ballantyne has largely taken the Southpark model and amplified it.  In the 1990's, Southpark was largely a residential area.  Commercial development continued to expand.  The Southpark Mall was a typical mall with standard stores as expected in a mall. 

Commercial development continued around the area and Southpark quickly became the second largest employment center of the greater Charlotte area (second to uptown Charlotte).  So what did the developers of Ballantyne do to improve upon that concept?

Ballantyne was a hunting preserve prior to being developed.  The development was still  in the distant Charlotte Suburbs (although only 10 miles geographically from uptown Charlotte or currently 17 miles driving), the area was very rural.  The Ballantyne Country Club is the central part of Ballantyne and the greater Ballantyne area reflects the Country Club Atmosphere.
